What is an ESA?

Support for Your Mental Health — With Your Animal by Your Side

An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal designated to provide therapeutic benefits to individuals experiencing mental or emotional health challenges. Unlike service animals, ESAs are not trained to perform specific tasks. Their primary purpose is to offer comfort, companionship, and emotional support.

ESA Evaluation

ESA Packages

ESA evaluations are private pay, HIPAA-protected, and valid for adults in Texas or Missouri. Housing approval is subject to landlord policies. Payment is required before your evaluation.

Basic ESA Letter — $150

  • Professional ESA evaluation and consultation (30–50 min)
  • ESA letter issued for housing or travel
  • Valid for one year
  • Clear, concise, and ready-to-use

Comprehensive ESA Package — $200

  • Professional ESA evaluation and consultation (30–50 min)
  • ESA letter issued for housing and/or travel
  • Extra guidance and support for using your ESA letter with landlords or housing authorities
  • Optional follow-up session for questions or clarification

Renewal ESA Letter — $100

  • Brief consultation to assess ongoing need
  • Updated ESA letter issued for another year

Key Difference: Both Basic and Comprehensive packages are thorough and professionally issued. The Comprehensive package provides additional guidance and follow-up support for clients who want extra confidence navigating the process. The Renewal option is for those who already have a letter and simply need it updated.

ESA letters are issued based on a professional clinical evaluation. Approval for housing is subject to landlord policies.

Payment is required prior to service delivery. Cancellations require at least 24 hours’ notice.
