Meet by phone or secure video with a mental health professional licensed in Oregon. If an emotional support animal or psychiatric service dog is right for you, they issue proper documentation that holds up for housing.
Portland’s competitive, expensive rentals and college markets like Eugene mean Oregon renters often need a valid accommodation to keep their animals. A valid emotional support animal letter, written by a Oregon-licensed professional, is what turns a no-pet lease into an approved accommodation.
Here’s how it works in Oregon: complete a free pre-screening, talk with a licensed mental health professional by phone or video, and — if approved — receive a letter on the licensed mental health professional’s letterhead bearing their Oregon license number, generally within 10–15 minutes.
There’s no office visit anywhere in Oregon — the entire evaluation happens by phone or secure video. What you get is the opposite of an instant certificate: a real professional making a real clinical decision, which is exactly what makes the letter stick.
Our Oregon-licensed mental health professionals serve renters across the state — from the capital, Salem, to its largest city, Portland, plus Portland, Eugene, Salem and Bend and every community in between. Whether you’re signing a new lease, renewing an existing one, or moving into student housing, a current letter keeps your housing protections in place.
There’s no fixed list that guarantees approval in Oregon — a licensed professional weighs how a condition affects your daily life. Commonly assessed conditions include:
Persistent nervousness, racing thoughts, or panic episodes that disrupt concentration and rest.
Ongoing sadness, fatigue, or trouble keeping up with everyday tasks and self-care.
Hypervigilance, flashbacks, or distress where a calm companion helps you feel grounded and secure.
Insomnia, stress-related symptoms, or adjustment difficulties following a major life change.
Social anxiety or specific phobias that make unfamiliar or crowded environments overwhelming.
Other diagnosable conditions affecting attention, mood, or emotional regulation, as assessed clinically.

During your visit, a Oregon-licensed mental health professional considers factors like these. They don’t guarantee eligibility — the clinical judgment does.

Emotional support animals and psychiatric service dogs aren’t the same thing in Oregon — here’s how they differ and which may suit you.
Provide comfort and companionship and help ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. No special training is required. Protected for housing under the Fair Housing Act with a valid letter from a licensed provider — no public-access or air-travel rights.
Individually trained to perform specific tasks for a psychiatric disability — such as grounding during a panic episode or interrupting harmful patterns. Covered under the ADA with full public access. A PSD letter documents the disability, but training, not paperwork, is what defines a service dog.
Clear answers to the most common questions about emotional support animals and your housing rights in Oregon.
Begin with a free pre-screening. A licensed mental health professional takes it from there — and you’re only charged if approved.
