I want to write prescriptions

Clinical psychologists (PhD or PsyD) have limited prescribing rights in only a five states: Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana and New Mexico. Clinical psychologists who work for the Indian Health Service and US Armed Forces also have limited prescribing rights.

If you want the ability to prescribe for your patients, you will need to become a physician (MD or DO), physician assistant or clinical nurse practitioner.
