A testimonial from the parents with middle school-aged children.
What kind of concerns or issues were you struggling with before receiving Tatsuya's therapy?
My middle school son was using abusive language and being violent.
How did Tatsuya's therapy help improve your situation?
Both the abusive language and the violence disappeared.
What was your impression of therapy before and after?
(Before therapy)
I thought the issues would improve within a few months, but I realized that emotional problems are much more complicated than I had imagined, and that they require both time and patience.
(After therapy)
It was reassuring to be able to talk with a third-party therapist, someone outside the family. It gave me the opportunity to objectively recognize my own mistakes. Even for small concerns, addressing them before they get worse leads to early detection, so I now wish I had sought therapy sooner.
What did you like about the therapist?
The therapist truly empathized with my son by putting himself in his shoes. They worked with him wholeheartedly. The therapist listened carefully to my son and helped him build a strong relationship of trust. Additionally, the therapist gave my son tasks to improve his undesirable behaviors and thought patterns, much like homework. Whenever he succeeded, he was praised and encouraged, and this gradual process helped him improve over time.
The therapist also listened to the perspectives of my husband, myself, and our other child, and pointed out the family’s problems. They gave us weekly guidance on how to approach my son as parents. Because the therapy addressed the issues comprehensively, I believe that’s why we saw good results in a short amount of time.
Who would you recommend the therapist to?
I would recommend consulting as soon as anyone has a concern, no matter who they are. The mind is complex, and once it suffers, it can take years to heal.
In particular, I recommend it to families that move frequently or those with children approaching puberty. Parents are often too busy with daily life to notice issues. A child’s emotional growth is delicate, and when there are problems, they can have a significant impact on their future. It’s better to seek help before it’s too late.
