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
What kinds of screening do you use?
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.
Is this the same as neuropsychological testing?
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.
Do I need a referral for a screening?
No. You can schedule directly. Most insurance plans do not require a referral for psychiatric care.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans. We also offer self-pay options.
Is screening available in Spanish?
Yes. Screening and the full evaluation are available in both English and Spanish.
