Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Red Bank, NJ


I believe in a client-centered approach, combining holistic and evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual. Recognizing that people are equal parts nature, nurture and the surroundings in which they live is a priority of mine, as no two people endure the same sets of circumstances. Moving forward consists of recognizing where a person is at that time, as well as crafting the space to assist them on the path to where they would like to be in order to have a better quality of life.

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Union, NJ


My name is Albert Kwimi, Sibaven Medical Associates and Logistics LLC practice has been founded with the goal of bridging the gaps in mental health care, by providing patients and families in need with a patient-focused care approach. As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I have a wealth of experience treating all populations adolescents, adults, and geriatric populations. Starting as nurse aide, I have been in this field for over 20 years. I obtained an associate degree in nursing from Hudson County Community College, a Bachelor of Science from New Jersey City University, a Master of Science from Wilkes University, and currently pursuing a Doctorate Degree at Wilkes University. I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the most daunting and hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I am mindful that growing up, so many peoples around me who had mental health challenges were often misunderstood and, as such, did not receive the proper care they needed. So, it is my priority to understand you, and your challenges, so that appropriate care can be provided. I am offering to partner with you on the way to recovery.

I am affiliated with and currently work or have worked in the past with several facilities and agencies in New Jersey, including GenPsych, Alina Lodge, Serenity at Summit, and American Addiction Centers.

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 East Brunswick

Searching for therapists in East Brunswick starts with finding someone whose background matches the support you want. People often look for therapy in East Brunswick for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist who lists experience with your specific concerns and the type of care you prefer, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

East Brunswick is a smaller local market, so nearby in-person openings may vary by schedule, office location, and therapist availability. Virtual sessions with a therapist licensed in New Jersey can expand your options while still letting you choose someone who fits your needs. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work with your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you understand a therapist’s approach, communication style, and what sessions may be like.

Therapy in East Brunswick can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you review bios, compare availability, and schedule directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
