He uses a relational approach in therapy and tailors his work based on the unique needs, lived experiences, and goals of each client. Dr. Serluco draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients identify factors that keep them feeling “stuck” in a particular issue (e.g. relationship issues, academic concerns, life transitions), develop skills for managing stressors, and foster change that helps clients live a more fulfilling and balanced life.
