The LCAT exam is the NYS license exam.

This depends on which discipline is your area of practice. Copied and pasted from the OP website is the information regarding examination for any CAT:

Examination Requirements

Please note: New York State candidates for the creative arts therapist licensing examinations must have completed their graduate program and received the graduate degree as a condition for admission to the examination. Applicants for licensure will not be approved to take the examination prior to receipt of the graduate degree.

To meet the examination requirement for licensure as a creative arts therapist in New York State, you must pass one of the following examinations:

"Board Certification" examination administered by the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB); or "Board Certification" examination administered by the Certification Board for Music Therapist (CBMT); or New York State Case Narrative Examination administered by CASTLE Worldwide, Inc.

Before being admitted to an examination for New20York State licensure, you must:

Submit an Application for Licensure (Form 1) and fee ($345) to the New York State Education Department. Ask your school to verify your education directly to the New York State Education Department on the Certification of Professional Education form (Form 2). Receive notification of approval of your education and all application materials from the New York State Education Department. (We will notify you and the examination administrators when you have satisfied the examination eligibility requirements.) Register directly with the examination administrator of your choice to take the examination after being notified of your eligibility. You may contact the examination administrator using the contact information below.

The New York State Case Narrative Examination consists of submission of two case narratives that describe the assessment and treatment of separate clients. This will allow you to demonstrate a basic level of competence in applying the knowledge and skills necessary to practice creative arts therapy in New York State. You will be able to select your own cases in advance, but you will write the case narratives in a supervised, secure test center. Each narrative will be reviewed and scored by the State Board or its designees to determine the thoroughness and appropriateness of your interactions with and your therapeutic approach to the treatment of a client. Additional information regarding this examination is available in the New York State Creative Arts Therapy Case Narrative Licensing Examination Packet (PDF for printing). You may also request a copy of the packet by e-mailing opforms

@mail.nysed.gov or by calling ext. 320 or by faxing .

Note: New York State will not accept an examination given under non-standard conditions except per the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Examples of such non-standard conditions include the use of a dictionary or extra time for applicants whose primary language is other than English. If a candidate passed the examination under non-standard conditions for another jurisdiction, that candidate may be required to retake the examination under standard conditions.

Reasonable Testing Accommodations

If you have a disability and may require reasonable testing accommodations for the examination, you must complete and submit a Request for Reasonable Testing Accommodations form. You may also request a copy of the form by e-mailing opforms@... or by calling ext. 320 or by faxing . You must mail the Request for Reasonable Testing Accommodations form to the address printed on that form, along with the required documentation.
