My question involves criminal law for the state of: MICHIGAN

Hi

I'm on a 1 year probation for resisting arrest and I have bipolar, as part of my probation order I have to :

1. " take medication as prescribed by a licensed physician" and
2. "complete mental health and other recommended treatment following assessment by a qualified community-based service provider."
3. DUI classes

I been going to a independent governmental mental health office for the pass 6 months now. My counselor which provides individual therapy, ( we talk ) has be asking me questions I feel don't have nothing to do with mental health therapy, questions such as " did hack probation website and remove my picture" (they just didn't put one) brings up my social networking pages and asks me questions about my friends. Or asks to call and ask my probation officer because I refuse to tell him what classes I plan to go to for my court order DUI classes.



Rather than help improve my situation I feel its punishment, making me resent treatment and feel worst. I called my probation officer and explained whats be going on and that I was going to get treatment by a private Psychological Service and that I will sign a release of information.

My probation officer said I could not change where I go to get treated for my mental health disorder and that she would go before the judge if I changed mental health officers.


My question is, can my PO legally force me to get mental health treatment from a place that is doing more harm than good?


The court didn't say where at had to go for treatment only " Must complete mental health, and other recommended treatment following assessment by a qualified community-based service provider."

Can I sue the counselor and avoid having to go to treatment at that place?

What should I do?
