The only people who can write prescriptions are those who are licensed to do so. MDs, some NPs and PAs. The only ones able to write controlled substances are those with clearance from the DEA.
A psychologist is a Ph.D. and is NOT able to write prescriptions.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor and can write prescriptions.

No, Nebraska is not one of the states with prescribing privileges for psychologists. As of now, only specially trained psychologists in New Mexico, Louisiana, and some through the Department of Defense can prescribe medication.
