At Mallory Creek Retreat, you step into a space designed for self-discovery, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Every moment challenges you to break through barriers, shift your mindset, and build lasting psychological strength.
Through a carefully balanced mix of guided discussions, experiential activities, and expert-led interventions, guests gain the tools to overcome emotional burdens, confront fears, and develop lasting psychological strength.
As you walk through scenic wilderness trails, engage in deep psychological discussions based on Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Led by Dr. Mike and Dr. Lidia Abrams, these sessions help challenge negative thought patterns, enabling you to reshape your mindset and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.
Many struggle with anxiety related to social interactions. To help, we use Shame and Guilt Attacks, a powerful technique that desensitizes you to judgment, rejection, and self-criticism. This method fosters radical self-acceptance and emotional freedom, allowing you to break free from unnecessary guilt.
Take a moment to unwind by our tranquil pond while engaging in evidence-based discussions about effective psychological techniques. In these sessions, you’ll explore proven methods for managing anxiety, depression, and emotional distress - all in a calming natural setting.
Fear is best confronted head-on. That’s why we incorporate fear-challenging activities, such as navigating all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) through our mountain trails. These experiences help you understand how fear responses work while building resilience against anxiety, uncertainty, and avoidance behaviors.
Our structured small-group discussions (limited to just 4 guests) encourage deep personal connections and meaningful conversations. You’ll not only gain personal insights but also learn how to guide others toward mental well-being.
Through in-depth psychological assessments, uncover the hidden origins of your emotional struggles and personality traits. With expert guidance, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your thought patterns and emotional responses, helping you achieve personal growth.
Experience the power of flow psychology, a state of complete mental immersion, through meditative jogging and mindful speed walking. These activities help train your mind to stay fully present, reducing stress and overthinking while promoting emotional balance.
Many of life’s anxieties stem from deeper fears about mortality and the unknown. Our unique existential therapy exercises help you reframe these concerns, allowing them to have less control over your daily emotional landscape.
Every guest receives three private therapy sessions with either Dr. Mike, Dr. Lidia, or one of our PhD-level clinicians. These personalized sessions target your unique challenges and provide evidence-based strategies for personal growth and emotional healing.
Nourish both mind and body with light, health-conscious meals designed to enhance mental clarity and energy. Our plant-based menu supports emotional rejuvenation, helping you feel your best throughout the retreat.
Engage in team-based activities such as reverse-score paddle sports, group wall climbs, and interactive challenges. These exercises strengthen social bonds while helping you understand the root causes of interpersonal stressors.
Each participant receives a curated selection of books by Drs. Abrams on CBT, sexuality, and personality. These resources serve as valuable tools, allowing you to apply retreat insights long after you leave.
