Help Can a therapist make a report about this?

Not my usual post, but I feel like I need to open up about this to someone fully.
I was sexually abused by my uncle from being born to about 16, with 5 year gap when he was in prison. I think he has hurt other minors around that time, as one of my cousins also touched me and I believe she learned it from him. He seems fine nowadays, even has a kid, who I pay very close attention to for any signs of being hurt or taken advantage of.
I'd like to tell this to my therapist, but I don't know if she would make a report about this. I don't want family drama or to recount things to a court as long as my little cousin is fine. I don't want her to grow up without a father.

Not sure about their reporting obligations (ask them what reporting obligations they have)... tho what if your cousin is experiencing the same things? Having it reported can protect your cousin... since the abuse went on for years, I have a feeling the cousin is at risk of being a future victim, unless preventative action is taken.

That's my problem. She seems to be doing okay, and I check on her constantly. If my uncle got convicted, they most likely would have get deported with her mother since their visa is kinda fucked. I really don't want anything bad happen to her and I know preventative measures would be the best, but their only source of income is my uncle unfortunately.

Government benefits may be applied for... tho I'm not an immigration attorney so maybe consider getting a free legal opinion about the visa situation?
