Need official documentation for an emotional support animal? We provide legitimate, clinician-issued ESA letters for patients in Texas who meet the clinical criteria. Your evaluation is conducted by a licensed psychiatric provider through a secure online appointment — no gimmicks, no fake registries, and no automated forms.
When ESA Documentation May Be Appropriate
What an ESA Letter Is
An ESA letter is a document written by a licensed mental health provider stating that your animal offers therapeutic benefit for a mental health condition, and it may support housing or travel-related needs when clinically appropriate.
Online Evaluations
ESA evaluations are available through private online appointments for patients in Austin, San Antonio, New Braunfels, San Marcos, and across Texas.
Who May Qualify
You may qualify if ongoing emotional or psychological symptoms significantly impact daily life — such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other qualifying concerns. Letters are issued only when clinically appropriate.
A Legitimate Provider
Unlike websites offering instant ESA letters, Adoration provides real psychiatric care from a licensed, credentialed clinician, with clinician-signed documentation only when it meets professional standards.
How Your ESA Evaluation Works
ESA evaluations are typically 45–60 minutes and take place online in a private appointment with Dr. Kelly Richardson, DNP, PMHNP-BC. You’ll review current symptoms, history, and emotional support needs — there’s no quick letter or template; documentation is clinician-signed only when it meets professional standards.
Before Your Appointment
As you schedule, we help make sure an ESA evaluation fits your needs and answer questions about the process.
Your Clinical Review
Your appointment includes a review of current symptoms, history, and emotional support needs with a licensed psychiatric provider.
Clinical Determination
Dr. Kelly Richardson determines whether an ESA is appropriate as part of your care. We do not guarantee letters in advance.
If Approved
If approved, you’ll receive an official ESA letter in PDF format, suitable for landlords or airlines.
Good to Know
Housing, Travel, and Timing
Housing
We issue ESA letters that meet the legal requirements under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) for reasonable housing accommodations. This allows you to request to live with your emotional support animal, even in housing that typically restricts pets.
Air Travel
For air travel, ESA letters may be used with certain carriers that still allow emotional support animals. However, many airlines now require animals to qualify as service animals under ADA guidelines. We’ll explain what’s currently valid, what’s not, and how to travel responsibly with your ESA documentation.
Timing
We make it easy to schedule your ESA evaluation, meet with a licensed provider, and — if appropriate — receive your official letter within 24–48 hours after your appointment.
