If your therapist does not have a Medical Degree it is not a good idea to take medical advice from them.

Some Doctoral level Psychologists can write prescriptions and they have been specially trained to manage your psychiatric medication.

As a matter of courtesy between doctors you should inform the doctor that prescribed the medication that you have been told to stop taking it.

Some medications have multiple uses and your therapist may not have taken certain medical usages into account.
