Meet by phone or secure video with a mental health professional licensed in New Jersey. If an emotional support animal or psychiatric service dog is right for you, they issue proper documentation that holds up for housing.
Living with anxiety, depression, or another condition your animal helps you manage? In New Jersey, a properly issued ESA letter is what makes that support legally recognized at home. From Newark and Jersey City to dense commuter towns near New York and Philadelphia, New Jersey renters often face firm apartment pet restrictions.
Three steps, no surprises: a free pre-screening, a private phone or video visit with a New Jersey-licensed mental health professional, and — only if you’re approved — a signed letter with their New Jersey license details, usually in hand within 10–15 minutes.
Wherever you’re in New Jersey — Newark, Trenton, or far from either — the visit comes to you over telehealth. The evaluation is never skipped, because a letter without one is the kind landlords toss.
Our New Jersey-licensed mental health professionals serve renters across the state — from the capital, Trenton, to its largest city, Newark, plus Newark, Jersey City, Trenton and Atlantic City and every community in between. Whether you’re signing a new lease, renewing an existing one, or moving into student housing, a current letter keeps your housing protections in place.
In New Jersey, eligibility comes down to a licensed mental health professional’s judgment after a real evaluation — not a checklist. Conditions a New Jersey-licensed professional may assess include:
Persistent nervousness, racing thoughts, or panic episodes that disrupt concentration and rest.
Ongoing sadness, fatigue, or trouble keeping up with everyday tasks and self-care.
Trauma-related symptoms where the steady presence of an animal supports a sense of safety and grounding.
Insomnia, stress-related symptoms, or adjustment difficulties following a major life change.
Fear of crowds, social settings, or specific situations that make leaving home difficult.
Other clinically recognized mental health conditions, as determined by the evaluating professional.
No hidden fees · HIPAA secure · Pay only if approved.
During your visit, a New Jersey-licensed mental health professional considers factors like these. They don’t guarantee eligibility — the clinical judgment does.

Provide comfort and companionship and help ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. No special training is required. Protected for housing under the Fair Housing Act with a valid letter from a licensed provider — no public-access or air-travel rights.
Individually trained to perform specific tasks for a psychiatric disability — such as grounding during a panic episode or interrupting harmful patterns. Covered under the ADA with full public access. A PSD letter documents the disability, but training, not paperwork, is what defines a service dog.
