Hard is not impossible.

At 14 Peaks, we believe true healing begins when the body feels safe.

Only when your nervous system is regulated can you feel truly seen, heard, and known. We exist to help you move out of survival and into connection. We begin with a simple but powerful question:

Who is this human before me? What makes this make sense?

What sets us apart is how we approach healing. We don’t just talk, we listen to the your body. By integrating both mind and body, we uncover how trauma is stored in your nervous system and guide you back toward a state of safety.

Instead of focusing on talk therapy, we offer something different, a neuroscience-based, integrative path to trauma resolution.

We help reset your stuck nervous system so that healing can begin not just in the brain, but in the body.

Ready to help your nervous system feel safe again?
Contact us today to schedule a consultation, and take the first step toward a regulated nervous system.

Understanding the Nervous System Changes Everything

A Neurophysiological Assessment of Current Nervous System Stress

Dunkin NeuroMap™ is a proprietary neurophysiological assessment designed to identify how early developmental stress and trauma may have shaped nervous system organization across key brain levels.

Rather than focusing on diagnosis or symptom checklists alone, NeuroMap™ helps clients understand where the nervous system is organized for survival, where development may have been disrupted, and how to sequence treatment safely and effectively. This helps your therapist sequence treatment and guide you to create new neural networks (rewire the brain through experience).

Developmental trauma and stress, particularly during prenatal development and early childhood, can influence foundational regulation systems responsible for safety, sensory integration, arousal, stress response, and emotional regulation. When these systems are shaped under chronic stress, the brain adapts for survival, often at the expense of flexibility, regulation, and connection. The brain over or under prunes synapses.

Dunkin NeuroMap™ translates these patterns into a map that supports treatment planning, pacing, and client regulation through our proprietary training program Dunkin NeuroMap™ Core 3 NeuroTraining: Our three phase training consisting of Core 1: STRENGTH (regulation and safety), Core 2: SPEED (myelination and connection) and Core 3: Power (integration and flexilblity).

What Dunkin NeuroMap™ Assesses

Dunkin NeuroMap™ evaluates nervous system functioning across five neurodevelopmental levels:

  • Medulla – foundational regulation, safety, physiological stability

  • Pons – sensory processing, arousal modulation, sleep, rhythm, movement

  • Diencephalon – stress response, energy regulation, threat detection

  • Limbic – emotion, attachment, relational patterns

  • Cortex – cognition, insight, executive functioning

Each level is scored and banded to indicate relative stability or strain, helping clinicians determine where to begin, what to pace, and what not to push too early.

Common Patterns NeuroMap™ May Reveal

Individuals with developmental trauma histories may experience patterns such as:

  • Difficulty settling the body or remaining still

  • Sensory sensitivities or under-responsiveness

  • Emotional reactivity or shutdown

  • Challenges with coordination, tracking, or rhythm

  • Chronic stress activation or fatigue

  • Physical symptoms without clear medical explanation

  • Relational insecurity or attachment strain

These patterns are not viewed as pathology, but as adaptive nervous system responses shaped by early experience.

How Dunkin NeuroMap™ Is Used

Dunkin NeuroMap™ supports your clinician in:

  • Identifying neurodevelopmental priorities

  • Sequencing interventions from the bottom-up

  • Avoiding premature cognitive or insight-based work

  • Explaining nervous system patterns to clients in a non-shaming way

  • Supporting regulation, integration, and long-term healing

  • Help build new neural pathways

Dunkin NeuroMap™ integrates seamlessly with EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, neurodevelopmental approaches, and other trauma-informed modalities. It is not a replacement of these therapist, it works alongside.

Important Note

Dunkin NeuroMap™ is not a diagnosis and does not replace clinical judgment.


It is a clinical decision-support tool designed to enhance understanding, pacing, and effectiveness of treatment.

“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.
