Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions and pass no criticisms.

Pet Therapy and Emotional Support Animals

Do you feel that your pet alleviates symptoms of your depression or anxiety? Are you wondering if your pet could qualify as an Emotional Support Animal?

An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal that provides therapeutic benefit to their owner. Feel free to discuss this with me and (upon request) I can write a letter to certify your dog or cat as an ESA. Your best friend must meet certain guidelines.

My therapy dogs may be present, one at a time, in order to support clients who may be anxious or tense during therapy sessions during non-COVID times. Presently they are “sheltering in place.”
