A person should certainly not be discouraged if their doctor or therapist denies them for an ESA letter. There are many reasons they may do so even though an emotional support animal is still a good idea. We wrote an article about what to do if your therapist says no to your ESA request which you can find here: https://esadoctors.com/what-to-do-if-your-therapist-wont-write-you-an-esa-letter

We also want to note however that ESAs unfortunately no longer have travel rights in the US. An ESA letter still entitles owners to housing rights under Fair Housing rules.

I’ve tried. I’ve asked my doctors and have been denied, with statements like “I don’t really do that sort of thing” which is nice speak for I don’t agree that you need this, and therefore I will not back you up” . There’s no need for a doctors personal opinion to block your right to travel freely about the land. The law is the law. If the law says you can, then you can,
regardless of someone’s opinion of what you can and cannot do. You have the right to pursue your happiness especially if it involves freedom. No one should be able to judge or restrict your movements based on your lack of ability. Everyone is free. Everyone.
