Hi Dr Levy, what is your opinion on the length of time that someone should be in therapy?
I've read comments from other psychologists saying that if they don't see any real progress after a year or so, to move on or find a different therapist. But I have friends who have been in therapy for 5+ years and still see the same person weekly. How do you differentiate between a therapist who is genuinely engaged and trying to help their clients, and someone who is clearly not the right fit but is dragging things out to make money?
