Dr Duque has a special clinical interest in loss and grief, depression, anxiety and cognitive disorders, and trauma. She also treats burnout, depression and anxiety in the medical professional in both individual and process group settings. Her treatment approach is combined psychodynamic and medical, with focus on attachment, development, biological background, current stressors, and the interplay of these factors in one’s life. A shared understanding of this in a safe treatment relationship is key to her patients gaining insight and working towards lasting and meaningful recovery. This is what she strives for with each of her patients.
