Does Kaiser offer mental therapy for teens?

I've been wanting to see a psychiatrist or psychologist for a while now. I'm 17 and I have Kaiser health coverage. I'm not exaclty sure what's included in our plan, though.
Are the therapists at Kaiser helpful? Or would it be best for me to go to a private therapist? Would Kaiser cover any portion of that? Are there specific hours that the psychologists at Kaiser are available? And how do I go about asking my parents about going to therapy without having to tell them everything?

Ah, typical teen stuff. Sorry for the cliche but any answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes they do. They have psychiatrist and psychologists. Give them a call and ask about your coverage and when they are available.
