psyciatrist - medical doctor and can prescribe medicine and administer therapy
psychology - specialist in abnormal psychology. provides therapy
counselor - specialist and works with everyday people with everyday coping problems (like stress, school, work, etc)
when you go the first time they have a test they have to give you to get the basics (to make sure you're sane and all that jazz) like memorization, what day it is, what your name is, what year it is, coordination, etc. it's easy and nothing to worry about.
then they ask you why you've come, you give them your story, they give some input. if you think you need meds, ask. they'll ask you why you have the thoughts you do, how you feel, etc. they're not there to interrigate you, it's not as bad or horrible as it seems. the first time is always the hardest time. get it over with the first time and you're good to go.
