"Mental expert" We accept consultations from various people
Teikyo University Mental Health Center is a mental health consultation center located on Hachioji Campus with the aim of providing mental care in the local community. In recent years, mental health issues have become a hot topic due to changes in the environment and lifestyles, and we provide consultation on a variety of issues, including child development and interpersonal relationships, regardless of gender or age.
Our center aims to be of service to local residents in terms of mental care. Another important goal is to train Graduate School to study clinical psychology. To that end, counseling is provided by trained Graduate School under the supervision of faculty members who are licensed clinical psychologists. In some cases, we may also refer students to other counseling organizations, such as medical institutions, that we deem more appropriate. It is the human heart that enriches our towns and our lives. As a mental health counseling center open to the community, faculty and students work together to carefully address the mental health issues of each individual.
Message from Head of Center
Head of Center Professor Takuro Motonaga
I always have troubles in my life. Sometimes there is a great deal of suffering that I cannot handle on my own. There are times when I can't help but talk about my little anxiety. We listen carefully to the voice of your heart. Depending on your worries, you may not be able to express it well. Even at such times, we will share our time slowly. Incorporate play, create a garden, and draw pictures to listen to the unspeakable screams of the heart. The deeper your worries, the longer it will take to heal. Sometimes you may be overwhelmed by despair and get stuck. Even in such a case, we will find hope and wait for the moment when our hearts relax and support us. We have prepared a counseling room and a play room so that you can spend a relaxing time. It is an atmosphere where blue is the keynote and the heart rests. Please use freely.
History of establishment
Mental health care continues to evolve with the times. In 2001, the Teikyo Graduate School Teikyo University Mental Health Center was established at the same time as the launch of the clinical Division of Clinical Psychology (Master's Degree Program) in the Graduate Graduate School of Liberal Arts. A major impetus for the establishment of this center was the model placement of school counselors in public junior high schools, which began in 1995. As the number of students gaining firsthand experience with clinical psychology increased and interest in it as a career and academic field suddenly grew, revisions to the qualification screening regulations were made. In recent years, communication skills have become increasingly important in schools and workplaces, and the need for mental support is growing with no end in sight, as people who are unable to communicate socially with others are unable to be accepted by society.At our center, we aim to provide a multifaceted counseling approach under the guidance of specialized staff from various fields, including psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, and community psychology. The aim of the school is to provide education and research into the theory, techniques and practice of clinical psychology, and it also provides an important training environment for those aiming to obtain qualifications as clinical psychologists.
Main activities
The field of clinical psychology is expected to play an increasingly important role in society in the future. In collaboration with the University Hospital, local School of Medicine institutions, and elderly care facilities, the Center is working to train mental health professionals who can respond to a wide range of needs and contribute to the local community. By having our professionals proactively engage with the outside world, we are pioneering new possibilities in clinical psychology.
