Skype Psychiatry and Counseling Service

The American therapists at the Meguro Counseling Center located in Tokyo are available for phone or Skype psychotherapy. The Meguro Counseling Center therapists are experienced in individual mental health counseling, marriage and couples counseling, child and adolescent counseling, family therapy, and group psychotherapy. While located in Tokyo, the Meguro Counseling Center has found that effective therapy and counseling is possible via phone or Skype and has considerable experience using Skype and/or phone.

A friendly and compassionate atmosphere is key to a successful therapy. A balance of the different major types of therapy (cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, supportive, group psychotherapy, and others) is employed to help each individual with their specific needs.

Sometimes severe depression or anxiety may require medication therapy in addition to counseling. Our therapists are well-versed in psychopharmacology and can provide you with information and recommendations to guide any psychiatric medication treatment. Your therapist can either suggest medications to a Dr. in your area who will give you a local prescription; alternatively, your therapist can arrange for you to have a Japanese physician that is affiliated with our Center post you a prescription for medications that your therapist recommends, and you can order this medication from an overseas export pharmacy we can introduce you to if the country you reside in allows personal imports. In addition, therapy fees can be conveniently paid on-line with PayPal.

Please feel free to contact the Center for an initial Skype or phone session if you or a loved one is in need of help.
