The Experience

At Mallory Creek Retreat, every moment is designed to foster self-discovery, emotional resilience, and personal growth. 

Through a combination of guided discussions, experiential activities, and expert-led interventions, guests gain the tools to overcome emotional burdens, confront fears, and develop lasting psychological strength.

What You’ll Experience

Rational Emotive Discussions

Walk through scenic wilderness trails while engaging in deep psychological discussions based on Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Led by Dr. Mike and Dr. Lidia Abrams, these sessions challenge negative thought patterns, helping you reshape your mindset and approach to life’s challenges.

Social Stresses & Guilt Release

Break free from social anxieties through Shame and Guilt Attacks, a technique designed to desensitize you to judgment, rejection, and self-criticism. This method encourages radical self-acceptance and emotional freedom.

Discussions by the Pond

Relax by our tranquil pond while exploring what truly works in psychology. Engage in open, evidence-based discussions about proven techniques for managing anxiety, depression, and emotional distress.

Fear Challenges (ATV Rides)

Fear is best confronted head-on. Navigate all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) through our mountain trails while learning how to break down fear responses and regain control over anxious thoughts. Perfect for those struggling with uncertainty, avoidance behaviors, or a fear of risk-taking.

Group Discussions & Peer Guidance

Learn how to lead others toward mental well-being through structured group discussions. Our small-group format (max. 4 guests) ensures deep personal connections and meaningful conversations.

Psychological Tests & Self-Discovery

Through in-depth psychological assessments, uncover the hidden origins of your emotional struggles and personality traits. Gain insights into your unique thought patterns and emotional responses with the guidance of our expert clinicians.

Zone Jogs & Speed Walks

Experience the power of flow psychology—a mental state of complete immersion—through meditative jogging and mindful speed walking. These activities train you to stay fully present, releasing stress and overthinking.

Existential Fear Exercises

Many of life’s anxieties stem from fears of mortality and the unknown. Our unique existential therapy exercises help reframe death and impermanence, making them less relevant to your daily emotional landscape.

One-on-One Counseling Sessions

Each guest receives three private therapy sessions with Dr. Mike, Dr. Lidia, or one of our PhD-level clinicians. These sessions target your specific challenges, providing evidence-based strategies for personal growth and healing.

Vegan & Vegetarian Healing Cuisine

Nourish both mind and body with light, health-conscious meals designed to support emotional rejuvenation. Our plant-based menu is crafted to enhance mental clarity and energy.

Zone Exercises & Social Bonding

Engage in reverse score paddle sports, group wall climbs, and interactive team challenges to develop strong social bonds and understand the core of interpersonal stressors.

Bibliotherapy & Guided Readings

Each participant receives a curated selection of books by Drs. Abrams on CBT, sexuality, and personality. These resources provide practical strategies to apply your retreat insights in everyday life.
