Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Letters

Support you can count on — from our team and your companion.

(ESA letters are available for Florida residents after three sessions with one of our licensed therapists.)

How Do I Qualify for an ESA Letter?

Emotional Support Animals can provide comfort and stability for those experiencing emotional or mental health challenges. At Total Health Guidance, we follow a clinically responsible process to ensure you qualify for an ESA letter under Florida law.

According to the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, landlords and property managers must make reasonable accommodations for tenants with an ESA letter issued by a licensed mental health professional.

Our Process

  • 1.Schedule your first session: Call us at 321-332-6984 to begin.
  • 2.Complete at least three sessions: This is required so your therapist can make a clinically informed decision and ensure continuity of care.
  • 3.Letter issued after session #3: If appropriate, a licensed provider will issue the ESA letter confirming that you meet the requirements, without disclosing your specific diagnosis.

Requirements

To qualify, you must:

  • Be under the ongoing care of a mental health professional
  • Have a documented mental health condition (e.g., anxiety, depression) that substantially limits major life activities
  • Participate in at least three sessions with us before a letter can be issued
