Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Evaluations

An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) can be a steady, calming presence for people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health concerns. A proper ESA evaluation is a clinical process where a licensed mental health professional takes time to understand what you’re experiencing, how it affects your day-to-day life, and whether an ESA is likely to provide meaningful support as part of your overall care plan.

In an ESA evaluation, you can expect a focused conversation about your symptoms, your history, and your current coping strategies. The goal isn’t to “pass a test” or to rush out a letter—it’s to make sure the recommendation is appropriate, ethical, and genuinely helpful. If an ESA makes sense for you, the evaluation can also clarify how the animal supports your functioning and what steps you may need to take next.
