Sorry to hear about the difficult time you’re going through. The transition to college can be really tough mentally and emotionally for many students. We help many students get accommodation for an emotional support animal. The first step would be to fill out our online questionnaire here: https://app.esadoctors.com/checkout/

After that, you will be connected with a licensed healthcare professional. They can see if you qualify for an ESA letter and work with you on your school’s specific requirements.

I am a college student 16 hours from home suffering from a variety of symptoms. I have never been to a therapist or discussed my feelings because I never felt comfortable seeking help. These symptoms are slowly overtaking my daily life and I feel an ESA would provide me the comfort and support I need. What are my first steps? My college has quite a few requirements that the letter from a professional must include. I feel so lost. I have no connections here.

In reply to Nicole Kennedy. Emotional support animals can do wonders for people with conditions like yours. Many consider them life-saving. It would be an incredible benefit for many people if they could bring their ESAs to work. Unfortunately ESAs do not have workplace rights, they are only allowed in residential buildings. Some employers however will accommodate ESAs and pets as a courtesy. We suggest speaking with your HR department to see what their policies are.

In reply to angela. I have three cats who all provide me great relief from anxiety and depression. The place I am considering moving only allows 2 pets. Can I get esa for all three?

The best place to start would be by having a discussion with your psychiatrist or therapist. You can qualify for an emotional support animal by getting an ESA letter from a licensed healthcare professional. A psychiatrist is certainly qualified to write an ESA letter. If you’re unsure about how to ask or what to say, we wrote a guide which you might find useful: https://esadoctors.com/ask-doctor-emotional-support-animal-letter/

In reply to Lynn.

You can absolutely have more than one ESA. It is actually quite common. If you have multiple emotional support animals, you’ll need to make sure your ESA letter covers each one. Many owners find that one ESA helps with one aspect of their health issue while another helps more with another aspect. You can read more about having more than one ESA at this link: https://esadoctors.com/how-many-emotional-support-animals-can-you-have/

Can you only have one esa in apartment housing? I have a letter from a psychologist and 1 esa a rescue pug but think I would benefit from a second dog. Is that allowed?
