ESA Letter
Emotional Support Animal Prescription
The Benefits you Get with an Emotional Support Animal Letter.
Emotional support animals have certain rights that regular pets don’t have.
A properly prescribed emotional support animal letter can ensure that your pet can fly with you on an airplane at no additional cost. In addition, the letter allows your pet to live in a housing facility that generally doesn’t allow pets. You’ll also be free from paying any pet deposits for housing or monthly pet fees. Although ESAs don’t require any special training, they need to behave well, be calm and responsive to the owner’s commands.
Why You Need a Mental Health Professional to ‘Prescribe’ an ESA?
“A letter for emotional support animal,
An ESA Letter, must be written by a licensed mental health professional.”
The rules are very clear when it comes to this question. In order to get a valid emotional support animal letter, it needs to come from a licensed mental health professional. This may include psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, psychiatric nurses, licensed professional counselors, and other licensed therapists.
Red Flags for Fake ESA Letters
- Low Cost Letters – A legitimate ESA letter is written by a licensed mental health professional. These therapists and doctors value their time and level of education. If you find a cheap alternative, your letter may not be from a licensed therapist that can assist you.
- ESA Registration Services – Emotional support animals are not required to be registered. There is no governing body that registers emotional support animals. Airlines and landlords will DENY your “registered ESA” if you do not have a legitimate ESA letter.
- Instant Approval – A licensed therapist must evaluate your need for an ESA. You cannot be instantly approved for an ESA letter. It takes time to approve each individual by a licensed mental health professional.
How It Really Works.

If you’re not already in therapy with us we can schedule an appointment where we will determine if there is a condition that will qualify you for an emotional support animal, and provide your letter same day.
Be Advised: These appointments can be up to two hours, and you may bring your prospective ESA but it is not required. The cost of using the Krumroy Group for your ESA Letter is up to two hours of evaluation and $499
