Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

I wanted to know if it is possible to sue the assistant attorney general for a complaint they filed against me with my licensing board which was without factual merit but did result in me having to stipulate to the revocation of my license to practice psychotherapy because I could not afford to hire an attorney to defend myself. The assistant AG clearly was emotionally involved, literally had no facts on which to base her complaint (only hearsay) and her own investigators report stated that there was no factual basis on which to file a complaint...and yet she did, knowing I could not afford the cost to defend myself.

Do I have a cause of action...My reputation has been destroyed as has my private practice and I have sufferred great emotional and financial distress as a result of her complaint...even the "mediator" (judge) told her that her complaint was "highly emotional and without any factual backing" but she would not back down and I had no choice but to stipulatate to the surrender of my license (without any admissions of guilt or wrongdoing) or try to defend myself in a hearing before an administrative law judge against the assistant attorney general!
