Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Therapy Disclosure by Child 14 or older

My daughter sees a therapist. The therapist thinks she has bi-polar disorder. Her father lives in New York and disagrees with the diagnosis. He wants to see her records. I told him he could not because now that she is 14 years old, he must have her permission. Am I correct?
