Emotional Support Animal Evaluation at The Terra Wellness

At The Terra Wellness, we provide licensed mental health evaluations that help eligible individuals obtain a valid Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Letter.

An ESA letter is an official document issued by a licensed mental health professional confirming that an emotional support animal is part of your mental health care. This documentation helps protect your housing rights under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and supports your emotional well-being.

Our compassionate, confidential, and HIPAA-compliant assessments are available both in person and via secure telehealth, making the process accessible and professional.

What Is an ESA Letter and Why Is It Important?

An ESA letter is a formal recommendation written by a licensed mental health provider stating that an individual benefits from the presence of an emotional support animal as part of their mental health care plan.

This letter:

  • Confirms your eligibility for an emotional support animal

  • Supports your housing rights under federal law

  • Serves as official documentation for landlords and housing providers

  • Protects you from unlawful housing discrimination

Unlike online “instant letters,” a legitimate ESA letter requires a proper clinical evaluation.

Key Information About ESA Letters

  • ESA letters must be issued by licensed mental health professionals

  • Evaluations must meet federal and state guidelines

  • Documentation must be clinically justified

  • Letters provide legal housing protections under the FHA

At The Terra Wellness, every ESA letter is issued following ethical, medical, and legal standards.

Benefits of Having a Valid ESA Letter

With a legitimate ESA letter, you may receive:
