We assist you in your communication with doctors and provide clear interpretation of difficult medical terms. Furthermore, we can assist patients with accommodation in Japan. If you are from Vietnam and interested in receiving a medical checkup or treatment in Japan, please feel free to contact us.
Psychological Counseling with a Certified Clinical Psychologist
Do you have any of these problems?
- ● Do you have any mental health concerns you want to solve?
- ● Are you stressed about your life or have relationship issues?
- ● Do you want to keep your mental health in shape?
- ● Or do you just want to talk to someone?
At Lantern Pharmacy we have a clinical psychologist on staff. Thus, at our pharmacy we are able to assist you not only with physical illness but also your mental issues and concerns.
A clinical psychologist approaches mental health issues using knowledge and techniques based on clinical psychology. A clinical psychologist certification is obtained by passing a Japan Clinical Psychologist Association examination.
Through a psychological assessment and consultation, we provide individually tailored counseling and psychotherapy. We also provide counseling for those who are not necessarily going to a psychotherapist but just want to talk to someone.
Of course, we also provide counseling for people who just want to talk about their problems or take care of their mental health before going to a clinic. We aim to be a place where you can easily consult about your mental health just like you would come to a regular pharmacy for a health consultation. Please feel free to ask about anything from everyday worries to heavier subjects.
Psychological Counseling
for Vietnamese People
Vietnamese people in Japan can also consult about their mental health problems here, just as they are able to do about other health-related issues. Lantern Pharmacy aims to be a comprehensive pharmacy that care about both the mental and physical health of all people.
Our Mission at Lantern Pharmacy
There is a big reason that we at Lantern Pharmacy strive to support patients in more ways than a regular pharmacy, including with medication consultation, medical interpretation and psychological counseling.
Previously we have had the opportunity to provide health guidance to a sports team. Through this experience we discovered that performance in competitions often were related to mental health status. Physical and mental health are inseparably linked together and affect each other.
Lantern Pharmacy aims to support the livelihood of the local community and improve the quality of life. We are committed to assisting patients regardless of their nationality in resolving any concerns related to health and lifestyle.
