Our Counseling Services
The Tokyo Child and Adolescent Counseling Services highly values the professional and ethical standards set by the American Psychiatric Association and the therapists maintain Continuing Medical Education Credits in order to provide the highest-quality of care possible.
Some of the more common problems seen at the Tokyo Child and Adolescent Counseling Services includes behavioral disorders of childhood and adolescence, learning disabilities, self-confidence problems, relationship/family problems, depression, anxiety/panic, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD or ADHD), phobias, substance and alcohol abuse, history of traumatic experiences (PTSD)/child abuse, and others.
Although most difficulties that are seen in children and adolescents can be dealt with effectively through counseling and behavioral approaches, there is the rare occasion that medication may be necessary for a severe depression or a clear case of attention deficit disorder that does not respond to psychosocial interventions. In these cases, while information and recommendations regarding psychiatric medication can be provided, the Tokyo Child and Adolescent Counseling Services works together with a physician licensed in Japan who provides the prescription.
