We accept consultations not only for the individual but also for families and those around them.

Unable to attend school or kindergarten. Developmental delays. Bullying. Restlessness. Difficulty fitting in with peers.

I'm unsure how to interact with my child as a parent. I have concerns about my child.

I want to further develop my potential. I want to understand myself better. I want to re-examine my way of life.

I have trouble getting along with people. I get nervous in front of others. I'm afraid of interacting with people. I don't get along with my family. I can't adapt well to the workplace.

I get depressed easily. I lack motivation. I'm extremely anxious. I get irritated easily.

We do not offer consultations by phone.
Depending on the nature of your inquiry, our center may not be able to accept it.
Depending on the current reception status, you may have to wait for a while.

The consultations are handled by graduate students in the field of clinical psychology.
Therefore, we are unable to accept consultations from individuals associated with Obirin Gakuen or their families.
• Ongoing consultations are generally scheduled on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
The graduate students who handle consultations change every year.
We will be recording the interview as it is necessary for supervising graduate students' practical training.
Please be assured that we strictly manage information and protect your anonymity and confidentiality.
• You may be asked to cooperate with surveys and research to improve our research and counseling services.
