Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Wyckoff, NJ


As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience, I have been helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful personal growth. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, supporting clients through a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family difficulties.

My goal is to provide a comfortable, accepting space where clients can feel heard, gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward a greater sense of confidence and fulfillment. I bring warmth, empathy, authenticity, and definitely some humor to my work. I believe that therapy should feel both supportive and empowering.

Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two daughters, and my crazy dog Kelly. I love reading, practicing hot yoga, hiking with my family.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 18 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.

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 Hackensack

Searching for therapists in Hackensack starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand each therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for life transitions.

Hackensack has local therapy options, but nearby availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across New Jersey, which may help if you need a specific therapy style, evening availability, or a therapist who is accepting new patients. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for practical fit. Look at appointment times, session format, areas of focus, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can learn more before starting care.

Therapy in Hackensack can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before your first appointment. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
