Speak privately with a Massachusetts-licensed mental health professional who reviews your situation and, when an emotional support animal is genuinely warranted, provides a Fair Housing Act–compliant letter your landlord will recognize.
If your pet helps you cope with a mental or emotional health condition, an emotional support animal letter protects your right to live with that animal in Massachusetts — even in housing with a strict no-pet policy. Greater Boston and Cambridge have some of the nation’s most competitive, expensive rentals, where landlords commonly restrict pets in tightly held units.
We pair you with an independent mental health professional licensed in Massachusetts for a genuine evaluation. There is no charge unless you are approved, and an approved letter, carrying the provider’s Massachusetts license details, is usually delivered within 10–15 minutes.
Because the visit is conducted over telehealth, you can complete everything from home, on your own schedule, anywhere in Massachusetts. What does not change is the substance: a real licensed mental health professional conducts a real evaluation. We do not sell instant letters from a quiz — those are exactly what landlords reject.
Our Massachusetts-licensed mental health professionals serve renters across the state — from the capital, Boston, to its largest city, Boston, plus Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Cambridge and every community in between. Whether you are signing a new lease, renewing an existing one, or moving into student housing, a current letter keeps your housing protections in place.
Qualifying in Massachusetts means a licensed professional determines an emotional support animal genuinely helps with a condition such as:
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, or chronic worry that interferes with focus, sleep, or daily routines.
Persistent low mood, loss of motivation, or difficulty managing day-to-day responsibilities.
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.
Social anxiety or specific phobias that make unfamiliar or crowded environments overwhelming.
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 Massachusetts-licensed mental health professional considers factors like these. They do not guarantee eligibility — the clinical judgment does.
The Fair Housing Act is federal, so your Massachusetts landlord must reasonably accommodate a valid emotional support animal. Your letter must be written by a mental health professional licensed in Massachusetts — which is exactly who we match you with.
