Verify the license

Behavioral health licenses in Texas are issued and disciplined through the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council, which covers psychologists, licensed professional counselors, licensed clinical social workers and licensed marriage and family therapists. Its public search will show you whether a license is active and whether there has been disciplinary action.

We publish the license number because you shouldn’t have to take our word for anything. If a provider anywhere won’t give you a name and a license number before you pay, that’s the answer to your question.

What “licensed in 30+ states” means

Licensure is state by state, and what matters for your evaluation is the Texas license and where you are physically sitting during the appointment. A therapist licensed in many states can see clients in each of those states under that state’s rules; it doesn’t create a national license, and it doesn’t change the Texas rules that govern your appointment. See our telehealth consent page.

Clinical independence

Every clinical decision is made independently. Our therapist isn’t paid more for supporting a request than for declining one, no coordinator can overrule a clinical decision, and nobody at this company reviews or edits the substance of a letter. If those arrangements were different, the letters would be worth less, and a landlord’s attorney would eventually notice.

Scope of practice

Our therapist evaluates whether a condition and an animal meet the standard for a housing accommodation, and writes letters when they do, along with psychiatric service dog evaluations. They aren’t your ongoing treating provider, they don’t prescribe medication through this service, and they don’t provide crisis care. If you need ongoing treatment, ask and we’ll point you toward it. If you’re in crisis, call or text 988.
