Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Evaluation

Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Evaluations

At Fortified Souls, we understand the profound impact that emotional support animals (ESAs) can have on mental well-being. Our dedicated team of licensed mental health professionals is here to assist you in navigating the process of obtaining an emotional support animal letter.

Emotional support animals provide comfort and companionship to individuals facing emotional or psychological challenges. Unlike service animals, ESAs do not require specialized training to perform specific tasks. Instead, their primary role is to offer emotional support — helping to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions.

Our office offers a comprehensive evaluation process to determine if you qualify for an emotional support animal letter. This includes:

  • Personalized Assessment: We conduct a thorough assessment of your mental health history and current challenges to understand your needs.
  • Professional Guidance: Our licensed therapist will provide insights and recommendations tailored to your situation, ensuring you feel supported throughout the process.
  • Official ESA Letter: If deemed appropriate, we will issue a formal emotional support animal letter, which can be used to inform landlords, housing authorities, and airlines of your need for an ESA.

Why Choose Us?

 

  • Experienced Professionals: Our licensed therapist has specialized experience in mental health and support animal services.
  • Compassionate Care: We prioritize your well-being, providing a safe and supportive environment for your evaluation.
  • Confidential Services: We respect your privacy and ensure that all assessments and communications are handled with the utmost confidentiality.
 

At Fortified Souls, we are committed to helping you find the support you need for a happier, healthier life with your emotional support animal. If you believe that an emotional support animal could enhance your quality of life, we invite you to reach out to us.
