How do I open up to my parents about having got mental health support without them knowing?

[17/f] Parents have a history of being incredibly unsupportive and scolding about me trying to get support for my mental health issues (anxiety, depression, childhood complex trauma). This time I have started going to appointments whilst keeping them in the dark. However, there is no way that I can maintain the accessibility of the support being offered to me if I have to continue doing it behind my parents’ backs. Ideally, I don’t want my parents to be involved, though I’d like them to be aware. I want to be able to recover independently as my issues are rooted from the mistrust from them. The reason I am so anxious about this is due to my brother and father’s violent (emotionally, physically) tendencies, and my mother’s history of suicide threats, and tendency for intense guilt tripping. Please help.
