Real evaluations, not rubber stamps: a mental health professional licensed in Maryland reviews your needs and issues housing-grade documentation only when it’s clinically right.
No-pet lease, breed limits, pet rent — a valid ESA letter sets all of it aside for Maryland renters. From Baltimore rowhomes to the dense D.C.-suburb corridor in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, Maryland renters often face firm pet rules. That’s why getting the documentation right matters.
We pair you with an independent mental health professional licensed in Maryland for a genuine evaluation. There’s no charge unless you’re approved, and an approved letter, carrying the provider’s Maryland license details, is usually delivered within 10–15 minutes.
Telehealth means no waiting room and no commute — just a private conversation with a Maryland-licensed professional. The evaluation is genuine, which is the whole point; quiz-only “instant” letters are the kind Maryland landlords and several state laws treat as invalid.
Our Maryland-licensed mental health professionals serve renters across the state — from the capital, Annapolis, to its largest city, Baltimore, plus Baltimore, Columbia, Annapolis and Rockville 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.
There’s no fixed list that guarantees approval in Maryland — a licensed professional weighs how a condition affects your daily life. Commonly assessed conditions include:
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.
Trouble sleeping, chronic stress, or struggling to adjust after a move, loss, or transition.
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.

Before deciding, it helps to know how an ESA and a psychiatric service dog differ under the law in Maryland.
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.
