Testimonial from a Mother of a High School Son

What kind of concerns or issues were you struggling with before receiving Tatsuya's therapy?

My child started skipping school frequently due to issues with interpersonal relationships. I didn’t know how to interact with him or support him properly.

How did Tatsuya's therapy help improve your situation?

When it came to my relationship with my child, I struggled to make decisions on my own and hesitated to take action because I was too worried about the outcome. Through therapy, I became more confident in my approach and was able to take steps I couldn’t before. Over time, my worry transformed into trust.

What was your impression of therapy before and after?

At first, I had a slightly dark and negative impression of therapy. However, in reality, it felt more like attending a class or lesson. That said, therapy is not a passive experience—by speaking openly and reflecting on my thoughts in order to express them, I gained many valuable insights.

What did you like about the therapist?

The therapist was free of bias and never came across as intimidating or imposing.

Who would you recommend the therapist to?

I would recommend it to parents who tend to be overly involved in their child's life.
