Emotional Support Animal Evaluations

Many online services offer instant approvals that don’t meet legal standards, leading to denied housing requests.

​

In Maryland, therapists must meet with clients 2–4 times and use multiple assessment tools to properly evaluate mental health.

 

A licensed therapist ensures your ESA letter is legally sound and valid. Don’t risk scams, get a professional assessment you can trust.

Upon request, I provide quality referrals to certified trainers specializing in positive reinforcement for cats and dogs.

 

This supports animal safety and ensures client compliance with Maryland’s pet care laws, whether requested by you or your landlord.

 

If you need additional counseling services or referrals to other licensed therapists, I’m happy to help you.

 

My 3-step ESA evaluation process ensures a thorough and legally sound assessment:

​

• Visit 1 & 2 (60 min each): $150 per session (standard therapy rate)

• ​

• Visit 3 (30 min final observation & ESA letter, if approved): $50

​

Total cost: $350, less than many ESA programs and even some Maryland rental pet deposits. Get a professional, ethical evaluation without overpaying.

Virtual therapy offers convenience, comfort, and flexibility, allowing you to receive professional support from home.

 

This is especially beneficial for clients who need to be near their emotional support animals during sessions.

 

Online therapy eliminates travel stress and makes prioritizing your mental health easier than ever.

Who doesn't appreciate a good discount?

 

Earn $15 off your annual ESA renewal for each friend you refer who completes their 1st evaluation visit.

 

You can, potentially, earn up to $30 off your annual renewal, per year.

 

Any extra referrals roll over to your next renewal period. Help others find an ethical program and save on your renewal process too!

Only the first session payment ($150) is due upfront for the initial diagnostic interview.

 

If you don’t meet ESA criteria in the first visit, you won’t be responsible for the remaining $200.

 

If approved to continue, the balance is due before the second visit. This ensures a fair, ethical, and flexible evaluation process.
