About me

Hello, my name is Kisstopher Musick (she/her). I am an American-trained and qualified therapist/psychologist/coach and hold a PhD in psychology. I am formally trained in differential diagnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, classical talk therapy, compassion focused therapy, as well as career and executive development. I received a great deal of my training, prior to earning my master’s degree, from Applied Behavioral Consultants, one of the leading behavioral modification companies in the United States. After working with Applied Behavioral Consultants, I opened a private practice in the United States. In 2009, I decided to complement my training and qualifications with a Master of Science in Psychology from Walden University, which I completed in 2011. I completed a PhD in psychology in 2022.

When I moved from California, USA, to Nagoya, Japan, in 2007 with my husband and son, I recognized that there was a profound need for qualified native English-speaking mental health care and career development services. That’s why I founded Adjustment Guidance. As the founding psychologist (therapist, counselor, coach, guide or whatever you prefer to call it) I have led Adjustment Guidance since 2009. Throughout my more than 25 years of experience I continue to enjoy great success helping individuals, couples, professionals, and executives thrive.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Positive psychotherapyRecommended for those who want to focus on building strengths, increasing happiness, and enhancing their overall well-being, rather than just focusing on problems.

My therapeutic and coaching approach is a customized blend of compassion-focused therapy, talk therapy, positive psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. All of our approaches are client first. This means that meeting your needs is always the priority. Because I want to find the therapy/ coaching course that works best for you, I will listen to your goals and work with you to determine the best course moving forward.

The things I consider when designing your custom therapy/coaching course are the best therapeutic approaches for you, the right frequency of appointments, and your budget. You and I will work together to ensure that you are able to achieve your specific goals. I am confident that you can overcome and conquer any issues you may be facing. I believe you can live a rich and happy life free of internal conflict and strife.

I don’t offer quick fixes. I help you understand the patterns you keep repeating and change them from the root. Treating a symptom is like touching the tip of the iceberg.
