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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Teaneck, NJ


I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who is deeply committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered in their growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to break. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your lived experience.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up fully as yourself—without pressure or pretense. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, uncover underlying patterns, and build tools that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your decisions, and more equipped to handle life’s complexities.
