At A Better Life Therapy, our Galloway team provides supportive, evidence-based therapy to help you find balance. We also offer discounted rates for Stockton students, because access to care matters.

A breakup moon can give a couple a sense of finality, rather than the more common ambiguous way many relationships end, explains Eunice Akinola, a marriage and family therapist with A Better Life Therapy. She even knows of a couple who did a breakup photo shoot to mark their parting. “A lot of anxiety can come from not having a true ending or clear closure,” Akinola says. While a breakup trip can “give people a truer sense of a controlled, and agreed-upon, end.”

"Philadelphia-based licensed marriage and family therapist Eman Almusawi, who works with clients in their 20s and says group trips frequently come up in her sessions, says direct communication is the way to go in these scenarios. “Say what you feel without trying to win,” she says. “For example, ‘I care about our friendship and want to stay close after that moment’ goes further than ‘You made me feel left out.' When people feel safe, they’re more willing to hear you."
