I'm not sure what your State law says, but typically at 17 most states will hold up the confidentiality rights. If she says anything to your parents it is most likely going to be what's called a HIPPA violation.
HIPPA is an act that was passed that protects a patient's right to confidentiality and privacy. Let your T know that you would view her disclosing info to your parents as a violation of HIPPA and a violation of your rights. Let her know she does not have your permission to disclose your health info. That way it is clear and she knows that you are serious.
