I'm about to lay out a complicated situation, but I have no one else I can really ask.

My cousin has had an extremely deep traumatic wound for over a decade because his uncle murdered his beloved aunt and was able to get away with it scot-free. Every single person on his side of the family has either privately or openly said they would kill said uncle if they were given the chance.

My cousin says this disqualifies him from receiving the therapy that he DESPERATELY needs, because the therapist would be required to turn him into the police. Is this really true, or is he free to seek therapy? In USA, if that helps.
