Emotional Support Animal Assessment

Intro

Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) can be a vital part of your mental health toolkit—but federal guidelines require a valid recommendation from a licensed clinician. MPACS’s virtual Emotional Support Animal Assessment provides the comprehensive evaluation and documentation you need, all delivered with cultural sensitivity and clinical rigor.

What We Offer

Clinical Intake Interview

A thorough discussion of your mental health history, daily challenges, and how an ESA could support your well-being.

Symptom & Functioning Assessment

Standardized measures (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7) combined with clinical observation to determine ESA appropriateness.

Documentation & Letter

A professionally authored ESA letter—meeting HUD, airline, and landlord requirements—delivered electronically.

Annual Renewal Support

Optional check-ins and updated letters to keep your ESA documentation current and compliant.
