You're not falling apart. But you're not okay either.
Maybe you've tried therapy before and still ended up back in the same place.
Now it’s time to find your balance and reclaim your power.

Our Goal Is Simple: Get You Back in Control of Your Life.
Most people come to therapy talking about anxiety, or stress, or relationships. And those things are real.
Balance is the feeling of being steady no matter what life throws at you.
When both are gone, everything feels hard and overwhelming and that you just can't take it.
Power is the knowledge that you have the ability to create change in your life.
We don't just treat the symptoms of what you're going through. We help you find your true balance and power again.
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.
In these moments, it can feel like you’re carrying an invisible weight, something that burdens your mind day and night.
After all this, you’ve reached a point of simple realization: Things need to change.
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.
“What's keeping you up at night?“
“What's in your control and what isn't? “
“Where have you 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 evidence-based approaches including DBT, trauma-focused therapy, somatic techniques, 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.
Hi, we're the Psychologists & Therapists at 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The cost of your sessions depends on your insurance plan. If you're covered by Aetna or Optum/UnitedHealthcare, you'll only be responsible for your copay or deductible.
If you're with a different provider, our self-pay rate is $250 per session. You may be able to get reimbursed through your plan's out-of-network benefits.
Not sure what applies to you? Reach out and we'll help you figure it out. -
Yes — and it's worth understanding why. When you pay through insurance, your treatment plan is subject to your insurance company's approval. That means they can limit which tools, assessments, and therapeutic approaches your clinician is allowed to use. And those restrictions don't always align with what's actually best for you.
When you self-pay, your clinician has full freedom to draw on their training and expertise to build a treatment plan around your specific goals, without outside interference. For psychological testing, this matters a great deal — thorough assessments take time and precision, and insurance coverage often falls short of what a complete evaluation actually requires.
The short version: self-pay means your care is guided by your clinician, not your coverage.
-
Yes! Our service is covered by these In-Network Insurance Plans:
Aetna
Optum/UnitedHealthcare
If you have a different insurance provider, you may still be able to use your benefits. Fill out the form below and we'll help you understand your options before your first appointment.
-
Possibly, yes. Many insurance plans include out-of-network benefits for mental health services. If yours does, you'd pay $250 at the time of your session and we'd provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
We recommend calling your insurance provider to confirm your out-of-network coverage. If you have questions, we're happy to help walk you through it.
-
The number of therapy sessions required depends on the individual, couple, or family. Some people can process their struggles quicker than others. Some people become so affected while exploring their distress that the process needs to evolve slowly. The goal is to work with you to find a cadence that fits your life and supports your growth
