Hi, I’m Tommy, LCPC
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
I founded 312 ESA because I believe the bond between people and their animals deserves protection. As a licensed Illinois LCPC, I’ve seen firsthand how profoundly animals support mental health. Every letter I issue comes from a real consultation, because you deserve more than a checkbox.

Why Chicago
Chooses 312 ESA
Real Clinical Credentials
Every letter is issued personally by a licensed Illinois LCPC, not an algorithm, not a third party.
Chicago Born & Based
We know Chicago landlords, Illinois tenant law, and your neighborhood. National platforms don’t.
A Story You Can Trust
312 ESA started because of Monroe, a Yorkie-poo who changed everything. We believe in this because we’ve lived it.
Affordable & Accessible
Quality ESA certification shouldn’t depend on your income. We keep our prices fair on purpose.
