Virtual & in-person • 12 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 Metuchen

Searching for therapists in Metuchen starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, trauma, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or an integrated approach to therapy. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses integrative therapies, works with specific populations, or focuses on the concerns you want support with.

In a smaller city like Metuchen, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can expand the number of therapists available to you in New Jersey. Some people prefer meeting in an office close to home, work, or transit, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may be like.

Therapy in Metuchen can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

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