Our philosophy

Communication is more than words.

It is how we connect, take part, express who we are, build relationships, learn, and engage with the world around us. That is what we are working toward, not a list of isolated skills practiced at a table.

Our approach is individualized, relationship-centered, and rooted in real life. We meet each person where they are, honoring their strengths, interests, communication style, culture, and goals, and we create real opportunities to practice: everyday interactions, play, learning, social connection, and the activities that matter to them.

This person actually sees me.

What we hope every client and family feels after the first visit.

How therapy looks here

Gentle, hands-on, and built around you.

Four things shape every session, whether we're on a screen together or on the floor of the office.

  • The whole person

    Attention, regulation, sensory needs, relationships and confidence all shape how someone communicates. We plan for all of it, not just the speech goal.

  • Interest and real experiences

    Sessions are built around what already matters to you, so new words and skills have somewhere real to live.

  • Movement and regulation

    A body that feels settled can listen, connect and try new things. Moving, resting, and finding a calm state are part of the work, not a break from it.

  • Relationship first

    Trust comes before targets. We go at your pace, and we bring you in as a partner in the process, not a spectator.

Where the learning happens

Communication skills, practiced where they'll actually be used.

Waiting, noticing, and naming what changes from one week to the next.

Attention · Describing · Patience

Creating

Planning something, solving the problems along the way, and telling the story of what you made.

From first words to finding your own voice.

Daniela's special interest

Ages 3 to 12 · Preschool & school age

Growing into language

Speech and language support that helps them take part more confidently at home, in the classroom, and with their peers: speech sounds, understanding and using language, and the language underneath reading and writing.

Finding their voice

A strong focus on social communication and pragmatic language: navigating conversations, relationships, perspective-taking, self-advocacy, and the social demands of everyday life.

Adults

Communication that fits real life

Support for speech clarity, language, social communication, bilingual needs, and rebuilding confidence at work, at home, and in the community.

Teletherapy

Live video sessions with practical coaching, wherever you are.

Hands-on sessions in a calm, prepared space in Jacksonville, FL.

These areas are a starting point. Reach out and we'll talk through what you actually need.

Services & Pricing

Personalized support for communication, connection, and everyday growth.

Every person communicates in their own way. My goal is to understand your child's strengths, identify where they may need support, and help your family feel confident throughout the journey. Services are available in English and Spanish, with options for in-office, virtual, and in-home support.

  • Introductory Call

    Free | 15 minutes

    A chance to connect, share your concerns, and ask initial questions about my services. We'll discuss whether my approach may be a good fit for your family.

  • Speech & Language Screening

    $35

    A brief check of your child's speech and language skills to help identify whether additional support or a comprehensive evaluation may be beneficial. A screening is a starting point, not a diagnosis.

  • Parent Consultation

    $50 | 30 minutes

    Sometimes you need guidance before beginning therapy. We can discuss your concerns, explore practical strategies, and talk about ways to support communication at home. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions about your child's development.

  • Comprehensive Speech & Language Evaluation

    $300

    A personalized assessment to understand your child's communication strengths and areas where they may need support. This evaluation establishes a baseline, helps us set meaningful goals, and guides decisions about the type and frequency of therapy that may be most beneficial.

    You'll receive recommendations tailored to your child's needs and your family's priorities. Follow-up evaluations are typically considered every 6–12 months, or when clinically appropriate, to monitor progress and update goals.

  • Re-evaluation

    $200

    An opportunity to review your child's progress, celebrate growth, and identify what support may be helpful next. We'll update goals and recommendations based on your child's current communication skills and needs.

  • Teletherapy

    $75 | 30 minutes

    Personalized speech and language therapy from the comfort of home. Sessions use engaging, interactive activities to support communication skills while helping families incorporate strategies into everyday routines.

  • In-Office Therapy

    $80 | 30 minutes

    Individualized, play-based therapy in a welcoming environment where children can explore, build skills, and communicate with confidence. Activities are tailored to each child's interests, goals, and developmental needs.

  • In-Home Early Intervention

    $110 | 45 minutes

    Support your little one's communication where it naturally happens: at home! These visits combine child-centered therapy with parent coaching and modeling. I'll show you practical ways to encourage language during everyday routines, such as mealtime, getting dressed, reading books, playing, and exploring together.

    The goal is to help you recognize communication opportunities throughout the day and feel confident supporting your child's growth long after our visit ends.

All services are individualized to your child's needs. Additional travel fees may apply for in-home visits outside the standard service area. Please contact me to discuss availability, service options, and payment.

The office

A calm, prepared space in Jacksonville.

Soft light, a low table, real materials, and room to move. It's set up so clients can settle in quickly and work in their own way — and so caregivers have a comfortable place to join when they're part of the session.

About Daniela

Daniela Duarte, M.S., CCC-SLP

Hi, I'm Daniela! I'm a bilingual speech-language pathologist and native Spanish speaker who is passionate about helping people connect, communicate, and feel understood.

My own experience learning English taught me how challenging it can be to know what you want to say but not yet have the words to express your thoughts, personality, or feelings the way you would like. That experience deepened my appreciation for how much communication shapes our confidence, relationships, and sense of self. It continues to influence the way I support individuals and families, honoring not only the skills we're building, but also the person behind every word.

Today, as both a speech-language pathologist and a mom to a little girl, I see language development from a whole new perspective. Watching my daughter grow has deepened my appreciation for how communication blossoms through everyday routines, shared books, play, and little moments of discovery—and how much children communicate before they have all the words.

Whether I'm supporting a child's first words, helping a family find new ways to connect, or working with an adult to rebuild communication skills, my approach is gentle, individualized, and grounded in what matters most to each person. I believe communication is about so much more than words. It's about connection, identity, independence, and being able to participate in the moments that make life meaningful.
