Why This Certification Exists
Therapists Are Writing ESA Letters Without a Framework.
ESA letter requests are among the most common — and most misunderstood — situations therapists face. Most graduate programs provide little to no training on how to conduct a proper evaluation, what to document, or how to navigate requests that feel ethically unclear.
This certification gives you a structured, ethical process grounded in HUD guidelines and clinical best practices — so you can respond to every ESA request with clarity.
No More Guessing
Know exactly what to assess, what to document, and what your letter should — and shouldn't — say.
Protect Your License
Understand the ethical and clinical standards that reduce your exposure to complaints and board inquiries.
Add a Marketable Specialty
Differentiate your practice and signal to clients that you have formal training in ESA evaluations.
Built for Real Practice
Practical, applicable content — not academic theory. Ready to use from your very next session.
