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?

My phycologist just asks me questions, she writes them down on a pad of paper. Everything is confidential unless she thinks I am at risk of harming myself or others. ( self harm doesnt count unless you are doing it to kill yourself, its when you have a plan to kill yourself or are at high suicide risk that she will tell someone or get someone else involved )
