You Know This Feeling.
Work, family, relationships, responsibilities. They all demand something from you, all at once, all the time.
You feel like you're treading water. Like no matter how hard you try, you just can't keep up. Like the overwhelm isn't temporary anymore.
It's just how life feels now. And no matter how much you "take action", you never quite feel like you're making it through.
It's that quiet, persistent sense that something is off and has been for a long time.
What happens when therapy only addresses the surface and leaves the root untouched?
You end up right back where you started.
That's where we do things differently.
Here's What We Actually Do.
When you come to Duality Psych Services, we start by getting honest about where you are.
Not just what occurred, but how it lives in your body now.
What's pulling at your nerves? What's in your control and what isn't. Where you've been giving away your power without realizing it.
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'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 approaches including trauma-focused therapy, somatic techniques, EMDR, DBT, and cognitive approaches, we're never limited to one way of helping you.
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 and the skills to manage your own life, so that when therapy ends, you're ready.
You'll have a toolkit that's yours to keep. And if life gets hard again down the road, you'll know how to handle 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.
You'll find yourself responding instead of reacting and being triggered so easily.
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.
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 PPO 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.
What we’d recommend is reaching out to us with your insurance card at the ready. On the call we can look into whether your insurance plans would cover OON benefits.
-
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.
