About Alma
Alma is a Certified Somatic Practitioner with 17 years of clinical experience and more than a decade specializing in somatic-based therapy across Latin America and the United States. Her work integrates evidence-informed somatic therapies with mind-body practices that support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and deeper self-awareness. She holds a B.A. in Psychology and is currently a student working toward her Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology, with a concentration in Somatic Psychology.
Alma has advanced training in trauma-informed modalities, including somatic psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing®, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, NeuroAffective Touch®, and emotional intelligence work. She has completed training in the Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model (RITTM), along with specialized trauma training with Janina Fisher focused on freeze responses, parts work, and fragmented selves. She is also a certified yoga instructor and personal trainer, with further study in Reiki and other holistic healing practices.
Earlier in Villa de Leyva, Colombia, Alma founded a Body Mind center, where she combined somatic therapy with nature-based and adventure-focused experiences to help clients reconnect with their bodies, build confidence, and develop practical tools for healing and growth. She is registered with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), and earlier in her career she spent eight years in forensic work, contributing to research related to suicide, domestic violence, and assault.
Alma’s approach reflects a core belief at the heart of Reconnect Center: trauma lives in the body as much as the mind, and lasting healing means caring for the whole person. Outside the therapy room, she finds grounding in nature, rock climbing, hiking, and time in the mountains — experiences that continue to shape her belief in each person’s capacity for resilience and meaningful change. Her guiding words: “Climbing the pinnacle of life, one rock at a time.”
Alma Valenzuela Moyer is part of the team at Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Center, a virtual trauma treatment center based in Los Angeles.
