ABOUT US

Testimonials to TIP Futako-Tamagawa
"I have trained the TIP Futako-Tamagawa team in both Family Based Treatment (FBT) and Adolescent & Parent Treatment (APT), and also supervised them for the past four and half years in the treatment of eating disorders therefore can genuinely endorse their high level of expertise in the field.
Through my interactions with the team I am always impressed by their depth of knowledge, their caring and empathetic manner, and their commitment to ensuring families receive an holistic and
compassion treatment despite the intensity of eating disorder behaviours experienced by their suffering patients.
I am confident that the clinicians at Tokyo International Psychotherapy will provide an excellent service to all their patients, and that this highly experienced team will contribute to the future development of eating disorders services and treatments in Japan."
