The Basics

What is a Psychiatric Service Dog Letter?

A Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) letter is an official document from a licensed mental health professional that confirms you have a qualifying mental health condition under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This letter serves as important backup documentation for your psychiatric service dog.

Your PSD letter will include a statement that you have an ADA-eligible mental health condition, be signed and dated by a state-licensed healthcare professional, and include the provider's license details and contact information for verification purposes.

Is a PSD Letter Required?

While not legally required by the ADA for public access, a PSD letter is highly recommended as backup documentation. Many airlines, landlords, and housing providers request this documentation to verify your legitimate need for a service dog.

What conditions qualify for a PSD letter?
Common qualifying conditions include anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, panic disorder, and other mental health conditions recognized under the ADA. A licensed mental health professional will make the determination during your consultation based on your individual circumstances.
How long does it take to get my PSD letter?

What's included in the PSD letter?
Your letter will include a statement confirming you have an ADA-eligible mental health condition, the date of issue, the provider's signature, their license number, contact information, and clinic letterhead for easy verification.
Can my PSD letter help with housing and air travel?

Do I need to have a service dog already?
