Emotional Support Animals

CLINICIAN'S GUIDE TO ESA ASSESSMENTS AND RECOMMENDATION LETTERS

by Annalisa Smithson

Magic happens when a client successfully incorporates an emotional support animal (ESA) into their mental health treatment. The unconditional love of a bonded animal is a wonderful, healing experience. But when is it appropriate to write an ESA recommendation letter for your client? And how do you complete the assessment? This guide fills a critical gap for counselors, therapists, and social workers. Learn how to educate your clients on the purpose of an ESA, explore the ethical implications of doing ESA assessments, and discover the five key questions that need to be answered before writing an ESA letter. Clinicians will also explore the practical issue of structuring your time and setting fees, and see a sample ESA recommendation letter.
