For adults, Servando employs a diverse range of therapeutic methods, varying from existential to behavioral strategies based on the unique needs of each individual. A graduate of Seattle University, he has further honed his skills through specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family systems, and experiential methods.

His prior inpatient experience has enriched his understanding of mental health treatment, allowing him to work closely with psychologists and psychiatrists. This collaboration gives Servando a unique insight into how psychological testing and medication can complement therapy, informing his tailored treatment approaches for individuals and families.
