Our clinician panel
Every ESA letter issued through Support Animal is written by a state-licensed mental health professional after a clinical evaluation. Evaluations are never conducted by unlicensed staff, automated systems, or offshore contractors. Each clinician below is a member of our panel, and each is verified by the licensing body named on their profile.
Licence types on the panel
A clinician is matched to you by the state you live in, so the professional who reviews your request is licensed where you are.

Every clinician on the panel holds a current mental health licence, and each is verified against the board or authority that issued it.
A letter follows an assessment of your history and symptoms and whether an emotional support animal is clinically appropriate. It is never generated automatically.
Letters are written to meet the reasonable-accommodation standard in the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3)(B). There is no official ESA registry, and no certificate substitutes for a clinician.
The process is HIPAA compliant, and your diagnosis is never shared with your landlord. The letter confirms a disability-related need without naming a condition.
