Great service for those with a legitimate need.
I have been diagnosed with anxiety/PTSD and recently moved to a new area and no longer live in a private home. The new apartment allows dogs and approved my dog, but I still wanted to be sure that everybody knows he is there to provide assistance to me. I pay my pet renters fee and paid a pet deposit, and went through all of the necessary steps to have my dog approved.. so for those who believe that this is only for people who want to save money or find a way around the rules - you are wrong. These animals provide a very necessary service to many people. I filled out an in depth questionnaire and then spent a good deal of time on the phone with my therapist who laid out a detailed treatment plan for me and even helped me to find a therapist in my new town. The questions were in depth and I have no doubt that if no need was determined, I would have been refused. For those with a need for an emotional support animal, this is an amazing service. This may not be as simple as the sites that provide you with a bogus registration or ID card that is meaningless - but that is because you are "meeting" with an actual mental health professional who takes their time to assess you. The process took only a few days and cost much less than my prior therapist would have charged to provide the same letter.
