About Us
ShisaCare mission statement: “To provide quality therapy services to families living in Japan.”
ShisaCare was created to address a previously unmet demand for therapy services that accept U.S. insurance in Japan. Okinawa hosts many U.S. Department of Defense families, and while living abroad is a challenge in and of itself, it can be even more of a challenge if a family member has special need(s). ShisaCare helps families enhance communication skills by providing quality therapy services. We strongly hope to make a difference in our clients' lives while they explore a new country.
ShisaCare also offers teletherapy that accepts U.S. insurance across Japan.
