Speak privately with a Florida-licensed mental health professional who reviews your situation and, when an emotional support animal is genuinely warranted, provides a Fair Housing Act–compliant letter your landlord will recognize.
Living with anxiety, depression, or another condition your animal helps you manage? In Florida, a properly issued ESA letter is what makes that support legally recognized at home. Across Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville, Florida’s large rental communities and HOAs frequently enforce pet rules, and the state has its own ESA documentation standards under SB 1084.
Three steps, no surprises: a free pre-screening, a private phone or video visit with a Florida-licensed mental health professional, and — only if you’re approved — a signed letter with their Florida license details, usually in hand within 10–15 minutes.
Because the visit is conducted over telehealth, you can complete everything from home, on your own schedule, anywhere in Florida. What doesn’t change is the substance: a real licensed mental health professional conducts a real evaluation. We don’t sell instant letters from a quiz — those are exactly what landlords reject.
Our Florida-licensed mental health professionals serve renters across the state — from the capital, Tallahassee, to its largest city, Jacksonville, plus Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville and every community in between. Whether you’re signing a new lease, renewing an existing one, or moving into student housing, a current letter keeps your housing protections in place.
There’s no fixed list that guarantees approval in Florida — a licensed professional weighs how a condition affects your daily life. Commonly assessed conditions include:
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, or chronic worry that interferes with focus, sleep, or daily routines.
Ongoing sadness, fatigue, or trouble keeping up with everyday tasks and self-care.
Hypervigilance, flashbacks, or distress where a calm companion helps you feel grounded and secure.
Trouble sleeping, chronic stress, or struggling to adjust after a move, loss, or transition.
Fear of crowds, social settings, or specific situations that make leaving home difficult.
Other diagnosable conditions affecting attention, mood, or emotional regulation, as assessed clinically.

During your visit, a Florida-licensed mental health professional considers factors like these. They don’t guarantee eligibility — the clinical judgment does.
Florida (SB 1084) requires that ESA documentation come from a provider with personal knowledge of your condition and penalizes false information.

Understanding the law makes it easier to stand up for your rights. Here’s how the Fair Housing Act and Florida rules work together.
A little awareness saves money and prevents housing problems. Here’s how to tell legitimate Florida requirements from misleading claims.
One is protected at home; the other goes nearly everywhere. Here’s how Florida law treats ESAs and psychiatric service dogs differently.
Provide comfort and companionship and help ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. No special training is required. Protected for housing under the Fair Housing Act with a valid letter from a licensed provider — no public-access or air-travel rights.
Individually trained to perform specific tasks for a psychiatric disability — such as grounding during a panic episode or interrupting harmful patterns. Covered under the ADA with full public access. A PSD letter documents the disability, but training, not paperwork, is what defines a service dog.
