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.

Nina Knight

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.2 mi away • Woodbridge Township, NJ


I'm Nina Knight — an LCSW, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S), EMDR-trained clinician, retired law enforcement officer, and U.S. military veteran. What makes my practice different is that I don't just study the experiences my clients bring through the door — I've lived many of them. I understand the weight of wearing a uniform. I understand trauma that doesn't show up on an X-ray. I understand what it means to hold yourself together for everyone else until you simply can't anymore.My practice, Living & Looking Within, serves individuals, couples, children, and families across New Jersey — in person in Woodbridge or via telehealth statewide. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, with a particular passion for first responders, veterans, BIPOC communities, and anyone navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or the emotional weight of doing a job most people could never do. I accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Horizon BCBS, Lyra, Optum, and UHC.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in Elizabeth

Searching for therapists in Elizabeth starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may list specialties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for experience that matches your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.

Elizabeth is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. You may want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios closely can help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and whether the therapist’s availability fits your schedule.

Therapy in Elizabeth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that information clear before you book. You can search for Elizabeth therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, enter your insurance details to see estimated costs, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
