Wendy Dorfman, PLPC

Hi, I’m Wendy. My pronouns are she and her. I moved here from Maryland in 2019. I’m still adjusting to the local culture & customs, including regularly seeing alligators. I’m an advocate for the Queer community and the vice-president of the Acadiana Queer Collective.

 

I practice from a person-centered approach, which means that I know YOU are the expert of your life. I understand that everyone is different, and sessions will be personalized for you. I offer strengths-based, holistic therapy and will work collaboratively with you to get you where you want to be. I believe the relationship between client and counselor is one of the most important factors in therapy. I strive to cultivate a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment.

 

I work with teens and adults who want to improve their behavioral health, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, sexual and/or gender identity, and relationship issues. I’m multiculturally competent and enjoy working with LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities.

Becca is a therapist who focuses on trauma recovery/healing, embodiment, healing the relationship with the body and food,  lgbtq+ trauma and spiritual and religious trauma recovery. Additionally, she enjoys working with adults, teens and children to overcome and work through day to day struggles/stress and anxiety. 


Becca sees in practice that healing the relationship between mind and body begins the healing process and defies the narrative of trauma. Through trauma-informed practices Becca supports clients as they move through trauma and restore more of the whole self as both an embodied and brave space.

Becca believes in an eclectic style of psychotherapy. That means each person will have an entirely different experience in therapy.

Our bodies hold trauma that only builds if we do not address it. Addressing it can be scary and doing it alone can make the task of healing feel impossible. "Your body is sacred, your body is worth healing, and you are capable of recovering from trauma." - Becca Bowers

Becca often combines EMDR with talk therapy and ecotherapy when working with the client overcoming trauma. In other cases she focuses on embodiment through trauma informed movement and advanced EMDR training. For clients experiencing stress and anxiety she focuses on guidance and coping skills with talk psychotherapies such as CBT and ACT. Becca works with clients as young as 1 years old through older aged adults.

Becca is a climate change aware therapist, an lgbtq+ ally and advocate in the Lafayette community both in and out of the voting booth. 

Becca has obtained advanced EMDR trainings and consultation in the specialized areas of dissociation, spiritual trauma, sandtray therapy and adapting EMDR for children. She regularly engages in studying, reading and research on topics around body image, disordered eating and embodiment.

Outside of being a therapist Becca is a mother, a lover of flowers and pollinators, and she makes an excellent gumbo.
