Could a psychiatrist refuse you treatment?
Yes. If the psychiatrist is in private practice, s/he can develop his/her own criteria for being treated in his/her practice. Contracts itemizing responsibilities of both patient and doctor may be provided, and lapses may mean being discharged. Usually the psychiatrist also provides referral sources in such cases. Also, a given practice or service may not be the best for you, and outside referrals made.
