How Dr. Approaches Every Evaluation
Every ESA evaluation I conduct is a genuine clinical assessment. I begin with a thorough review of the patient's mental health history and current symptoms, drawing on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and prolonged exposure therapy. I determine whether a patient has a qualifying DSM-5 condition and whether an emotional support animal is clinically appropriate as part of their treatment plan. I issue a letter only when the clinical evidence supports it.
