Are you seeking a letter for Emotional Support Animal (ESA)?​​
What is an Emotional Support Animal?
​Emotional Support Animals provide companionship and comfort to individuals experiencing emotional or psychological challenges. Unlike Service Animals, ESAs do not require specialized training but do require a letter written by a licensed mental health professional for housing in the state of Ohio.
ESAs, Service Animals, and Therapy Animals serve different purposes. ESAs provide comfort and support to individuals with emotional or psychological conditions, while Service Animals are specifically trained and prescribed to assist individuals with disabilities. Therapy Animals, on the other hand, are used in therapeutic settings to help multiple people.
If someone is seeking ESA documentation for housing it's important to go through a proper assessment process to determine eligibility. This letter can then be provided for established clients or those referred by professionals.
Our Services
1
ESA Assessment
Our assessment process evaluates mental health symptoms, functional impact, and whether an Emotional Support Animal is clinically appropriate. Evaluations are conducted by licensed mental health professionals using established clinical standards.
2
ESA Letter
When clinically appropriate, professional ESA documentation is provided following the assessment and any required follow-up. This documentation may be used for housing accommodations under federal guidelines.
How It Works
1. Initial Contact
• Potential clients complete the consultation form
• Current clients discuss the need with their therapist
• Referring providers may submit a referral form
2. Assessment Session
Schedule a comprehensive assessment to evaluate whether an Emotional Support Animal is clinically appropriate (in-person or telehealth).
3. Decision
After the assessment, a clinical determination is made. If an ESA is not clinically indicated, an explanation and recommendations are provided.
When appropriate, a follow-up appointment is scheduled to review the treatment plan and next steps.
4. Recieve Your Letter
When clinically appropriate, ESA documentation is provided during or after the follow-up appointment.
