Policy Regarding Animals

Emotional Assistance Animals

Letters and other documentation for emotional assistance animals are only provided in the most rare of circumstances.  As with any letter request, you must have an established treatment relationship with a therapist.  Because there is currently no established literature base for the clinical efficacy of emotional assistance animals, it is extremely rare that a Counseling Services' clinician will support their use.

Service Animals

Counseling Services complies with all ADA requirements and accepts appropriately trained and specifically designated service animals as defined in the ADA 2010.  Please work with the Disability Resource Center if you believe you are in need of a service animal.
