Neurophysiological Trauma Treatment-Developmental (NPT-D) Assessment
Our proprietary treatment for developmental trauma
Developmental trauma, especially in the first 18 months of life, can result from various factors like birth trauma, lack of crawling, primal reflexes not integrating, adverse events, medical trauma, in-utero trauma, or relational trauma. These gaps in brain development may stem from childhood events such as medical procedures, illnesses, NICU stays, natural disasters, in-utero trauma, and neglect, particularly within the first three years of life.
Signs of developmental trauma include:
- Lack of crawling as an infant
- Restlessness in sitting
- Reading or tracking difficulties
- Unexplained physical symptoms
- Easy emotional dysregulation
- Inappropriate emotional responses
- Coordination issues
- Unexplained medical conditions
- Autoimmune diseases
-High ACE Scores
Our team specializes in assessing and treating developmental trauma. Our assessment identifies deficits in brain development based on motor skills and primal reflex integration. Treatment targets brainstem deficits controlling autonomic functions, aiming to stimulate brain healing.
If you score 7 or more on the Neurophysiological Trauma Treatment-Developmental assessment screener, developmental trauma may be present.

Why the name 14 Peaks?
The name comes from the experience of being on top of a "fourteener" – a mountain at 14,000 feet of elevation. At this height, breathing becomes difficult, making the journey hard, yet incredibly beautiful. Hard is not impossible.
This parallels the challenges we face in life. We can tackle difficult tasks, and while they may seem daunting, they are not impossible. Reaching the top of the moutain is both beautiful and invigorating, much like the top of a fourteener.
Additionally, it is freeing and life-giving at the top of the mountain. This is why the polyvagal chart on this website ends at 14. It represents a playful, peaceful place for connection with nature and others.
Recently a Netflix documentary came out with the same name. The goal of Nims, a Neapalian climber, was to climb all fourteen peaks which are above 8,000m, at a world record pace. It is an incredible film that embodies the same reasons I chose the name 14 Peaks.

The fee structure for therapy at 14 Peaks is as follows. We stagger our prices to ensure that trauma treatment is accessible to everyone in need. As a teaching facility, we offer internships to Masters-level students, which allows us to provide excellent therapy at a more affordable rate.
What makes this approach especially valuable is that, in addition to receiving care from the Masters-level intern, your case will be supervised by an experienced professional. All cases are regularly reviewed and guided, ensuring expert oversight. We also hold case consultations and educational sessions, supporting our clinicians and enhancing their expertise in trauma therapy. This process ensures that you are receiving the best possible care.

Therapists spend many hours outside of your scheduled session preparing. Therapists are legally obligated to take notes on every session, create a treatment plan, make a good faith estimate, and consult with treatment providers such as a psychiatrist. Typically we spend up to 30 minutes per client, per week, outside of session.
At our practice, we often spend 5-6 hours a week obtaining new skills and certifications based on neuroscience findings. We study often to help our clients heal in the best and most effective way possible.
Suppose we are unfamiliar with a case or diagnosis and it is within our scope of practice. In that case, we will case consult, research, and seek certifications to be the best clinician possible.
We strive to be very effective therapists. The more we study, the more effective is therapy, thus shortening treatment times.
Therapist fees increase when they receive a new certification, a licensure change or are trained in a new modality. This makes each session more effective for clients. Therapists often train on the weekends and in between sessions. Certifications in a new modality often cost the clinician up to $15,000. We feel it is worth it as it helps the clients, which is our ultimate goal.
“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not however have to be a life sentence.”
