Japanese Mental Health Professionals
[Last updated: September 2013]Update 5/14/18: I haven't updated this section in a long time. Just found out that JB Line has a list of Japanese-speaking mental health counselors. Rather than duplicate the info here, I'm just linking to it. Note that their page is in a mix of Japanese and English. You can view it with Google Translate here.
Your insurance company may have a list of Japanese-speaking mental health providers. Even if a mental health provider is not listed with your insurance company, it may be possible for them to sign up to work with you under a "single case agreement." Ask the provider if they are willing to fill out this paperwork. Your insurance company might approve a provider either because they don't have any or many Japanese-speaking providers or even if you need a Japanese provider for cultural reasons.
