No year is without its challenges but 2021 was doing the most.

As we walk into the New Year with intentionality, we reflect upon 2021 - the barriers we have overcome, the milestones we have achieved and silver linings in everything.

✨2021 was Peak’s second year of providing 100% remote mental health services.

✨Through flexibility and a dash of creativity we have been able to virtually connect with all of you in the comfort of your own space. This has also allowed our team to achieve true work-life balance which means they are able to show up energized, present and excited to connect with YOU!

✨Peak was nominated as the best Mental Health Organization and brought home Bronze in Star Tribune’s “Minnesota’s Best.” This is a huge accomplishment because we are small fish in a big pond, but we are obviously making a big splash! 🐠

✨Our founder Porsche Peak Gordin was interviewed and appeared on several news stations throughout the year talking about the disparity of mental health services among marginalized groups and the importance of understanding stigma as a means to work through it.

✨Peak had a 500% year over year increase of services provided to individuals, couples and families seeking mental health services. We are so proud of our communities and have high goals of continuing this growth in 2022.

✨Peak now provides Medication Management Services. This means we are officially an integrative behavioral health clinic that is looking at the whole you.

We can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store for us and are so grateful you all are part of our journey. A huge thank you to our team, our clients, our community and everyone who has helped us along the way!

"John Gottman from the Gottman Institute has done extensive research regarding relationships and what makes them happy.

One of the more interesting findings is about the magic ratio. After examining couples and how they dealt with conflict, it seemed that happy couples for who love lasts show five positive interactions for each negative one.

[...]So, let’s say there is a conflict between a couple where one criticizes the other. Then, to resolve this conflict they can try positive interactions, which for example are showing empathy, apologizing, being affectionate, showing appreciation or interest."

Good tips on when to seek therapy/counseling!

When should you explore couples counseling?

We typically feel most confident in areas of our lives where we have support, and our relationships are no different. Research shows that couples who seek help early have the best chance of thriving even during difficult times. It can be especially helpful to seek guidance for yourself and your loved one during big life events and transitions.

Working with a trained professional is an investment in your relationship and overall well-being. On the Gottman Relationship Blog, Terri A. Ammirati, LCPC (Ammirati Counseling) offers tips to help you seek support for your relationship: https://bit.ly/2Zv2UW5

A word!

You read this and immediately pictured someone, didn’t you?

Reposting from .lab Sometimes we all need a healthy dose of ‘shut-up’ 😳😅

There are times where we need to be silence and listen. And do so without the use of our ‘inner lawyer’. To keep it 💯, sometimes we don’t press in to silence because we don’t like what it reveals about ourselves. 👌🏿

Let’s lead by listening. Keep pushing ✊🏿

Yes!! This is true of any age!

To be clear, when people's emotions are high, their logic and language are low. Connect. Hold space. Be. Works well with anyone having big feelings.

Knowledge is power!
