About Ethan Bernauer
I am constantly growing my specialties and use them to help clients with whatever issue they may be facing in the present moment. I work to help clients see that they are not alone in their struggles. Your mental health is not something to be ashamed of. I focus on whatever is most important to the client. I’ve heard countless stories of clients being discouraged because they don’t feel as though their therapist listens or that the therapist focuses on themselves and not on the client. This will never be the case in our sessions, as you are the focus of the sessions. YOU are the expert of your own life and should be treated as such
ESA Evaluation Services
As a licensed LMFT with 2+ years of professional experience, Ethan focuses on family systems therapy and therapeutic relationships. Through ESA Letter Online, Ethan conducts thorough clinical evaluations to assess whether an emotional support animal may provide meaningful mental health benefits for clients dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and related conditions.
Currently licensed in Indiana and Kentucky, Ethan provides ESA evaluations that meet the specific regulatory requirements of each state. Clients can be confident their evaluation is conducted by a properly credentialed professional.
Ethan's evaluations are grounded in Fair Housing Act guidelines and HUD standards. Each assessment considers the full clinical picture — including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions — to determine whether an emotional support animal would provide genuine therapeutic benefit. All client data is handled in accordance with HIPAA privacy requirements.
