Your online ESA or PSD evaluation in three steps

Begin without paying for the screening. You can review the available plans before continuing to a paid clinical evaluation; approval depends on the assessment.

  1. 01

    Explain your needs in screening

    Enter your Colorado location, current experiences and each animal’s details so the clinical request reflects your circumstances.

  2. 02

    Meet the clinical review requirements

    A Colorado-licensed clinician considers your information and requests clarification or further assessment when needed.

  3. 03

    Receive the approved letter by email

    If the clinician approves documentation, the issued letter is delivered by email for you to retain and use for its stated purpose.

ESA housing letters and PSD evaluations in Colorado

Choose an evaluation for emotional support at home or for a dog trained to assist with a psychiatric disability. Each service begins with your own circumstances.

Comfort and companionship

ESA housing documentation

An emotional support animal may help alleviate an effect of a disability through its presence. Explain the connection between that support and your ability to use and enjoy your home.

Check the ESA letter requirements

Choose according to the support involved. A housing request and entry to a public business use different standards, even when they involve the same animal.

An ESA evaluation centered on you and your animal

Your experience matters more than a checklist of diagnoses. During the assessment, explain how symptoms affect everyday activities and the support your animal provides at home.

For one animal
Identify the support that this particular companion provides, including what happens during a harder day.
For several animals
Explain each animal’s contribution separately. A multi-animal request needs enough information to assess the individual roles.
Prepare your own assessment notes

Colorado-licensed clinicians. Individual decisions.

A clinical letter should identify the clinician responsible for its findings. Check that person’s Colorado credential and ask the clinical service about any part of the assessment or issued record you do not understand.

Colorado DORA’s license lookup lets you search the professional’s name and credential. A business logo, online registry number or optional card cannot replace that verification.

Understand your Colorado ESA housing options

Renting with an emotional support animal starts with a housing accommodation request. Use our Colorado guides to understand documentation, pet fees and conversations with your landlord.

Colorado’s HB26-1045 includes emotional support animals in its housing protections and establishes an accommodation presumption when the provider has an opportunity to engage in the interactive process. Documentation can be relevant when the disability-related need is not apparent.

Colorado law and federal enforcement policy require separate attention. Read the current housing guide before relying on older nationwide claims about ESA approval or pet charges.

Our Services in Colorado Cities and Counties

Telehealth service is offered across all Colorado counties; access depends on current clinician and service availability; selecting a city does not guarantee acceptance.

Letter, certificate or ID card: understand your options

Start with the clinical service you need. Optional certificates and ID cards are available in selected bundles; they do not replace an evaluation or establish access rights.

Clinical letter

Records the evaluating professional’s findings when the clinical evidence supports the request. It does not supply service-dog training.

Certificate or ID card

An optional product in a selected bundle does not create public-access rights or replace documentation that a recipient may lawfully request.

Airline requirements

Check the carrier’s current service-dog process and required forms. An ESA housing letter is not an airline service-animal approval.

Questions Colorado residents ask before starting

These answers separate pet-screening portals, clinical evaluation and housing decisions. For a narrower question, use the ESA and PSD question guide.

Is ESA screening the same as my apartment’s pet-screening portal?

No. Clinical screening collects information for a clinician’s assessment. A property’s animal portal is an administrative process run by that property or its vendor. Ask the housing provider where to submit an assistance-animal accommodation request.

Does living in Colorado automatically qualify my pet as an ESA?

Residence is not the clinical test. The assessment considers a disability-related need and the support the animal provides. Explain those facts honestly; the clinician may determine that a letter is not supported.

Does paying for an ESA evaluation cancel my pet rent immediately?

A purchase does not change the lease ledger. Submit the accommodation request, identify the charges at issue and ask the housing provider for a written decision. Colorado assistance-animal protections and the facts of the housing arrangement matter.

Can an ESA request involve cats or more than one companion?

A request can concern animals other than dogs and may involve multiple animals. Identify each animal and the disability-related support it provides so the actual request can be evaluated rather than assuming every household pet is included.

Will buying the PSD bundle make an untrained dog a service dog?

No package teaches a dog disability-related tasks. A clinical evaluation and the dog’s trained behavior are separate requirements. Review the public-access or travel rules that apply to your intended setting before making plans.

Should a returning ASA customer begin a second account on CSA?

Use the existing ASA customer credentials when signing in through CSA. If you cannot locate a case, contact support with the case reference and account email instead of opening a duplicate account or repeating a payment.
