Harnessing Your Power:

Peak Performance, Resilience & Well-Being

Carli Braun Kody, PhD, LP, CDWF

Licensed Psychologist in Private Practice. Co-Founder of mPEAK Team. Certified Mindfulness Coach. Speaker.​

What I Do

I am a licensed psychologist and private practice owner, Co-Founder of mPEAK Team, mPEAK Coach, mindfulness teacher, and speaker. I offer a variety of in-person and online workshops, coaching, psychotherapy, and public speaking offerings on the application of mindfulness skills for performance optimization, stress resilience, and well-being. My psychology practice is rooted in the neuroscience of mindfulness, research-based methodologies, and an unwavering belief that human connection is a powerful catalyst for healing, growth, and the pursuit of excellence. With 23 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring decades of psychology expertise to my work with individuals, groups, teams, and organizations. I'm fiercely dedicated to service and empowering courageous, resilient lives.

My Passions

I am passionate about increasing clients’ capacities for living fully and performing optimally, maximizing creativity in the pursuit of excellence, and cultivating trusted, loving relationships. I draw heavily from neuroscience and physiology in my approach to emotion regulation, attention/focus mastery, and execution of peak performance behaviors. I am also an expert in narrative/identity work and love supporting clients in harnessing the power of their performance stories. This work is game-changing from the inside out and yields long-term growth and positive change.

I have a sweet spot for working with high performers and highly sensitive people (HSP). This group includes professionals juggling multiple life roles, medical providers, mental health providers, business leaders, legal professionals, educators, athletes, and parents striving to show up their best with their families and in life.

I am highly attuned to the neurodiverse brain and the unique challenges that come with living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), sensory processing issues, and other executive functioning challenges. I'm fiercely committed to helping my clients unlock their personal superpowers associated with neurodiversity.

Ben Durbin
​Co-Founder of mPEAK Team

Ben Durbin is a transitioning Navy Veteran, Performance Coach, and UCSD Certified mPEAK Coach. Ben discovered mindfulness while seeking methods to enhance his performance in military training. A lifelong student of self-mastery, he continued to learn physical and mental techniques to improve performance throughout his military career. After completing multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, he created a framework of mindfulness, breathwork, and movement that helped him heal from the cumulative effects of combat and post-traumatic stress.

Ben’s approach to self-mastery and mental performance includes mindfulness as a core contemplative practice that strengthens emotional regulation and builds self-agency. His practice is informed by a 27-year military career that includes many tours within the Naval Special Warfare community during wartime. Ben is passionate about serving others in their journey to heal, build empowered minds, and perform at peak levels in all aspects of life.


​Ben serves on the elite team at The Trident Approach, in addition to his work at mPEAK Team.
