Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 13 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.

Great to Meet You

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, supported, and empowered to grow.

I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic illness, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, and LGBTQIA+ experiences. I also support clients who are coping with family conflict, workplace stress, attachment concerns, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion, honesty, and accountability. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, strengthen healthy boundaries, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're navigating a major life transition, living with chronic illness, healing from past experiences, or looking to strengthen your relationships, you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to help you leave each session feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to create. =)

Virtual & in-person • 9.2 mi away • Nutley, NJ


People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Others are navigating life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, changing careers, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Sometimes there isn’t a single crisis. Instead, there is a growing sense that life feels harder than it should, or that old ways of coping are no longer working.

I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are trying to manage the demands of everyday life while carrying a great deal beneath the surface. Many are bright, capable, and caring people who find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, distracted, stuck in patterns of worry, or struggling to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to better understand what is keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Clark, NJ


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping adults and adolescents manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, life transitions, and substance-related concerns.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and goal-focused. I use evidence-based strategies, including CBT and exposure-based work, to help clients better understand their patterns, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes in daily life.

I believe therapy does not have to be reserved only for moments of crisis. It can be helpful for anyone who wants to manage stress more effectively, improve relationships, strengthen emotional control, or feel more confident in how they handle life’s demands.

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 Jersey City, NJ

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.
