About Raymond
Dr. Small's professional experience includes psychological assessments with individuals with developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, adjudicated youth, and child welfare populations.

No guaranteed approval
An ESA letter is not guaranteed simply because you complete the evaluation.
Your information stays private
Your clinical information is handled according to applicable privacy requirements.
Frequently asked questions
View all FAQs →Is Dr. Small licensed to practice in my state?
Dr. Small is licensed as a psychologist in Michigan and, through PSYPACT, may provide telepsychology to clients physically located in the participating states and the District of Columbia listed on this page. If your state is not on that list, he cannot conduct your evaluation.
Will Dr. Small automatically approve my ESA request?
No. Completing the intake does not produce a letter. Dr. Small reviews your information and makes his own clinical judgment, and documentation is issued only when he concludes that an emotional support animal is clinically appropriate for you.
Do I need an existing mental health diagnosis?
No. The evaluation considers your current symptoms and circumstances, whether or not you already have a diagnosis. A prior diagnosis is not required in order to be assessed.
How long does the evaluation take?
It depends on your individual case, including whether a follow-up is needed. The intake questionnaire itself takes about five minutes to complete.
Is this an online questionnaire?
No. The questionnaire is intake information, not the evaluation. A licensed psychologist reviews it and forms an independent clinical judgment before any documentation is issued.
What happens after my evaluation?
If Dr. Small determines that an emotional support animal is clinically appropriate, your documentation is provided through your secure account. If it is not appropriate, no letter is issued, and our money-back guarantee applies under our refund policy.
Can my landlord contact my clinician?
A landlord may contact the signing provider to confirm that a letter is genuine, but your diagnosis and clinical detail are never shared with your landlord.
Can I choose Dr. Small for my evaluation?
You may be matched with a clinician licensed in your state of residence. Whether Dr. Small is available to you depends on where you live.
