Your Brain Works Differently.
It’s Time Your Therapy Did Too.
You've probably been told you just need to focus more. Try harder. Stay organized.
But ADHD is a biological & behavioral condition. And when it goes unaddressed, it shapes everything.
That can change.

Our Goal: Help You Understand Your ADHD and Get Back in Control of Your Life.
When you're living with ADHD, the challenges don't stay in one area. They show up at work, at school, in your relationships, and in how you see yourself. The harder you try to push through, the more exhausted and frustrated you become.
Underneath almost all of it, we find the same two things missing: balance and power.
Balance is the feeling that you can manage what's in front of you without it all falling apart. Power is the knowledge that your ADHD doesn't have to run your life.
We can help you understand how your ADHD shows up specifically for you, build real strategies around it, and feel in control again.
Insurances We Accept
We are currently working to paneled on more insurances as well!
You Know What This Feels Like.
You start tasks and don't finish them. You lose things, miss deadlines, and forget conversations you meant to remember. The work piles up faster than you can get through it, and no matter how much you try to organize yourself, something always slips.
It's not just frustrating. It's exhausting. And over time, the constant struggle starts to affect how you feel about yourself. You wonder if you're capable. You feel like you can never do anything right.
Maybe you've been managing this for years without really understanding why things feel so hard. Maybe you've tried strategies that worked for a while and then stopped. Maybe the anxiety or low mood that comes with it is starting to feel just as heavy as the ADHD itself.
The approach just didn't match what you actually needed.
You end up back in the same cycle, wondering if anything will ever really stick.
That's where we do things differently.
ADHD Doesn’t Look the Same for Everyone.
A lot of people don't recognize ADHD in themselves because it doesn't always look like the stereotypes. For some it's restlessness and impulsivity. For others it's quiet, invisible struggle.
Here are some of the ways it commonly shows up:
Starting tasks but rarely finishing them. The intention is there. The follow-through isn't.
Difficulty concentrating, even on things you care about. Your mind goes somewhere else and you can't always bring it back.
Memory gaps. Forgetting conversations, losing things, missing details you meant to hold onto.
Difficulty planning and organizing. What feels simple to others feels overwhelming to you.
Restlessness and fatigue. Your brain is running constantly, and it's wearing you out.
Anxiety, low mood, and low self-esteem. Often not the cause of the ADHD, but the result of years of struggling without understanding why.
If several of these feel familiar, you're in the right place.
Here's What We Actually Do.
When you come to Duality Psych Services, we start by getting honest about where you are.
What's pulling at your nerves? What's in your control and what isn't.
How your ADHD specifically shows up in your life, because no two people experience it the same way.
From there, we build a real treatment plan together.
Not session by session, hoping something sticks.
A clear roadmap with specific goals and real direction, built around you from day one.
We develop behavioral strategies targeted to your specific ADHD symptoms, build stronger coping skills, and work on the self-esteem and self-worth that often takes a hit after years of feeling like you're falling behind.
A note on medication: we don't prescribe or manage medication at Duality Psych Services. Our work is therapeutic. If medication is something you're exploring, we're happy to support you in finding the right provider for that alongside your therapy work here.
We're a small, intentional practice.
Every client we work with is matched carefully with the right therapist, not just whoever is available. And because our clinicians are trained across a wide range of evidence-based approaches, we're never limited to one way of helping you.
Because that's what actually works.
We choose what fits where you are right now, and we adjust as you grow.
This isn't one-size-fits-all therapy, it's therapy customized to you.
We're Not Here to Keep You in Therapy Forever.
Our goal from day one is to work ourselves out of a job.
That means giving you the insight, strategies, and self-understanding to manage your ADHD on your own terms.
When therapy ends, you'll leave with a toolkit that's yours to keep. And if things get hard again down the road, you'll know exactly what to do with it.
Here's What Can Change
The things that used to feel like mountains, can start to feel like molehills.
And not because life got easier. But because you grew.
Tasks that once felt impossible start to feel manageable. Your focus sharpens. The things you start, you actually finish. The anxiety and low mood that followed the ADHD around starts to ease.
When things get hard, you don't collapse under the overwhelm, you know your power.
Instead of life just happening to you, you can feel like you're making real progress. That's what having balance looks like, and it's what we're here to help you find.
Getting on top of your ADHD is possible. And you don't have to figure out how to get there on your own. We can help.
If you’re ready to experience life better, we’re here to help.
You might feel skeptical - especially if you’ve tried therapy before and felt like nothing changed. But this is different.

Hi, We're Duality Psych Services.
We're a small, boutique therapy practice based in Los Angeles, and we built this practice with one belief at the center: therapy should be built around the person, not the other way around.
We kept seeing the same story. People who had tried therapy, done the work, and still weren't getting where they needed to go.
Not because they weren't trying hard enough. Because the approach wasn't built for them.
That's why every client here is matched carefully with the right therapist. Every treatment plan is built collaboratively.
And every session is pointed at the same goal: getting you to a place where you feel balanced, powerful, and ready to take on whatever comes next.
Why People Choose Duality Psych Services
A plan, not just a process.
You won't just show up week after week and see where it goes. From the start, we build a real treatment plan with you, with clear goals, a clear direction, and a clear path forward.
Therapy that fits you, not the other way around.
Our clinicians are trained across multiple evidence-based approaches. That means we're never locked into one way of helping you. We use what actually works for where you are right now.
The right therapist from the start.
We take the time to match you carefully before your first session. Not just whoever has availability, but the person best suited to what you're going through.
A practice that’s in it for the long game.
We accept Optum, UnitedHealthcare, & Aetna so cost doesn't have to be a barrier. And we are getting on more insurance panels as well. Because our goal is your independence, not your dependency, you'll always know we're working toward an endpoint, not just the next session.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
At present, we are in-network with Aetna and Optum/UnitedHealthcare.
We are also working to get panelled with more insurance providers to make it easier for clients to work with us.
For individuals who are not in-network with one of our insurance plans, our out-of-network fee for therapy is $250.00 per session.
-
We can still work together. Many plans in California include out of network (OON) benefits, meaning your insurer may reimburse you directly for part of each session even though we're not in their network.
Here's how that works. You pay the session fee upfront, and we give you a superbill, a receipt with the codes your insurer needs. You submit that to them, and if your plan has OON benefits, you get reimbursed directly. The exact percentage depends on your specific plan. We always recommend contacting your insurance to see if they will accept superbills for your sessions.
What we’d recommend is reaching out to us with your insurance card at the ready. On the call, we can collect all the information we'd need to check your benefits and will send you what we find as soon as possible. -
Yes. For most concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma, online therapy gets the same results as in-person. You're working with the same licensed clinician and the same treatment plan, just without the drive.
-
Yes. If you're covered by Aetna, Optum, or UnitedHealthcare, your online sessions are billed the same way as an in-person visit. If you have a different plan, many PPO plans still offer out-of-network reimbursement, and we can walk you through that on your free consultation call.
-
No. Our goal from day one is to give you a treatment plan with an actual endpoint, not open-ended weekly sessions. We want you to leave with the tools to manage on your own.
-
Before your first session, we take the time to understand what you're going through and match you with the clinician best suited to it, not just whoever has an opening.
-
That's common. If something feels off and therapy alone hasn't given you clarity, testing can help identify what's actually going on, whether that's ADHD, autism, or a learning difference. We offer both under one roof.
