Trauma Therapy That Starts With the Nervous System

A structured nervous-system treatment process for trauma, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation.

We help children, teens, and adults heal complex trauma through neuroscience-informed trauma therapy: Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, BASE, and Dunkin NeuroMap™ Trauma Treatment.

Serving Aledo, Willow Park, Weatherford, Hudson Oaks, Fort Worth, Parker County, Tarrant County and Texas.

14 Peaks specializes in neurophysiological trauma treatment for individuals who remain stuck despite previous therapy.

Healing begins when the nervous system can come out of survival mode.

Our treatment begins with understanding the nervous system. At 14 Peaks, we specialize in trauma treatment for people whose progress has stalled, even after traditional therapy. We focus on finding where trauma is held in the nervous system. Is it in a startle response, tight shoulders, migraines, etc? Which part of the brain is staying on alert?

We identify where your nervous system needs support allowing treatment to move forward in the right order. We often work with clients who have complex trauma or cases where progress has been difficult.

We integrate Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and our Dunkin NeuroMap™ Trauma Treatment so therapy stops feeling like trial and error and starts following a clear plan.

Who this works best for:

• People who have tried therapy but still experience symptoms
• Complex or developmental trauma
• Emotional overwhelm or shutdown patterns
• Anxiety or depression that doesn’t fully resolve
• Clients wanting a structured treatment plan

Trauma

  • PTSD

Many of these challenges share one root: nervous system dysregulation. Our treatment process focuses on addressing that foundation first.

Most trauma therapy starts with processing memories.

At 14 Peaks we start by strengthening the nervous system that must hold that work.

When regulation comes first, treatment moves faster, safer, and with less retraumatization.


Step 1: Dunkin NeuroMap™ Assessment

Your first step is completing the Dunkin NeuroMap™ assessment. This helps us understand how your nervous system is functioning and where support is needed most.

Instead of guessing where to begin, this gives us a clear picture of what your system needs first.

After your assessment, we review the results together and decide whether this structured treatment approach is the right fit for you.

Step 2: If We Move Forward — A Clear Treatment Plan

If you choose to move forward, treatment follows a clear, step-by-step process designed to help your nervous system heal in the right order:

Stabilization – Building regulation and safety
Regulation & Processing – Addressing trauma safely
Integration – Strengthening long-term resilience

Progress is guided through symptom improvement, functional changes, and NeuroMap retesting.

Treatment With Direction

Dunkin NeuroMap™ provides a clear roadmap so therapy does not feel like guesswork. You and your therapist know where you are starting, what you are working toward, and how progress is measured.

Dunkin NeuroMap™ is designed to help therapy feel structured, intentional, and clearly moving forward.

Developed by Dr. Kimberly Dunkin, the Dunkin NeuroMap™ provides a structured treatment roadmap for complex trauma.

Understanding the Nervous System Changes Everything

You weren’t broken.

Development got interrupted.

Dunkin NeuroMap™ helps complete the developmental process that trauma disrupted.

“The single most important issue for traumatized people is to find a sense of safety in their own bodies”

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 mountain 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.

  • 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. We may spend 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.
