Criteria for Emotional Support Animals
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal that offers comfort and therapeutic benefits to individuals experiencing mental or emotional challenges. Typically, a licensed mental health professional, such as a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist, will recommend an ESA after assessing the individual’s need for the animal to support their mental well-being. ESAs can be beneficial for a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and others.
When you receive a prescription for an Emotional Support Animal, you will obtain an official document referred to as an Emotional Support Animal letter, or ESA letter. This document serves to confirm your genuine need for the assistance your animal offers and grants you exemptions from federal housing and travel regulations.
Our certified therapists assess multiple factors during the evaluation process for emotional support certification of an animal. This assessment encompasses the animal’s temperament and behavior, potential for bonding, health and vaccination history, as well as its compatibility with the living environment. Upon determining that your pet qualifies for Emotional Support Animal certification, our therapists will provide you with an ESA letter.
