ESA Letterhead has a personal phone number and a personal email, how to verify it?

[Christina Banker]

Hi All,

I have a tenant who submitted an ESA letter. The letterhead has the LCSW's personal email and a personal phone number. I asked them to provide a work email/phone or organizational email/phone but they said this LCSW is a private practice, so that is the email they use. I checked the license on the letter, and it seems legit.

My question is, can an LCSW without a Practice prescribe an ESA letter? My confusion is if they do not have an actual practice, how do patients make appointments and receive the ESA letter? I get that sometimes the LCSW can just be the tenant's friend or family. If that is the case, does the ESA letter still legit?

Thanks.
