Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Hamilton Township, NJ


Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.


I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.

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.

Hi, my name is Marissa and I am a licensed professional counselor in private practice who also worked as a middle school counselor for about 15 years.

Therapist

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know that you've landed somewhere safe. I'm a licensed therapist with three years of experience working with adults, and I specialize in trauma, anxiety, life transitions and self-worth.

I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach for processing trauma and the experiences that continue to shape how we feel about ourselves and the world. I approach every client through a trauma-informed lens, which means I understand that what you're dealing with today often has roots that go deeper than the surface — and I'll meet you wherever you are in that process.
