Understanding Anxiety — Gentle and Effective Treatment at Our Clinic

Feeling anxious from time to time is normal. However, when anxiety becomes persistent or interferes with daily life, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder.

At our clinic in Azabu, Tokyo, we provide comprehensive and gentle care for anxiety, combining counseling, medication, and natural Kampo (Japanese herbal) treatments.

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural reaction to stress — a feeling of worry, unease, or tension about future events.

While mild anxiety is part of life, chronic anxiety can lead to sleep problems, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent worry or restlessness
• Muscle tension or heart palpitations
• Trouble sleeping
• Difficulty focusing
• Avoidance of certain situations

If these symptoms last for several weeks or months, it’s important to seek professional support.

Counseling and Mental Training

Our clinic offers counseling and psychotherapy in both Japanese and English. Please Book Online from here.

Counseling helps you:

• Understand the causes of anxiety
• Learn effective coping and relaxation techniques
• Build emotional resilience
• Restore confidence and balance in daily life

In addition to in-clinic counseling, we also introduce podcast-based mental training programs, allowing you to practice self-care and mindfulness techniques at home.

Please consider listening to the podcast here.

This helps patients maintain emotional stability between visits and promotes long-term recovery.

Gentle Treatment with Kampo Medicine

For patients who prefer natural options or are sensitive to Western medications, we offer Kampo (traditional Japanese herbal medicine).

Kampo formulations can gently relieve anxiety-related symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, and digestive discomfort, without heavy sedation.

We carefully select herbal blends that match each individual’s physical condition, aiming for mild and balanced healing.

Medication for Anxiety

If necessary, our psychiatrists may prescribe modern anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications (such as SSRIs).

All medications are prescribed with caution and tailored to minimize side effects.

We combine Western medicine and natural approaches to achieve the most comfortable and effective outcome for each patient.
