About
Dr. Afra Moenter
Dr. Moenter is the founder and clinical director of the Boulder Center for NeuroHealth. Her vision is simple: to bring together clinicians and healthcare providers with diverse expertise to support individuals diagnosed with FND.
With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Moenter believes that mindful connection, combined with a body-based approach, is key to healing the nervous system. She uses treatment approaches like biofeedback, mindfulness, and polyvagal-based techniques to help clients regulate their nervous system and experience symptom reduction.
At the Boulder Center, Dr. Moenter takes a whole-person approach, focusing on the body, mind, emotions, and spiritual aspects of the human experience. Her somatic-sensory-focused office is designed to provide a playful and healing space where clients can find relief through sensory regulation, movement education, yoga, trauma-informed psychotherapy, and nervous system healing.
Dr. Moenter holds a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Sciences with a focus on Psychology and a specialization in Neuropsychology, as well as an M.A. in Therapeutic Education. She is trained in various psychotherapeutic orientations, including Gestalt, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy®, Hakomi Somatics, Trauma Dynamics, as well as Group Dynamics which deepens her understanding of the nervous system. As a licensed clinician in Colorado, she also works as a clinical supervisor and founded FNDcourage, a nonprofit that educates professionals and the public about FND. Dr. Moenter is currently developing a training program for a diverse range of practitioners to treat people with FND comprehensivly. Her work is shaped by contemplative and mindfulness practices, inspired by teachers like Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chödrön, Thomas Merton, and John O’Donohue, and she is committed to guiding her clients toward healing with compassion and care.
