From Intake to Determination

Structured, telehealth-based, and grounded in mental health best practice at every stage.

Step 1 — Structured Intake

A validated symptom inventory covering presentation, history, and daily functioning — roughly 10 minutes.

Step 2 — Licensed Review

A Delaware-licensed clinician evaluates responses against DSM-5-TR-aligned criteria.

Step 3 — Telehealth Consultation

Where clinically indicated, a live video consultation is scheduled — evenings available.

Step 4 — Determination

Documentation is issued within 24–48 hours only when criteria are genuinely met.

Conditions We Clinically Evaluate

ESA documentation is appropriate when a mental health condition meaningfully impairs daily functioning and an animal provides therapeutic benefit.

Anxiety Disorders

Persistent, difficult-to-control worry most days — evaluated against DSM-5-TR criteria by a Delaware-licensed clinician.

Depressive Disorders

Persistent low mood or markedly diminished interest — evaluated against DSM-5-TR criteria by a Delaware-licensed clinician.

PTSD & Trauma-Related Conditions

Intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks — evaluated against DSM-5-TR criteria by a Delaware-licensed clinician.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges — evaluated against DSM-5-TR criteria by a Delaware-licensed clinician.

Bipolar Spectrum Disorders

Distinct periods of elevated, expansive, or irritable mood — evaluated against DSM-5-TR criteria by a Delaware-licensed clinician.

Housing Rights in Seaford

What the Fair Housing Act — and state law — actually guarantee when you hold genuine clinical documentation.

Federal Protection
The Fair Housing Act covers nearly all Seaford rental housing. Pet deposits, pet rent, and breed or weight restrictions generally do not apply to a recognized ESA.
State Framework
Delaware Residential Landlord-Tenant Code governs lease and habitability matters alongside FHA accommodation rights.
Documentation Standard
Housing providers may request reliable documentation of disability-related need. A letter from a Delaware-licensed clinician meets the HUD standard.
State Note
The Delaware Division of Human Relations enforces the state Fair Housing Act alongside federal HUD protections in all three counties.

Licensed, Verifiable, Accountable

Every evaluation is conducted or supervised by an actively licensed Delaware mental health professional — verifiable through the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation.

Active Delaware License

LPCMH, LCSW, LMFT, or licensed psychologist in good standing with the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation.

Graduate Clinical Training

Master's or doctoral-level training in assessment and diagnosis.

DSM-5-TR Standards

Determinations grounded in diagnostic criteria — never checklists alone.

HIPAA-Compliant

Records maintained per federal and state privacy standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers from our clinical team.

Is there a minimum severity to qualify?

No fixed threshold exists. A Delaware-licensed clinician evaluates whether symptoms are persistent, cause meaningful functional impairment, and whether an ESA is therapeutically appropriate for your situation. A prior diagnosis is not required.

Do Seaford landlords have to accept the letter?

The Fair Housing Act covers most Seaford rentals. A recognized ESA is not a pet — pet fees and breed limits generally cannot be applied. Narrow exemptions exist for small owner-occupied properties.

How fast is the process?

Intake takes about 10 minutes; documentation follows within 24–48 hours of a completed evaluation when criteria are met. If documentation is not clinically appropriate, you receive a full refund.

Is everything telehealth?

Yes — intake, consultation, and delivery are fully remote, available anywhere in Delaware.
