I'm not sure I understand why the people your boss partners with know about it. Did you tell them as a patient of theirs or did you just confide in them in a personal conversation?
I completely agree with sb417. You should not tell your boss. You're working in a business and despite the fact that the business is about mental health, it's still a business. Your supervisor is someone you work for; he may be kind and you may feel close to him at times, but he is not (necessarily) your friend. As this is a business, your information could easily end up in your personal file and might possibly be used against you someday. You just never know what could come up. You need to protect yourself above all else. The possible payoff in telling him is not worth the substantial risk.
