About
Located in Tomigaya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Kokoro no Shinryo Kitamura Clinic is a completely reservation-based private practice specializing in mental health care. The clinic does not use health insurance, designing tailored treatment plans optimal for each client. Sessions are typically 60 or 90 minutes, and with the advance reservation system, there is no waiting time. The clinic respects client autonomy, explaining diagnoses, examinations, treatments, and outlooks clearly before listening to the client's thoughts and wishes. Focusing on life history and personality, the clinic strives to provide individualized care rather than one-size-fits-all treatment. Treatments are based on scientific evidence, with medications prescribed in minimal types and doses. The clinic employs a primary nurse system, where a dedicated nurse responsibly cares for clients from arrival to departure. Private waiting rooms are available, and clients are listened to attentively during weekly sessions. Clients may bring babies and children, who are cared for by dedicated midwives and childcare workers during consultations. The director is the first Japanese person to obtain specialist qualifications from the UK Royal College of Psychiatrists and provides services in English. Credit cards and electronic payments are accepted, and parking is available.
