Only psychiatrists or other medical doctors can prescribe medication in the state of New York. If you are currently on medication for emotional reasons, or if in the course of working with a therapist you need to be evaluated for medication, your therapist will refer you to, and work closely with, your psychiatrist to ensure that your care is appropriately coordinated.
