Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 22 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.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Chester

Searching for therapists in Chester starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. Many people look for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options for Chester therapy, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training fit your needs. A bio can help you understand whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Chester is a smaller community, so local appointment options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual therapy can give you more choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can show you how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach to care.

Therapy in Chester can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments when available. You can review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you find a fit.
