Dr. Chapman at KYCARDS has been nothing but wonderful from my very first appointment. I have been struggling with anxiety/panic/agoraphobia for over 5 yrs. I recently started seeing Dr. Kevin Chapman after searching for a solution. After years of meds and a revolving door of therapists and counselors I have found my person. The first thing he said to me when I told him how long I’d been dealing with anxiety was “That’s too long” and that was a relief to here. All the counselors and therapists before just wanted to talk and talk with no real plan or strategy. Dr. Chapman helps you strategically

Dr.Chapman was very helpful to our family. He remained open to discussions in and outside of sessions and offered various ways to communicate. We found his methods to be valuable and we saw improvement. We really appreciate his manner and the way he treats his patients and their family.

Dr. kevin Chapman isn’t just a anxiety specialist, but is a true man of God, who stands firm behind his faith, and that is why his treatment process is so successful. I suffered from Anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia , I was at my worst when I started making opponents with Kevin, I was going to the hospital on multiple occasions thinking something was wrong with me, having numerous panic attacks a week. And it got to the point where I didn’t want to leave my house because of my fears, After meeting with Kevin I soon realized how real of a person he was and not like other therapist I had gone

Dr. Chapman was a great help not only with my son's OCD, but he was very sensitive and helpful to my wife and I and the stress we experienced as we tried to help our son. Kevin is not just a great Dr., he is clearly a man who has a healthy relationship with God. Thanks Dr. Chapman ... finish well

Dr Kevin Chapman is an amazing therapist and a compassionate, warm and funny human being.
I've struggled with ocd and anxiety for years and have seen several therapists, to no avail. I ended up learning a lot on my own and when I heard Dr Chapman on a podcast from England (ocd stories) I heard him speak a language that the other true experts on ocd and anxiety spoke. I contacted dr Chapman and began working with him in March. He worked with me every week for about three months and I improved significantly over that time. I did things I didn't think I could ever do. I'm extremely

Dr. Chapman is a compassionate, down-to-earth, and honest professional. He has a gift for helping people - especially athletes - with mental toughness and focus. He is, without question, the go-to guy for anyone who is working to overcome and manage anxiety. Dr. Chapman treats his patients as friends and is genuinely concerned about their well-being. Our family is extremely grateful for Dr. C's services.

I, like every other human, dislike showing the extent of my vulnerability to others. I had suffered from a phobia for my entire life, however, and I know I was going to need to get that fixed somehow. I contacted Dr. Chapman's office via his website, and was surprised to get a prompt response from Dr. Chapman himself. I saw him weekly from August until the holiday season, and was able to enjoy my holidays sans-phobia! I've never had any issue with the receptionists or anyone else in the office. Honestly, as happy as I am to not need to go in, I miss seeing everyone! Even once when I needed to cancel

Dr Kevin Chapman is compassionate and caring. I was incredibly grateful for his help and I would never have been able to do what I have without him. He made me feel like I was talking to a friend, not like I was speaking to a psychologist. I will forever be thankful for him. I've actually referred 3 people to him who I knew and they had great results.

My son has suffered from depression and anxieties due to a few health issues. Before meeting Dr. Chapman this time last year he confined himself to his room doing very little outside.
Since my son became a patient he now is more active, he uses Dr. Chapman's techniques on a daily basis and actually feels better.
As a parent there is nothing more upsetting when your child is in pain, and you can't fix it. I could not be more blessed to have Dr. Chapman working with my son and proud to say that my son is registered for college in the fall. I am forever grateful to not only Dr. Chapman but the entire

I could go into testimony about what it is like to be rid of a life-long phobia, but that would be boring to anyone who has not had one. I will say that my phobia(of vomit) was controlling my life so much that it's the whole reason I got on Yelp in the first place. I did not trust places that I wanted to eat, even really nice places. I was not leaving my house, and would be near a panic if I ate food anywhere beyond a 15 minute drive from my home. I would not exercise much for fear of overexertion. I love trying new foods, but I was not even doing that. I would not go out anywhere near a bar

Dr. Chapman is very well educated and makes patients feel at ease. His approach to treating patients is specifically tailored to the individual seeking treatment. I couldn't be more pleased with his services.
