As Ocean said, a psychiatrist can prescribe meds while a psychologist or therapist cannot. A psychologist has had more formal training than a therapist. Therapists can't formally diagnose. As to how long it might take, it really depends on who you're seeing and what your issue(s) are. This can take anything from a couple sessions to quite a few more. The more open you can be with them, the faster you should get a diagnosis.
