What will you receive after assessment?
For you or your child, the assessment culminates in a comprehensive report connecting biological and developmental context, executive functioning and attention, and inner experience and personal meaning. It brings difficulties and strengths into an integrated understanding of the person within their life context.
- Clinical and diagnostic synthesis: connecting findings from the three perspectives, assessing ADHD against DSM-5 criteria and considering other factors, alongside cognitive strengths and patterns of attention that support or challenge everyday functioning.
- An individual profile: strengths, patterns of attention and organization, and the everyday conditions that support or challenge the person.
- A tailored roadmap: specific recommendations for psychological support, everyday strategies and, where appropriate, medical referral or school, university and workplace accommodations.
- A feedback session: review the report with your psychologist, ask questions and agree on practical priorities. The report provides a baseline for reviewing change in optional future follow-up.
You may share the report with your physician or the relevant organization; acceptance and documentation requirements depend on that recipient. Medical assessment and prescribing remain the physician’s responsibility.
Fees and payment terms
The base estimate for comprehensive assessment, for adults and children or adolescents, is CAD 2,500 in Canada and USD 1,800 in the United States. The final fee is agreed before starting, based on assessment needs and additional requests. Any change in scope or fees requires your prior agreement.
Comprehensive assessment includes all three perspectives, integration of findings, a written report in one language and a feedback session. Payment is in two stages; based on the base estimate, each is CAD 1,250 in Canada or USD 900 in the United States. Final amounts and timing are agreed before starting.
A comprehensive assessment typically involves around 10 hours of clinical work: interviews and assessment, scoring and interpretation, integration of findings, report preparation, and sessions for discussion, feedback and guidance tailored to you or your child. This estimate combines appointment time and the psychologist’s work between appointments.
Canadian services are paid in CAD and US services in USD. Credit card and PayPal are payment options; Interac e-Transfer is also accepted in Canada. For US services, ACH bank transfer availability must be confirmed with your provider before booking.
Follow-up after assessment
After completing a comprehensive assessment at Hamsoo, follow-up is arranged at your request with your responsible psychologist: CAD 150 in Canada or USD 110 in the United States per 30-minute session. Follow-up is optional and separate from the comprehensive assessment fee.
Psychotherapy, a report in another language and services beyond the agreed scope are billed separately. Any additional service or fee is agreed with you before it is provided.

Professional biographyQuick questions
Can insurance reimburse my assessment or my child’s?
Your responsible psychologist issues receipts for either pathway. Before booking, check ADHD assessment coverage, provider and appointment-format eligibility, reimbursement limits and required documents with your insurer. Reimbursement depends on your policy.
Can the report support a medical consultation and medication discussion?
Your report or your child’s documents findings and clinical recommendations for discussion with a family doctor, paediatrician or psychiatrist. Medical assessment and prescribing remain the physician’s responsibility; receiving a report does not imply that medication will be prescribed.
Which languages are available for appointments and reports?
Appointments in Persian or English; reports in Persian or English, with a French version by arrangement and at an additional cost.
How do adult and child or adolescent assessments differ?
Adults (18+) discuss current experiences and childhood history directly. For ages 7–17, a parent or guardian makes the request; age-appropriate sessions, developmental history and parent and, with consent, school information are considered. Both pathways include a report and feedback session.
Why does my physical location or my child’s during appointments matter?
Care must be consistent with the psychologist’s professional authorization and the location of the person being assessed. For a child’s assessment, your child’s location matters. Tell your psychologist before travelling or moving so that service availability can be reviewed.
