Hello, and welcome! I'm Lynn Moreno-Buckmon, LPC, founder of Hello Sunshine Wellness & Educational Services, LLC.

I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, stress, life transitions, and the emotional weight that can make it difficult to move forward. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in survival mode, or simply longing for more peace and purpose, you don't have to navigate it alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Trauma & Performance Psychology Specialist, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can begin. My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based, integrating proven therapeutic approaches while honoring your unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

My goal is to empower you to create lasting emotional wellness, healthier relationships, greater confidence, and a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on that journey. My mission is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to heal, grow, and thrive.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important first step toward feeling better. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward.

My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and person-centered approaches—blending evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and build on your strengths to create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I work with adults across all stages of life, including those navigating career changes, caregiving roles, or life transitions in later adulthood. I believe healing and growth are possible at any age.

If you’re ready to start your journey toward greater peace and self-understanding, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step together.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hackensack

Finding the right therapist in Hackensack starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Consider whether you're looking for help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges — or broader support during a life transition. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training and approaches. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Hackensack is home to a wide range of licensed mental health providers, many of whom also serve nearby Bergen County communities like Teaneck, Maywood, and River Edge. Providers on Headway offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule. Many also offer a free phone consultation, giving you a chance to connect before committing to a session.

Therapy in the Hackensack area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — though costs vary based on your location and specific coverage.
