Contact Our California ESA Team
Most questions we get are answered in a five-minute phone call, and a good number of those calls end with us telling someone they do not need a letter at all.

How to Reach Us
Messages received outside business hours are answered the next working day. We reply to every message, including the ones that turn out not to need our service.
If you need help now
We are not a crisis service.
Our clinicians work by appointment and cannot respond to emergencies. If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, please use one of these instead — they are free, confidential and staffed around the clock.
- 988 — Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call or text 988 from anywhere in the United States.
- Text HOME to 741741 — Crisis Text Line, for support by message rather than voice.
- 911 — for a medical emergency or immediate danger to you or someone else.
- Your county behavioral health line — every California county operates a 24-hour access line for urgent mental health support.

Our Licensed Mental Health Professionals
Every evaluation is done by a professional licensed by a California board. You get their license type and number before you pay, so you can check it yourself on the board’s public lookup.

What Our Clients Say
I emailed at midnight expecting nothing. There was a real answer in my inbox before lunch the next day, from a person with a name.
I had one question and no intention of buying. They answered it in full anyway and told me I probably didn't need them.
No phone tree, no chatbot pretending to be a person. Just email that actually gets read.
They flagged that my building was already required to accommodate me and told me to write to the manager first. Free advice that cost them a sale.
When my landlord sent a form I didn't understand, I forwarded it and got a plain-English explanation the same afternoon.
I'm hard of hearing and asked to keep everything in writing. Nobody made it awkward. Everything came by email from then on.

Everything here is written for California specifically — the statutes, the prices and the process are all state law rather than general advice.
