Is it possible that he attend a session with you and your mental health professional? Sometimes when they hear from someone that is not attached (a professional) to the family - it has more power. If your father refuses to do this - then you do what is best for you. If it were my father - I would refuse to see him because he is crossing a HUGE line by sharing your information about your struggles.
I am so sorry this is happening to you. I'm sure it also hurts that your father will not show more respect for you. I hope you are getting support for this issue.
