We help you decide if you need treatment or instruction from a specialist.

Through personal interview, we will understand your needs and suggest whether you need assessment, treatment, or instruction from a specialist. Private consultation is usually a one-time service unless you request additional sessions, so you can try it out even if you are not sure whether you need professional service or not. During the private consultation, we will explain the benefits of using professional service and what you can do at home if you decide not to use professional service. If you go straight to meet a specialist, you may not be able to hear about alternative options or community services and you may feel guilty if you decide not to receive professional service from the specialist. We are here to offer a consulting room, which you can come in at ease.
