Hey! Congratulations on getting an appointment. Even if you don't like this one, it's a lot easier to look for a new one when you don't feel the pressure. And this one might be just perfect.
A psycho-pharmacologist is just a psychiatrist who specialized in medication management. I'm guessing that most of the ones coming out of college now are oriented that way. My psychiatrist I think does both. His receipt lets him pick between psycho-pharmacology visit and a session. Some doctors want to hear a bit more about what's going on than mine does though. Mine is striclty the meds ma'am. Doesn't want to consult with my therapist or hear anything not directly related to medication.
Let us know how you like her. :)
