Emotional Support Animal Consultations
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is defined as an animal companion (typically dogs, but not in all cases) that offer benefits to someone living with a disability, physical illness, or mental health disorder. The presence of the animal in the client’s life is intended to alleviate at least one aspect of their distress and provide companionship. ESA’s are not simply pets.
ESA evaluations are most typically utilized by college students for on-campus housing, but they can also be utilized by individuals to secure emotional support animals in housing that allows such animals. Evaluations cannot be used to justify animals going into public spaces or flights as documented “service animals”, as ESA’s are not the same as service animal evaluations.
