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 the Dunkin Nervous System Restoration Program™ .
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 who feel stuck, even after traditional therapy. We focus on how 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 so treatment can treat and then move forward in the right order. We often work with clients referred for complex trauma or cases where progress has been difficult.
We integrate Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and our Nervous System Restoration Method™ powered by the Dunkin NeuroMap™ 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 feel stuck
• Complex or developmental trauma
• Emotional overwhelm or shutdown patterns
• Anxiety that doesn’t fully resolve
• Clients wanting a structured treatment plan
Step 1: Assessment before Treatment
Dunkin NeuroMap™ identifies where regulation breaks down, where the nervous system gets stuck, and what to treat first. This allows therapy to follow a clear plan instead of trial and error. We map 5 parts of the brain the medulla, pons, diencephalon, limbic system and then target treatment at the stressed area.
Step 2: Three Phase Step by Step Treatment Plan
Healing follows a developmental sequence: safety first, then connection, then integration.
Phase 1-Nervous System Stabilization
What clients often notice:
Feeling slightly calmer day to day
Less emotional flooding
Improved sleep patterns
Fewer shutdown or panic responses
Better ability to use coping skills
Feeling safer in their body
What this phase builds:
Regulation capacity
Safety before trauma work
Nervous system flexibility
Foundation for deeper treatment
Why this matters:
Without stabilization, trauma processing often becomes overwhelming or stalls.
Phase 2- Attachment & Regulation
What clients often notice:
Trauma memories feel less intense
Reduced emotional triggers
Increased emotional tolerance
Less avoidance
Hope for connection with others
Feeling less “stuck” in old patterns
What this phase builds:
Safe trauma processing
Nervous system tolerance
Emotional integration
Reduced reactivity
Why this matters:
Trauma work is most effective when the nervous system has enough regulation to process without retraumatizaion.
Phase 3- Integration & Restoration
What clients often notice:
Greater confidence
More consistent emotional stability
Stronger relationships
Increased resilience under stress
Ability to recover faster after setbacks
Feeling more like themselves
What this phase builds:
Long-term nervous system resilience
Identity stability
Relationship capacity
Sustainable emotional health
Why this matters:
Treatment is not just about reducing symptoms, but helping clients function with strength and stability long-term.
Nervous System Progress is evaluated through:
Dunkin NeuroMap™ retesting
Nervous system pattern changes
Symptom reduction
Functional improvement
Phase indicators
Dunkin NeuroMap™ helps clients:
Create a clear treatment roadmap
Identify nervous system patterns
Sequence treatment in the right order
Measure progress through retesting
What clients often experience as they move through the phases:
Feeling calmer and less reactive
Improved emotional control
Reduced overwhelm
Better sleep and recovery
Increased confidence
Therapy finally moving forward
This is not general therapy. This is a structured trauma treatment model. Like physical rehabilitation, this work is most effective when followed as a structured process rather than occasional sessions.

“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 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.

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.
