Obtaining an ESA letter in Indiana requires a live consultation with a mental health professional with a current Indiana license. They have the authority to decide whether you qualify for an emotional support animal and can write you a valid ESA letter.
With advances in modern technology, this process is now possible online – and easier than ever! By booking an appointment through a telehealth service such as Pettable, you can meet with a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) without even leaving your home.

* For California residents, effective January 1, 2022, new law AB 468 requires those seeking an ESA letter for dogs to establish a client-provider relationship with the individual for at least 30 days prior to providing documentation, which will result in having two consultations before qualifying.
The state of Indiana recognizes the challenges of coping with a mental health condition or emotional disability. Indiana also understands the value that emotional support animals can bring to mental health treatment plans. Because of this, the rights of individuals with emotional support animals are protected by state law. Specifically, the right of an ESA owner to live anywhere with their emotional support animal is always protected in Indiana, as long as they possess a legitimate ESA letter.
Like other U.S. states, Indiana guarantees service animals access to most public places, including stores, restaurants, recreational facilities, schools, airlines, and workplaces. Unfortunately, emotional support animals do not have this same protection.
However, some proprietors may choose to be accommodating, as long as you can provide a valid emotional support animal letter. If they still will not accept your assistance animal, you might try a pet-friendly place, instead.
It's important to keep in mind that misrepresenting an emotional support animal or misrepresenting a disability to obtain an ESA, is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 in Indiana. For this reason, it’s essential to have all the necessary documentation to prove that your assistance animal is legitimate.
When it comes to housing, the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) require landlords to make reasonable accommodations so that assistance animals – both service animals and emotional support animals – can live anywhere with their owners. As long as you can provide an ESA letter, your housing provider must let you live with your emotional support animal, regardless of their usual pet policy, pet deposit requirement, and breed or weight restrictions.
To qualify for an emotional support animal in Indiana, you must attend (either online or in person) at least one therapy session with a licensed mental health professional before your ESA letter consultation appointment. Only a LMHP can conduct the individualized assessment to determine whether you qualify for an emotional support animal.
