TUJ Counseling Center (Mental Health Services)

The TUJ Counseling Center helps TUJ students increase their self-awareness, improve their problem-solving skills, accomplish their personal and academic goals, and manage mental health symptoms and related concerns. All services are provided by professional counselors and include individual counseling, drop-in hours, psychiatric medication referrals, and workshops. Counseling is offered in multiple languages (e.g., Japanese and English).

Information obtained during counseling sessions is kept strictly confidential.

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling is available for undergraduate and graduate students who are currently registered for TUJ courses and reside in Japan.

HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

  • Japan Admit (JA) undergraduate and graduate students may fill out the “Individual Session Request Form” on https://tuj-ac-jp.titaniumhwc.com New Tab. Once we receive your form, we will contact you within 2-3 business days.
  • JA undergraduate students may also make individual counseling appointments with a TELUS counselor by either calling or texting TELUS (see below for more information).
  • Study Abroad (SA) students may call or email Healix to make individual counseling appointments (see below for more information).

Drop-In Hours

The TUJ Counseling Center offers in-person drop-in hours for undergraduate and graduate students who need to speak to our counselors immediately. Please find the hour details below. Our drop-in hours are open from the first day of the semester to the last day of finals week. It is on a first-come-first-served basis. Because only one person can be seen at a time, there may be waiting time.
If you are planning to have more than one session or would like to set up weekly sessions, please email us and request individual counseling sessions instead of coming to the drop-in hours.
