Can I file a complaint against a former counselor at for sharing my info?
I had a counselor at Texas workforce comission for the WIOA program. They put you through training and help get jobs. My counselor did some things behind my back, like contacting my distant family members and spreading false information about me. She did tell Some of my personal business people and acted overall very unprofessional. When I confronted her about it, she got an attitude with me. I would call her to tell her that I had a bad day and she would contact my family members and a former counselor repeating to them everything that I told her. She got me a job, but told my supervisor negative things about my life to make them feel sorry and hire me out of pity. That supervisor on the job even said she did. She caused drama in my family by contacting them and a former counselor and discussing whatever I told her or whatever I did in the program. I really don't think shes supposed to do this. She tried to justify starting drama in my life by telling her boss that I'm a negative, horrible person and my family told her bad things about me which she repeated to her boss/coworkers.
She basically went behind my back to contact my family members/get in the middle of my family drama. She told my family everything I said to her in her office, which caused drama. She also told employers about my living situation and my family situation. They criticized me based on that. Most of these things I never told her, she got the info from contacting my former counselor and my family members. She acted unproffessional and tried to make me look like a horrible person. I feel like she has crossed the line and broken my trust.
Didn't she break confidentiality or something? I'm so annoyed. Is there any way I can report her?

From what you have written she has broken any confidentiality agreement. For just what your recourse is I suggest you contact a lawyer as laws vary from state to state. Most lawyers will see you at no charge for a first visit. If a monetary recovery is possible most lawyers will take the case for a percentage of the recovery.

If she is truly a counselor, then she is indeed breaking Dr/Patient confidentiality. If she was merely pretending to be one and doesn't have the credentials, then she is in legal trouble for pretending to be one. YOu need to contact a lawyer and find out how to proceed.
