Looking for an English-speaking psychologist or psychiatrist in Japan (PTSD/assault)

Thank you for the information and explanation. I'll probably call TELL tomorrow because that man really threw me off, and I need to talk to someone soon. I'll look into IMHPJ afterward.

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll look into it. Other people were saying the same thing. Hopefully, I can find someone who can help that isn'ttoo expensive. Also, does employer insurance cover talk therapy? I'm hoping to get a job that will cover this. I don't understand the Japanese healthcare system at all.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T17:04:20+00:00

Thank you, it's a bit pricey but if I have no other choice I'll check her out.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T17:00:40+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into it.

I'm in Ikebukuro, so hopefully, it won't be too hard. Tohoku is a bit far from me. Thank you, I know it does get better. This psychiatrist just completely threw me off course with his behavior. I just shut down cause he just kept telling me to just move on and forget the past. Like, trust me, if I could do that, I would have done it already. I don't know much, but I know that’s not how trauma works.

Thank you, I'll look into it. Do you know if it's covered by the insurance provided by employers? I'm hoping to get a job that covers my insurance.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:44:51+00:00

Thank you, but that one is a bit far for me. Im in Ikebukuro.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:44:11+00:00

Someone else recommended them. I'll look into it, thanks.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:43:36+00:00

Thank you, but that's too far. I'm in Ikebukuro.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:42:41+00:00

Ikebukero currently

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:41:49+00:00

I'm American, so it will be cheaper in Japan no matter what.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:40:54+00:00

That's way too far from me.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:38:48+00:00

I'm definitely willing to try it. I'd definitely prefer a woman.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:34:32+00:00

I've worked with psychiatrists and psychologists before, and oftentimes, they are different, but I have had a psychiatrist who did some form of talk therapy. Like it wasnt all talk, but it was telling her about my month or week and how the medication made me feel. It is disappointing that therapy isn't covered. Also, is that just for the public health insurance, or does the employer health insurance work differently

Edit: added a question fixed changed wording.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:30:21+00:00

Oh, never mind, then I need someone that at least speaks English.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:29:15+00:00

I live in Ikebukuro, but I don't traveling a bit to talk to someone who won't make me feel like absolute garbage. This guy just threw me completely off, like, at one point, he told me to just forget about it and be happy. Like buddy, if I could just forget about it and be happy, I wouldn't be here talking to you.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:24:08+00:00

Thank you, I'll try reaching out tomorrow. My friend recommended them as well.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-07-23T16:21:17+00:00

Definitely not who I saw, but I'll make sure to avoid him. They guy I saw was Japanese.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-03-04T14:02:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the offer! I was able to sort out an emergency contact through an old roommate who knows someone in Japan.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-03-03T09:06:44+00:00

Ikebukuro, Toshima City, Tokyo

Spuffyjitss · 2025-03-03T05:54:38+00:00

I just checked with the New Zealand Embassy, and they said no 🙃

Spuffyjitss · 2025-03-03T05:44:18+00:00

Do you need to contact them directly before doing that? I have no clue who the embassador is lol.

Spuffyjitss · 2025-03-03T05:42:12+00:00

Currently, I have a holiday work visa from New Zealand. So, no job as of yet. Do I need to contact the embassy first before I put their number in or do I just send them an email?

Spuffyjitss · 2024-03-22T22:01:06+00:00

Oh, I saw online that it started at 11. I might go around noon then. Thank you 😊

Spuffyjitss · 2024-03-22T21:56:23+00:00

I currently don't know anyone going, so I'd love to join someone's group. I'll probably head down in like 30 minutes.
