Psychiatric Mental Health NP

2333 Morris Avenue, 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 Jersey City

Searching for therapists in Jersey City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare Jersey City therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Jersey City has therapy options across neighborhoods like Downtown, Journal Square, the Heights, and near Lincoln Park, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If commute time, transit access, or scheduling matters to you, narrow your search by location, appointment availability, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to address.

Therapy in Jersey City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost, and book directly when you’re ready.

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