What is an ESA Letter?

An ESA letter is a document from a licensed mental health professional that states that you have a mental health condition that benefits from the presence of an emotional support animal.

The letter should be on the letterhead of the mental health professional and should include the following information:

• The date that the letter was written
• The mental health professionals license number
• The mental health professionals contact information
• The patient’s name
• The patient’s diagnosis
• How the emotional support animal helps the patient
• The date that the letter expires

You will need to provide documentation of your condition, such as a letter from a friend or family member, or a journal documenting your condition.

What should be Included in the ESA Letter?

The ESA letter should include your name, the name of your mental health professional, and the date of the letter. It should also state that you have a mental health condition that benefits from the presence of an emotional support animal.
