Health and Counseling

At LUJ we offer a variety of both on-campus and virtual counseling through our Student Affairs department as well as with our professional counselor. 

Students struggling through any aspect of their college lives are encouraged to make an appointment with one of our dedicated Student Affairs representatives, and can schedule appointments to receive some additional help and support. LUJ also employs a professional health counselor for situations that may require some professional insight and support. To make an appointment with a Student Affairs representative, email studentaffairs@japan.lakeland.edu or call 03-3325-0427.

Talk with our professional counselor (Dr. Yuko Kawanishi), email kawanishi@japan.lakeland.edu.

Drop-in appointments are approximately 20 minutes, and are for non-crisis consultations. Students can use them as a way to meet a counselor before deciding whether to make a full appointment (45-50 minutes) or to consult about a specific situation.
