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?

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

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.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

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.

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.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

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