Response: No. Liability insurance is not required in Japan, and cannot be obtained. It is not offered to counselors and therapists by insurance companies we contacted. Most counselors and therapists work under their basic civil responsibility insurance. This does not apply to Certified Clinical Psychologist (臨床心理士). Maintaining liability insurance may be required as a part of your license responsibilities in your country of origin. You may inquire about coverage from your country of origin, however many agencies will not insure abroad.
