Testimonials

Tatsuya Arakawa LMFT > “I believe many people should casually try therapy. For example, even if the issue is something common like a child spending too much time watching YouTube instead of studying, if you want to improve the situation, I would recommend therapy.”

A testimonial from the parents with young child in elementary school

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

We were struggling with our child's problematic behavior. There were no issues in everyday life, but for example, in the mornings, if our child was feeling upset and didn’t want to go to school, he would suddenly start shouting, and sometimes, they would even act violently.

How did Tatsuya's therapy help improve your situation?

The problematic behaviors disappeared. Even when our child faced something unpleasant, he started calmly explaining the reasons, and he became more consistent in doing what was expected of him.

What was your impression of therapy before and after?

Honestly, I was skeptical about how much could be accomplished through online therapy, but there were no issues at all, and the results were remarkable.

What did you like about the therapist?

What I really appreciated was that the therapist didn’t focus on directly guiding the child, but instead taught us, parents, how we should discipline and guide our child. It was a "teach them how to fish, rather than just giving them the fish" approach. This method has made me feel confident in raising our child going forward.

Who would you recommend the therapist to?

I don’t think it’s necessary to narrow down the target audience to a specific group of people. I believe many people should casually try therapy. For example, even if the issue is something common like a child spending too much time watching YouTube instead of studying, if you want to improve the situation, I would recommend therapy.
