More details to this question:
I started writing on top have no idea how to do this. My psychiatrist basically lies. I pay out of pocket and he doesn’t help and I’ll call in distress and he won’t ever call back unless I pay him. I told him I recorded our session because what he was doing was illegal. He then called and terminated our relationship. I asked for a termination letter and just read it and it is all lies to cover himself, but none of it is true and it’s causing me major distress. I left him a voicemail saying I want the letter changed that is not accurate and will contact a lawyer to see what to do. He has caused me more emotional damage by seeing him but he was my only option after my other psychiatrist passed away. I’m having a major anxiety attack I called him a bully. This is negligence and an abuse of power

Sorry to hear what you're going through. Given how much they cost to litigate, medical malpractice lawsuits do not make sense unless you've suffered a serious, permanent injury. Without minimizing what you went through, emotional distress, without more, would not justify such a lawsuit. You may wish, however, to file a complaint with the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC), https://www.health.ny.gov/professionals/doctors/conduct/.
