ESA Assessment & Letter Templates for Private Practice Therapists

Helping clients obtain an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating legal and ethical considerations. This template pack provides private practice clinicians with ready-to-use ESA assessment and letter templates to streamline documentation while ensuring compliance with professional standards.

What’s Included:

✅ ESA Assessment Template – A structured guide to evaluating a client’s need for an ESA.
✅ ESA Letter Template – A professionally worded letter that therapists can customize for clients.
✅ NC Regulations Example – A reference guide based on North Carolina’s laws (therapists must verify their own state’s requirements).

Who Is This For?

✔️ Licensed therapists and counselors in private practice
✔️ Clinicians new to ESA documentation who want to ensure thorough assessments
✔️ Those looking for a legally informed starting point while tailoring documents to their practice

Important Disclaimer:

These templates provide a framework for clinicians but do not guarantee ESA approval by landlords, housing authorities, or other entities. Every state has different laws, and therapists must conduct their own research to ensure compliance with their jurisdiction’s regulations.
