Please note: I maintain a strict policy of not providing documentation or letters for Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). This decision is based on professional and ethical guidelines, as providing such a letter falls outside my clinical scope of practice.
Common questions
- Does Elena Conte write ESA letters?
- No. ESA documentation is outside her clinical scope. This page lists other licensed providers and services if you need an evaluation.
- Where can I get crisis help right now?
- Call or text 988, or see the crisis resources page. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
In brief
The resources page at Elumina Psychotherapy is a curated set of tools, guides, and support networks for people on a wellness journey. The page lists support groups, wellness apps and games, New York and New Jersey basic-needs links, and referral options if you need an emotional support animal evaluation.
Elena Conte, LCSW does not write ESA letters. That documentation is outside her clinical scope, so the page points to other licensed providers and services instead.
If you are in immediate distress, call or text 988, or open the crisis resources guide for safety planning. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. The crisis section on this page links to that guide and to the 988 line. Support groups are listed because connecting with people who share similar experiences can help. Apps and games are optional tools you can use between sessions. They are not a replacement for care. The New York and New Jersey sections cover mental-health and basic-needs help in each state.
