Specialty clinical service

Psychiatric Service Dog Evaluation

An individualized clinical evaluation and documentation service for Florida clients considering a task-trained psychiatric service dog as part of their care.

A Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) is a dog individually trained to perform tasks related to a person's disability. This is different from an Emotional Support Animal, whose presence may provide comfort without disability-related task training.

Serendipia Therapy provides a professional clinical evaluation. We do not sell letters, certify or register service dogs, evaluate dog training, determine public-access rights, or guarantee documentation or any third-party decision.

No Guaranteed Outcome

Payment covers clinical time and evaluation. Documentation is considered only when supported by the clinician's independent judgment.

PSD-Specific Focus

The clinical conversation considers disability-related needs and the role of trained tasks. It does not assess or certify an animal's training.

Clinical Integrity

A Florida-licensed clinical social worker conducts the evaluation through secure telehealth using an individualized, evidence-informed process.

What to Expect

  1. 1.Clinical assessment: A review of mental-health symptoms, functional limitations, history, and current supports.
  2. 2.PSD-focused discussion: Consideration of whether disability-related trained tasks may be relevant to your clinical needs.
  3. 3.Independent judgment: The clinician determines whether any documentation is clinically supportable. Documentation is not guaranteed.
  4. 4.Next steps: You receive clinical guidance or referrals as appropriate. Acceptance and legal determinations remain with the applicable third party.
