How does a trip to a psychologist go?

Apparently, I'm supposed to go to one on the 27th. The information that I collected about them was that they're more complex than a counselor, and can actually diagnose the patient for mental illness and treat them, but I want to know how a visit may go. Do they ask you questions like a regular counselor? And do they scan your brain?

No, no brain scans. I went to one once for interest sake. He seemed like a nice guy and interestingly he was blind.
He didn't like it when I asked him questions about himself though. He once actually squirmed in his seat after I asked him something.

@Wraithorn: Psychologists will only share information about themselves if they think it will, in some way, benefit the treatment of the patient. The session isn't about them, after all.

@RosyRosie: Yes thanks Rosy. I understand that but I couldn't help doing it just to see how he reacted. I didn't do it again.
