An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) can provide vital comfort, stability, and connection for individuals living with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. If your therapist or provider believes an ESA is right for you, we can guide you through the process and provide a valid ESA letter to support your needs with care and integrity.
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal such as a dog or cat that provides therapeutic benefit through emotional support. ESAs are not trained service animals, but they can offer comfort and stability for individuals dealing with mental health challenges.
An ESA may help:
Reduce anxiety and feelings of loneliness
Provide structure and routine
Improve mood and emotional resilience
Offer unconditional companionship
Support recovery from trauma or PTSD
Ease symptoms of depression
Many people experience real improvement in their mental well-being through the presence of a beloved companion animal.
An ESA letter is a legal document, written by a licensed mental health professional, that verifies your need for an emotional support animal due to a qualifying mental health condition.
With a valid ESA letter, you may gain:
Housing rights: Live with your ESA in housing that typically prohibits pets, under the Fair Housing Act.
Protection against pet fees or deposits: In most cases, landlords cannot charge pet fees for an ESA.
Travel benefits: Some airlines may offer accommodations for ESAs under certain policies (note: airline policies vary check before travel).
Our licensed providers take this process seriously. We provide ESA letters only when clinically appropriate and after a thorough evaluation of your mental health needs.
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) can provide comfort and companionship to individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health challenges. With a valid ESA letter from a licensed provider, you may be eligible for housing accommodations under the Fair Housing Act and certain travel considerations.
At The Perfect Prescription, we make the process simple. For just $100 per animal, you’ll receive a personalized assessment and a letter from a licensed mental health provider if eligible.

KBThis practice (and especially the provider I see, Lorraine) is awesome. They are always kind, helpful, and friendly, and I've never had to wait more than a minute or two to get connected to my appointment. Lorraine is very nice, has excellent bedside manner, and is very competent in the medical field. She also goes above and beyond for her patients: I was having issues with my pharmacy last month, and before I even told her about it or asked her to call them, she had already called to find out what needed to be done to resolve it. I would recommend The Perfect Prescription medical practice and especially Lorraine to anyone who is looking for a new provider!

Maxine is simply the best in the business, hands down. She is caring and supportive and listens very well. She makes sure to adress all of your concerns while not over medicating you like some doctors do. She would be a perfect fit for someone's first experience with mental health, I wish she had been mine.
