Deirdre Hughes
OTD, OTR/L, CHT
Deirdre is an occupational therapist and certified hand therapist with over 23 years of experience, dedicated to helping people restore use of their hands and arms so they can return to the activities they love most. She graduated from Florida International University in 2001 and earned her CHT credential in 2007. In 2023, she completed her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Rocky Mountain University, further strengthening her commitment to evidence-based, client-centered therapy.
From home health to various outpatient clinics, Deirdre has honed her expertise while cultivating a deeply personalized, holistic approach to care. She is passionate about helping people regain their function and confidence—whether recovering from surgery, managing an injury, or navigating a chronic condition. She brings the same dedication, curiosity, and joy from her everyday life into the care she provides creating an environment where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered.
In her free time, you will likely find her flowing through a yoga practice, getting in a good workout, exploring new places, or spending time with her beloved fur babies, Gabby and Simmy.
Adriana Mendonca
PT DPT
Adriana graduated from physical therapy school in 1994 and went on to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2018. Throughout her career, she has gained experience in a variety of clinical settings, ultimately discovering her true passion for geriatric care. She is dedicated to helping older adults maintain mobility, independence, and quality of life through personalized, compassionate, and evidence-based interventions.
Adriana is family-oriented and believes that life is built on connection, presence, and shared experiences. Travel is one of her greatest passions—She loves discovering new cultures through local cuisine, regional dishes, and traditional recipes that tell the story of each place.
Spending time fishing with her son is one of her favorite ways to recharge. Those moments on the water restore her energy and remind her of what truly matters. Nature brings her peace, especially bird watching, where observing wildlife offers grounding, calm, and perspective.
She also prioritizes physical strength and well-being through regular time at the gym. At home, she enjoys caring for her plants, something that fuels her love for growth, nurturing, and harmony in everyday life. For Adriana, life is about family, nature, movement, adventure, and intentional living.
