Generally, a psychologist needs to gain the consent of at least one parent before undertaking therapy. There are exceptions, however, in California for teenagers, if the psychologist deems it inappropriate to approach a parent for consent. You should actually check to see if this is a licensed psychologist since many "therapists" are neither licensed, nor do they have appropriate training. If you are troubled by the texting, talk first to teacher, then the principal, then to the school board.
