Psychological Testing & Screening in Miami
Validated screening tools and symptom questionnaires that help clarify what you're experiencing, guide your diagnosis, and track your progress — as part of a thorough, personalized psychiatric evaluation. Offered in English and Spanish, in person and by telepsychiatry across Florida.
What Psychological Screening Involves
Psychological screening uses brief, standardized questionnaires to measure symptoms like low mood, worry, focus, and sleep. Tools such as the PHQ-9 (depression) and GAD-7 (anxiety) — along with other validated measures — put a clear number to how you're feeling, so your care is guided by more than a single conversation.
These measures are one part of your evaluation, not a label. Your provider always interprets them alongside your history, your goals, and what you share during your visit.
How Screening Supports Your Care
Short, structured questionnaires give your provider a clearer picture at every stage. They help establish a baseline of your symptoms, clarify a diagnosis alongside the clinical evaluation, and measure how you respond to treatment over time — so meaningful changes are easier to notice and act on early.
What to Expect
Screening usually takes place as part of your evaluation or a routine follow-up. You'll answer a set of short questionnaires — on paper or securely online — and your provider will review the results with you and explain what they mean for your plan. It typically takes only a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
We use validated symptom questionnaires such as the PHQ-9 for depression and the GAD-7 for anxiety, along with other brief measures matched to your concerns.
No. These are short symptom-screening questionnaires used as part of psychiatric care — not a full neuropsychological or forensic testing battery. If a more specialized evaluation is appropriate, we'll help you find the right next step.
A screening on its own isn't a diagnosis. The questionnaires highlight patterns in how you've been feeling, and your provider interprets them alongside a full conversation about your history to reach an accurate picture.
Your provider reviews the results with you and explains what they mean in plain language. From there you'll work together on an individualized plan, which may include a comprehensive evaluation and, when it's appropriate, medication management.
Yes. You can be seen in person at our Miami office in the Kendall / The Hammocks area, or from the comfort of home through secure telepsychiatry available anywhere in Florida — whichever fits your life better.
