Samantha Decker

Hello, I’m Sam.

 

I am a Clinical Psychologist based at our Melbourne CBD clinic on Little Collins Street, with telehealth also available. I have over eight years’ experience across private practice, public and community health, research and inpatient settings.

 

I currently work with adults, and I’m comfortable supporting people across a broad range of presentations. I use a range of therapeutic modalities, for example cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) , acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), solution focused and compassion focused therapy, among others. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach so I work with each person to find what suits them, which may mean drawing on a mix of interventions.

 

I work in a practical, forward-focused way and take a holistic view of what’s brought someone in, not just their mental health but sleep, movement, routine, relationships, work/study, as all these factors influence our wellbeing. My aim is to create a safe space where people can feel genuinely heard and we can work together as a team to meet their goals.
