In Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT), animals that meet specific criteria are an important part of the treatment process. AAT is delivered by a licensed professional and is designed to promote improvement in social, emotional, and cognitive functioning. Some benefits include:
At AACC we realize the importance and the benefits of animal companionship and that is the reason we are offering ESA evaluations for people already engaged in counseling or mental health support elsewhere. AACC believes in the power of the human animal bond and recognizes the fact that affordable housing in Denver is challenging to find. Due to this, we want to help pets stay with their human families in housing that is affordable without having to worry about a “pet deposit” or “pet rent.” An ESA letter must be written by a licensed mental health clinician in order to address the human's mental health needs. AACC will partner with your current therapist to acquire the needed information which will include; a DSM V diagnosis, your current treatment goals, and why you would benefit from any ESA evaluation and letter. We would then meet with you in person or virtually to review your individual needs and go over some suggested interactions with your animal in order for them to help improve your mental health functioning. AACC is able to write letters for “common household pets” such as cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rats, etc. AACC is also aware of what is required in the letter per the “Fair Housing Act.” ESA’s are no longer allowed on planes or in public spaces so this only applies to housing. You will receive a personalized ESA letter on AACC’s letterhead that can be shown to landlords or housing managers. This service is $150 and needs to be paid prior to receiving the letter through either Venmo or PayPal.
Some benefits of an ESA may include:
