About Claire Duque
Compassionate & Professional
My professional journey began over 20 years ago as a Support Worker, where I provided support to children with autism and other disabilities.
My experiences there laid the groundwork for a compassionate approach to therapy.
In 2022, I founded my private practice, allowing me to balance professional commitments with my role as a mother.
I quickly established a steady client base providing traditional OT services such as daily living skills, emotional regulation interventions, and community integration.
