What is CertaPet?
CertaPet is a completely online telehealth service that provides access to a licensed mental health professional for those needing an ESA letter. CertaPet specializes in the U.S. and Canada, striving to improve quality of life for individuals coping with mental health conditions. By facilitating the process of obtaining ESA letters through a fast, simple and secure process, CertaPet ensures that patients swiftly receive their 100% legal and confidential ESA letter.
How does CertaPet work?
CertaPet’s simple three-step process ensures that the patient swiftly and securely obtains their ESA letter(s). The steps are as follows:
- Complete a short, confidential pre-screening application online. This questionnaire presents easy, multiple-choice questions to assist in matching you with the appropriate LMHP for your condition. It typically takes about five minutes.
- Consult with an LMHP. Once the pre-screening is accepted, the platform matches you with an LMHP based on your answers. Before consulting with the LMHP, you must pay the associated fees. Then you participate in a 15-minute online consultation with your assigned LMHP to discuss your needs and determine if you qualify for an ESA letter. If you’re approved, the LMHP will write the requested letter(s) immediately.
- Obtain your ESA letter. Electronic letters, if approved, are available as a digital download on the platform as soon as you finish the consultation. Hard copy requests are delivered by mail within two to three business days.
CertaPet makes renewals easy by allowing you to sign up for automatic renewal at the time of payment. It also offers help with additional forms required by your travel or housing authority for an additional fee.
