I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
therapist breaching confidentiality. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

The auto-renewal trap is real. I signed a SaaS contract that auto-renewed with only 30 days' notice to cancel. Some states have laws against surprise renewals — California's ARL requires clear disclosure and easy cancellation.
I work in compliance and I can tell you — companies take demand letters seriously, especially when they cite specific statutes. A vague 'I'm going to sue you' email gets ignored. A detailed letter citing Chapter X Section Y of the [State] Code with specific damages calculations gets forwarded to legal immediately.
