Kitaodori Kokoro no Clinic
About
Located on the 3rd floor of Credo Medical Building in Kita Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Kitadori Mental Clinic specializes in psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine. The clinic operates by appointment only, offering two daily sessions on weekdays with additional Saturday morning clinics held twice a month. Notably, the clinic features HOPES, a day care program specialized in employment support and return-to-work assistance. Fully operational since 2022, this program targets individuals aiming for social reintegration and workplace return, providing structured support for gradual return to work while maintaining ongoing psychiatric care. The clinic also offers evidence-based programs including group cognitive behavioral therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT). These initiatives have been featured in the Yomiuri Shimbun Hokkaido edition. The facility is barrier-free, ensuring accessibility for individuals with physical disabilities. The clinic also provides English-language medical services. Please note that as of 2025, there is a waiting list for new patient appointments, so checking availability in advance is recommended.
