    Kena Lindgren was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Her doctor approved four small Pomeranian dogs as emotional support animals to live with her to help mitigate her disability symptoms by allowing her to fully enjoy her home. The doctor provided a letter explaining Kena's need for the emotional support animals to comply with housing laws and accommodate her disability. Kena may need to present the letter to her landlord and can file a housing discrimination complaint if her landlord refuses the accommodation. Kena is responsible for her animals' behavior and damage and her treatment will need ongoing reassessment.

    Dear Kena,

    As per our discussion and review of your history, I have diagnosed you with an emotional disability recognized in the Diagnostic and
    Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Specifically, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 300.02 (F41.1).

    I am also familiar with the limitations imposed by your diagnosed disability and the need to mitigate those limitations and associated
    symptoms. As such, during our most recent consultation and evaluation I approved multiple animals: specifically, a dog (5 lb(s)
    Pomeranian) and a dog (7 lb(s) Pomeranian) and a dog (5 lb(s) Pomeranian) and a dog (7 lb(s) Pomeranian) as emotional support
    animals for you. In my professional opinion, it is necessary that these animals live with you because their presence will mitigate the
    symptoms of your disability by allowing you to fully enjoy your home and the common areas associated with your home. Specifically, the
    presence of the animals will allow you to reduce negative symptoms associated with your mental illness.

    In order to comply with my prescribed treatment, you may need to take some steps that will allow you to live with your ESAs, including
    presenting some documentation to your landlord. I have written this letter to comply with the Fair Housing Act, the Americans With
    Disabilities Act, and other laws providing people with disabilities an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, so your landlord should
    not need you to disclose any additional information. Please understand that you may voluntarily disclose your personal medical/mental
    health information to whomever you choose; however, I advise you to be very judicious about the people to whom you may provide this
    letter and additional information.

    I highly recommend that you take the steps necessary to establish your rights and continue to use an emotional support animals as we
    explore and address the root causes of your diagnosis. If you feel that your emotional support animals no longer provides the necessary
    benefits or your symptoms increase, please contact me so that we may determine if this is the best path for you.

    If you do take the necessary steps to establish your rights but your landlord refuses to provide you with a reasonable accommodation,
    you have the right to make complaint with US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by filing a claim of discrimination
    through the HUD website - www.hud.gov - or calling the discrimination hotline at 1-800-669-9777. They will investigate the claim free of
    charge.

    Please understand that you are responsible for your ESAs' behavior and for any damage they may cause- please make sure they are
    well-behaved. In addition, please note that your diagnosis and treatment is ongoing and will need to be reassessed on a routine basis.

    Sincerely,

    Stacy Pierce, M.Ed, LPC, LADC

    OK LPC (5216) since 7/1/2018
