Roxanna Decker
Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, CADC
Farmington, ME 04938
I work with individuals across the lifespan experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and emotional challenges.
I believe meaningful therapy begins with a trusting, respectful, and nonjudgmental relationship. Seeking counseling can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I see my role as walking alongside you as you work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. I also have a particular understanding of the challenges that can accompany substance use and recovery. I strive to approach these concerns with compassion and without judgment, recognizing that change is a personal process.

I'm an authentic counselor that can help you navigate the messy stuff in your life that you might want to figure out or change. Do you just need to talk something out to figure out what's next?

Farmington, ME 04938
I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, intimacy issues, trauma, stress, and self-esteem/self-worth issues.
Everyone needs someone to talk to about what they’re going through in their lives. As social creatures, we tend to turn to our friends, family, and partners to help us sort it out. Sometimes we’ll find ourselves telling the same stories and have awareness of what's going on, but unsure of what to do with that knowledge. I offer nature walk and talks to clients that would like to move their bodies while improving their mental health. Physically moving forward is also metaphorical. By actively changing our scenery and environment, we create distance from our past and make space for healthier patterns to emerge.

Hi, I’m Elle (pronounced like the letter L). I’m a human and a therapist and, like you, I’m probably browsing PsychologyToday profiles in the middle of the night. Why? Because I just about never know what to write here. I’m also somehow not a mind reader, I can’t predict the future, and I don’t hold the secrets to the universe, even if your favorite therapist on TV can do all that and more.

After my psychology doctorate I pursued further training in Jungian approaches and completed post-doctoral fellowships in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and trauma.
"I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray." These lines, from "The Layers", by Stanley Kunitz, hint at the themes we will explore if you decide to enter psychotherapy with me: Who have you been, and who are you now? What principle of being has shaped your life's journey thus far? Where and when did you disregard this principle? And how may I support you in your effort to recognize and honor your most authentic self?

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
