HI :D this is what i am going to school to become, a forensic psychologist on average makes about 59-79,000 on an average! and this is only if you have a doctorate, there are very very very few jobs for masters in this field so when going into this you do have to choose youre degree level very carefully,
For a Counseling psychologist the average was about 63,935 starting out, and this is mainly ones that work in hospitals or are able to start there own successful practice =)
hope i helped!
