Here at ESA Direct, we recognize the comfort provided by both dogs and cats.

No. The letter must come from a medical or mental health professional who has conducted a thorough ESA evaluation
AT ESA Direct we take great pride in providing ONLY legitimate letters. A fake ESA letter provider will typically ask very few questions during the evaluation/intake process, will not provide consultation with a licensed professional, and typically advertise fees well below $100. Some websites will claim to legitimize the ESA document by registering the animal. This is not a legally necessary process and does not make the letter more legitimate.
You will speak with, a licensed mental health professional and go through a series of evaluative questions. You will be asked to upload two forms of identification to verify your name.
An animal can bring about emotional support that cannot always be derived from another person. As an experienced mental health professional, I believe that an ESA can bring about relaxation, calmness, and an overall improved mood. I believe in your right to take your dog/cat anywhere/everywhere you need to go. Now, never again be told you can't have your dog/cat with you wherever you go! No more hassle or silly questions to prove your dog/cat is a necessity and must be by your side.
