Who We Serve in Marietta

Marietta's renters, professionals, students, and families all use the same licensed, telehealth-first evaluation pathway.

Wellstar Kennestone & Workforce

Professionals connected to Wellstar Kennestone and Lockheed Martin manage demanding schedules; telehealth evaluation fits evening and weekend availability.

Renters Across Cobb County

With square-adjacent apartments and Cobb County family rentals, Fair Housing Act protections matter — ESA documentation supports reasonable accommodation requests with any housing provider.

Long-Term Marietta Residents

Established residents managing chronic anxiety, depression, or trauma presentations use clinically grounded documentation to stabilize their housing situation.

A Four-Stage Clinical Process

Each stage exists for one reason: a determination that stands up to scrutiny.

Step 1 — Structured Intake

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

Step 2 — Licensed Review

A Georgia-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 Georgia-licensed clinician.

Depressive Disorders

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

PTSD & Trauma-Related Conditions

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

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

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

Bipolar Spectrum Disorders

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

Housing Rights in Marietta

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 Marietta rental housing. Pet deposits, pet rent, and breed or weight restrictions generally do not apply to a recognized ESA.

State Framework

Georgia landlord-tenant code (O.C.G.A. Title 44, Ch. 7) 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 Georgia-licensed clinician meets the HUD standard.

State Note

Georgia HB 561 (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-22) addresses ESA documentation misrepresentation — genuine clinician evaluation protects both tenant and provider.

Who Conducts Your Evaluation

Every evaluation is conducted or supervised by an actively licensed Georgia mental health professional — verifiable through the Georgia Composite Board of PC, SW and MFT.

Active Georgia License

LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or licensed psychologist in good standing with the Georgia Composite Board of PC, SW and MFT.

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?

Do Marietta landlords have to accept the letter?

How fast is the process?

Is everything telehealth?

No fixed threshold exists. A Georgia-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.

The Fair Housing Act covers most Marietta 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.

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.

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