I like the basics of this plan. I think majoring in Japanese is a great idea. Find a school with an exchange program so you can do a semester or year in Japan, too.

What kind of work do you want to do as a psychologist in Japan? I think research or teaching might have some possibilities, but having a practice with patients may require you to graduate from a Japanese medical school, which is going to be very difficult.

I have never heard of anyone going to a psychologist for therapy or anyone taking drugs like ritalin or psychosomatic drugs in Japan, so I don't know if there is a market for a foreign born therapist.
