Service Animal Recommendation Letter
Service Animal Recommendation Letter
November 25, 2050
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to confirm that Johnathan A. Smith, born on March 12, 1985, is currently under my care and has been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). As a result of this condition, Mr. Smith experiences significant challenges with anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional distress, which impact his ability to engage in daily activities without assistance.
After thorough evaluation and ongoing therapeutic sessions, I recommend that Mr. Smith be provided with a service animal. The presence of a trained service dog will aid in mitigating the symptoms of his PTSD by providing emotional support and performing specific tasks, including calming him during moments of distress, alerting him to anxiety episodes, and providing a physical anchor during times of hypervigilance. These supports are essential for Mr. Smith's well-being and overall functioning.
I believe that a service animal will significantly enhance Mr. Smith's ability to cope with the challenges posed by his condition and improve his quality of life.
If you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at the number listed above.
Sincerely,
Dr. [Your Name], PhD, LPC
