Depends on: your state laws. In Washington, if you are 13 years and older you can be seen without your parents for drug/alcohol, family planning/STD, or mental health issues. Check your state. Although, I strongly recommend adolescents discuss care with their parents before starting any meds. Remember, these laws were put in place to protect vulnerable adolescents not undermine parental relationships.
