What psychological testing involves

Psychological testing (also called assessment) is a structured evaluation — not ongoing therapy — that uses standardized tests, interviews, and questionnaires to answer a specific question: clarifying a diagnosis, identifying ADHD or a learning difference, assessing cognitive or emotional functioning, or informing a treatment plan. It typically produces a written report with findings and recommendations.

An assessment usually spans one or more sessions and is conducted by a licensed psychologist or qualified evaluator. It's often requested by a school, physician, attorney, or the person themselves to understand what's going on and what to do next. If you need answers rather than (or before) treatment, the providers below in South Miami offer testing and assessment services.
