I have a background which includes many years of Post-Graduate education, knowledge and experience providing mental health care to those who need help dealing with a wide range of mental health issues or concerns.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 15 years of Post-Graduate education and training in Modern Psychoanalysis at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis, which allows me to listen and respond to your needs, through special understanding of unconscious processes that affect the human mind as a whole.


My specialty is in using Talk Therapy as a treatment for relieving mental and emotional distress. Whatever your diagnosis, difficulty, age, finances, or emotional needs, I help you with the process of talking to solve conflicts which block you from accomplishing what you want in life.

Julia Hayward

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 14 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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 16 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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Princeton, NJ


I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice and board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‐BC), and I specialize in providing holistic, evidence‐based care to individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns. I have extensive experience working with adults in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings, and I am committed to helping my patients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

I assess, diagnose, and manage individuals with various psychiatric conditions in an outpatient setting. I conduct comprehensive intake evaluations and follow‐up psychiatric assessments, prescribe and manage psychotropic medications using evidence‐based research, and create individualized treatment plans that combine both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. I also provide psychotherapy utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma‐informed approaches, and other therapeutic modalities to help clients work through complex mental health issues.

My practice is grounded in a holistic perspective. I look at the full picture of your emotional, physical, and social well‐being when we develop your treatment plan together. I value collaboration and strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build insight, and learn practical coping strategies to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. I am comfortable working with a breadth of concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma‐related symptoms, co‐occurring substance use, and the emotional impact of medical and life stressors.

In addition to my outpatient work,
