Our center provides specialized mental health counseling and professional guidance to support foreign residents in Japan, particularly in accessing public administrative services related to mental health and developmental disorders.
We place a strong emphasis on supporting families with pre-school-aged children, offering a range of services including individual, group, and family therapy, as well as coordinated support involving educational institutions and local government agencies.
In addition to developmental and psychiatric concerns, we address a broad spectrum of psychosocial challenges such as adjustment difficulties due to cross-cultural transitions, anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, self-regulation difficulties (emotional and behavioral), chronic illness, grief and loss, trauma, and lifelong identity issues, tailored to individuals across all stages of life—including highly sensitive children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing major transitions.
Our multidisciplinary team includes pediatricians, licensed clinical psychologists, certified public psychologists, and nationally credentialed professional counselors, providing comprehensive and evidence-based care across domains.
We are committed to supporting the wellbeing of foreign residents and their families living in Japan, and to contributing to the development of an inclusive and supportive society.
Vision: Supporting family wellness andcontributing to a society where children can grow up safely.
