I am a Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst with over 30 years of clinical, supervisory and administrative experience, licensed in the states of NY and NJ. I graduated from NYU School of Social Work with Master's Degree in Social Work, and NJ Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies with PsyA Degree. I provide individual therapy to adults and seniors, as well as I do consultations, coaching and clinical supervision.
I am a Mental Health Counselor & National Certified Counselor with experience counseling all ages. I will work with you through a variety of transitional stages during your life- including life changes, relationships, daily stress, struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and all that life brings. I enjoy tailoring sessions towards the needs of each individual!
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.
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, I'm Julie Mendizabal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or a life transition that's left you unsteady, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's happening and find lasting change. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying so much — so if you're feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply know that something needs to change, you're not alone, and you don't have to face it on your own.
I'm a therapist with a commitment to supporting you and your mental and emotional well-being. I have experience working with clients going through crisis, life transitions, relationship struggles, and family discord. I am certified in Creative Arts Therapy and Disaster and Collective Trauma Therapy.
I’m Sofia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) based in New Jersey. This work is deeply meaningful to me, both professionally and personally, and I bring that understanding into how I show up—with care, warmth, and authenticity.
I support adolescents and adults who feel stuck in their relationship with food, body image, or exercise, as well as those navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, or life transitions. I currently serve as Program Director for an eating disorder PHP/IOP and have extensive experience supporting clients across all stages of recovery.
There comes a time in everyone's life when we need support.
Are you sick and tired of trying to manage this alone? You wake up to another difficult day and wonder how you will cope. Anxiety and dread are becoming your best friends. But they don't have to be. You are here because you are ready for change and I am here because I can help you feel better.
I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.
Susan Goodwin is a highly qualified and experienced therapist holding licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). With a passion for helping individuals overcome mental health and substance use challenges, Susan brings a wealth of expertise to her practice.
Hi! I'm Alyssa and I am a licensed clinical social worker and geriatric mental health therapist who is passionate about helping older adults and caregivers navigate life and its challenges. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, cultural issues, and life transitions. My goal is to provide compassionate care that will help you feel supported, seen, and heard.
I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.
My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.

Frequently asked questions


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.
