Albert Kwimi

Albert Kwimi

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 5.9 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.

Julia Hayward

Julia Hayward

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.3 mi away • New Providence, NJ


Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.

I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.

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 Livingston

Searching for therapists in Livingston starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Livingston is a smaller community, so the number of nearby offices may be more limited than in larger parts of New Jersey. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. You may also want to filter by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and the types of concerns each therapist supports.

Therapy in Livingston 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 out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, check your insurance coverage for your specific plan and location, and view upfront cost estimates based on your benefits. You can browse therapists in Livingston, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
