What is PsychScan?
PsychScan is a comprehensive, validated mental health test. It assesses eleven DSM-5 disorders commonly seen in clinical practice that therapists need to know up front.
Therapists get a comprehensive Clinician Report with specific DSM-5 diagnoses, symptoms, and scores. Clients get a personalized Client Report highlighting areas where therapy can help. Your practice name and contact information are included on the Client Report so new clients can reach you.
Which subscription is right for me?
PsychScan Pro is for individual therapists and small group practices. A monthly PsychScan Pro subscription includes up to five assessments per month. An annual PsychScan Pro subscription includes up to 75 assessments per year. PsychScan Clinic is for organizations of any size, up to regional and national healthcare systems. To learn more, please see our information page for organizations.
How do my clients access PsychScan?
Sign in to your PsychScan account and add a new client to your client list. You can then send a PsychScan link by text or email. Your client clicks the link to start the assessment. It's that easy. You can also add a PsychScan link or button like the one below to your website so clients can access PsychScan right from your website.
Do therapists and clients get different reports?
Yes, they are completely different. The Client Report provides client-oriented information and empowers clients to make good decisions about their mental health care. Clients view the report as soon as they complete the PsychScan assessment, when they are most curious about their results. You can turn client reports on or off. The comprehensive Clinician Report provides detailed diagnostic information for clinicians and is sent only to the clinician.
How can PsychScan help me provide more effective treatment?
The Clinician Report provides a comprehensive picture of symptoms and diagnoses to help you decide whether a prospective client is a fit for your practice. It identifies major problem areas so you know what you’re dealing with and can focus on what’s important from your first meeting. Therapists juggle competing demands in the initial meeting. We need to connect with clients and develop a therapeutic alliance. We also need to do a thorough evaluation, inquire about symptoms, assess safety risk when relevant, and (depending on insurance and regulatory requirements) record a diagnosis. PsychScan performs this comprehensive evaluation, so you never have to worry you missed something important. Instead of reviewing lists of symptoms and disorders with clients, you can connect with them and focus on doing therapy.
Can PsychScan help grow my practice?
Yes. When you add PsychScan to your website, prospective clients engage with you from the first online contact. They'll stay on your site instead of browsing to the next. The personalized Client Report gives them valuable information they’ll want to keep and refer to. The report includes your practice information so they know how to reach you. The Client Report helps prospective clients understand how therapy can help with their specific problems and helps overcome initial ambivalence about scheduling the all-important first appointment.

How can PsychScan do all this in less than 10 minutes?

Are PsychScan results reliable and valid?
Yes. PsychScan has high reliability and validity.

PsychScan brings this proven, time-tested technology to your therapy practice. Read about the science here:
