Well, I don't know: The psychologist and each person is different. If a request to be seen earlier was polite and not overly pushy - don't know why that would generate anger. Some groups works in teams. A social worker may take part of the history. Another individual may do psychological testing. Sometimes a psychiatrist may assess for medical problems or need for meds. Just ask what their triage team is. Take care.
