Reviews
Dmitry Viktorovich Kovpak is a psychotherapist with a large store of knowledge and work experience. Many clients say that he is the only doctor who has helped overcome depression, panic attacks and phobias. One of the advantages that clients note is that this specialist can conduct Skype classes if the patient does not have the opportunity to personally come for therapy. Patients are pleased that Kovpak answers all their questions about treatment and the chances of recovery.
Not all reviews of Dmitry Viktorovich Kovpak are positive. Although there are not so many bad ones among them, some still write that even after several years of therapy the result is zero or insignificant. Clients are dissatisfied with the huge prices and the fact that the psychotherapist actively advertises their books and inspires patients to buy them, makes time for an appointment so that people go to him for many months. However, the author’s books are a huge success and are of interest to readers after reading at least one publication. Some publications, as patients say, or simply those who read, really help in solving the problem.
In special cases, the therapist prescribes medication to strengthen the effect of therapy. But many clients claim that they do not use medicines, since Dmitry Viktorovich helps them to cope with the problem without their help.
