you can. Therapists are mandated to disclose certain information that is being given to them in the course of their work. How someone makes money is NOT that kind of information. For any information that is NOT that kind of information, you are protected by confidentiality between you and the therapist.
Disclaimer: this is true for California.
Advice: READ the privacy notice that your therapist has given you. If you have misplaced it as most people do, request another copy.
