ESA housing letters usually need to come from a licensed mental health professional after a proper evaluation. If you already have a therapist, you can ask them if they’re able to provide one.
If not, some services connect people with licensed providers who can evaluate whether an ESA letter is appropriate. For example, My ESA Therapist offers evaluations with licensed clinicians who determine eligibility based on your situation. The key is making sure the letter comes from a legitimate professional assessment, since that’s what housing providers typically require.
