Some Healthcare Professionals do not write ESA Letters because they are unfamiliar with Animal-Assisted Treatment and are not trained on the rules and laws governing ESAs. Some prefer not to write ESA Letters for any of their clients, and others may feel hesitant to include an animal as part of a client’s treatment plan. Some clinics and healthcare establishments may have policies against writing ESA Letters because it’s outside of their scope of practice. Don’t take it personal if your Licensed Healthcare Professional does not write you an ESA Letter. Their policy to not write an ESA Letter is not a reflection of your mental health needs. Fortunately, our Licensed Therapists at Official Pets understand the value of Animal-Assisted Intervention and the importance of prescribing an ESA, and will gladly assist you with your ESA needs.
