Lynn Moreno-Buckmon

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


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.

I believe that healing is more than reducing symptoms—it's about reclaiming your life. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, process difficult experiences, and help you reconnect with the person you want to become. 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.

Healing. Growth. Transformation.

I look forward to meeting you.

Deirdre Arato

Therapist

Virtual • Toms River, NJ


My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

Happy patient looking away

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 New Jersey

Searching for therapists in New Jersey starts with finding the right fit for your needs, location, and schedule. Across the state, therapy options can vary between urban, suburban, and rural areas, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with. That may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. You can also look for training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Your search may look different in Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, South Jersey, or a smaller New Jersey community. Some people prefer an in-person therapist close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include before you book.

The cost of therapy in New Jersey can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual or in-person options in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
