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™ Method 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

You weren’t broken.

Development got interrupted.

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


The Dunkin NeuroMap™ is a structured neurophysiological assessment and treatment process designed to identify: patterns in nervous system regulation, developmental trauma, stress responses, and functional resilience.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, the NeuroMap™ helps identify how different brain systems may be impacting emotional, relational, cognitive, behavioral, and physical functioning.

Treatment is guided through a structured process designed to support healing in the order the brain develops:

Stabilization — Building nervous system regulation and foundational stability
Emotional Regulation & Connection — Learning to manage emotions in the presence of a relationship
Integration — Strengthening long-term resilience, functioning, and flexibility

The process begins with a Dunkin NeuroMap™ assessment and clinical debrief with a Dunkin NeuroMap™ therapist.

Step 1: Clinical Assessment & Debrief Session

Includes:

  • Dunkin NeuroMap™ Assessment

  • Personalized Clinical Debrief

  • Nervous System Mapping Review

  • Treatment recommendations & next steps

  • Determination for program fit

Step 2: Invitation into the Dunkin NeuroMap™ Program

  • Individual Sessions following a structured protocol

  • Personalized treatment plan following your brain hierarchy

  • Re-assessments to measure progress

  • Evolving treatment plan as progress occurs

  • Dunkin NeuroMap™ workbook

  • Group sessions during Phase 2

  • Three-Phase treatment plan

  • Step-by-step guide to each lesson

If clinically appropriate, participants may be invited into the Dunkin NeuroMap™ Program following the assessment process.

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

Our clinicians use advanced trauma-informed approaches that support the neurophysiological treatment process, including somatic, attachment-based, and neuroscience-informed therapies.

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.

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.

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