Meet by phone or secure video with a mental health professional licensed in Maine. If an emotional support animal or psychiatric service dog is right for you, they issue proper documentation that holds up for housing.
Portland’s tight, increasingly expensive rental market and Maine’s older housing stock mean pet policies can be a real obstacle for renters. A valid emotional support animal letter, written by a Maine-licensed professional, is what turns a no-pet lease into an approved accommodation.
From first click to finished letter, the Maine process is built to be quick and honest: free pre-screening, a genuine telehealth evaluation, and an approved letter — license details included — typically delivered within 10–15 minutes.
Because the visit is conducted over telehealth, you can complete everything from home, on your own schedule, anywhere in Maine. What doesn’t change is the substance: a real licensed mental health professional conducts a real evaluation. We don’t sell instant letters from a quiz — those are exactly what landlords reject.
Our Maine-licensed mental health professionals serve renters across the state — from the capital, Augusta, to its largest city, Portland, plus Portland, Lewiston, Bangor and Augusta and every community in between. Whether you’re signing a new lease, renewing an existing one, or moving into student housing, a current letter keeps your housing protections in place.
There’s no fixed list that guarantees approval in Maine — a licensed professional weighs how a condition affects your daily life. Commonly assessed conditions include:
Persistent nervousness, racing thoughts, or panic episodes that disrupt concentration and rest.
Persistent low mood, loss of motivation, or difficulty managing day-to-day responsibilities.
Hypervigilance, flashbacks, or distress where a calm companion helps you feel grounded and secure.
Trouble sleeping, chronic stress, or struggling to adjust after a move, loss, or transition.
Fear of crowds, social settings, or specific situations that make leaving home difficult.
Other clinically recognized mental health conditions, as determined by the evaluating professional.

They protect different things. Understanding the difference helps Maine residents choose what actually fits their needs.
Provide comfort and companionship and help ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. No special training is required. Protected for housing under the Fair Housing Act with a valid letter from a licensed provider — no public-access or air-travel rights.
