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?

Look, following this thread — Commenting so I can find this later. Very relevant to my situation.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

Not surprised at all tbh.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

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.
