Getting to know Jessica Ngiam

Effective therapy involves more than symptom relief; it requires addressing the underlying causes of your suffering or unhappiness in order to create meaningful, lasting change. My approach focuses on uncovering and working through problems at their root rather than applying temporary, band-aid solutions. This process involves both insight and action – developing awareness, engaging in honest reflection, and taking practical steps toward sustained emotional and relational growth with yourself and others in your life. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, grief, life transitions, and alcohol dependency/addiction (self or loved one).

Jessica is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She approaches our sessions with rationality, compassion and empathy. She is also a great listener. I feel that our sessions are a great use of my time and money. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.
Jessica is very professional and shows great compassion. I feel very comfortable opening up to her. She has helped me grow and feel more empowered I can’t recommend her enough.
I'm having an excellent experience working with Jessica. She is kind and truly a great listener. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space, and her insights are thoughtful. She has a unique way of helping me understand myself better while feeling supported throughout the process. I have seen significant improvements in how I handle my emotions and relate with people in my life. I'm better thanks to Jessica.
After meeting with a few therapists, I found Jessica to be the right fit for me. She is a great listener, has insightful comments, and prompts me to explore my thoughts and feelings more deeply. Jessica's approach is different from the other therapists who did coping skills with me like breathing exercises. I really like Jessica and highly recommend her if you want to understand yourself deeply and make meaningful changes in your life!
My first impression: I felt comfortable and knew right away that Jessica would be a great listener. She asks thoughtful questions.

Some clients are highly critical and expect nothing but perfection from their therapists. These are the clients who blow through one therapist after another as they fire each one after only a few visits. But this isn't what psychoanalytic therapy is all about. Therapy is based on exploration, insight, the therapy relationship and rupture and repair. I'm super grateful I found Jessica as she has been amazing in my therapy journey. She's kind and caring and listens to what's on my mind and helps me to find the right words when I'm stuck. Her demeanor and tone of voice is warm and makes me feel safe. Jessica also has a sense of humor and knows when to use it and when to challenge me to help me grow. Thanks to her, I'm now better at handling my feelings and getting along with people in my life.
Jessica is a great listener and very attentive. She asked insightful questions and I’m looking forward to working with her in our sessions.
