Hello! My name is Tajuddin Abdullah, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience providing individual therapy across partial hospitalization and residential programs, as well as within New Jersey public schools.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 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 • 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.

Do you feel like your brain is constantly running on overdrive? Maybe you’re navigating the frustrating cycle of procrastination, intense anxiety about falling behind, and the sudden rage or emotional outbursts that follow. You might feel misunderstood, labeled "lazy" or "difficult," when in reality, you are holding it together with incredible effort. If you are tired of the anxiety-depression loop, you are in the right place. I help adolescents and adults move from feeling overwhelmed and reactive to empowered and focused.

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 Lakewood

Finding the right therapist in Lakewood, NJ starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Lakewood is home to a large and diverse community in Ocean County, and the demand for mental health care continues to increase. Whether you prefer to meet with a provider in person near the Route 9 corridor or connect from home through a virtual session, having flexible options can make it easier to fit therapy into your schedule. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right fit before committing.

Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Lakewood who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
