An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) provides comfort and support to individuals with mental or emotional conditions. Unlike service animals, ESAs do not require specific training and offer therapeutic benefits through companionship.
An ESA letter is a document written by a licensed mental health professional that states the necessity of an emotional support animal for your mental health treatment. This letter provides legal protections for housing and travel.
You must have a qualifying mental or emotional condition. A licensed mental health professional will evaluate your condition and determine if an emotional support animal is appropriate for you.
