Representative
Licensed Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, US Licensed Counselor

After graduating from university with a major in psychology, moved to the United States.

Received a master's degree in school counseling from a US state graduate school.

After returning to Japan, I worked at an international school and a child consultation center, and realized the necessity of mental health for working adults for the future of children. After that, while gaining experience as an EAP (employee assistance program) mental health consultant at companies and clinics all over the country, continued school counseling and counseling at children's homes.

After giving birth to her first child, she became a freelance clinical psychologist. In 2013, we launched "Kids Solutions", a "solution-oriented" approach that focuses on solutions and strengths rather than problems, reducing the stress of adults involved in children and developing their strengths so that both adults and children can shine lively. We are working as a mission to support.

Currently a children's garden/While working as a counselor at a nursery school/elementary and junior high school, she spreads solutions-oriented programs called "Enjoy Individual Raising!"

As a mother of 3 children, I am struggling every day to raise my children.

It is difficult to draw a line between “strict discipline” and “abuse”, “neglect due to busyness” and “neglect”. It is also difficult to determine whether the parents' "love and beliefs" are being swayed by cognitive biases (preconceptions) stemming from "anxiety and preconceptions."

But each person and family is different. There is more than one answer. If you don't rush and learn from scratch and assemble it, it's not a detour, it's a shortcut. First of all, let's get away from your own assumptions and have fun learning together how to get better.
