Jessica Ngiam, LCSW

I work with adults who are looking for a deeper understanding of themselves and want to make meaningful changes in their lives. My areas of focus include anxiety, childhood trauma, self-esteem, emotional regulation, anger, autism and neurodivergence, career dissatisfaction, and feelings of being stuck or unfulfilled. I have a special niche for supporting adults who were diagnosed with autism later in life and parents with an autistic child.

My approach is both insight-oriented and action-oriented. I believe that understanding where your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs come from can be an important part of creating change. At the same time, therapy should help you take what you learn about yourself and apply it to your everyday life. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns that may be affecting you while developing new ways of responding, coping, and moving forward.

I aim to create a space where you can be open and genuine without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy before we begin. We can start with where you are and work together from there.

My approach draws from depth-oriented psychoanalytic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, emotional regulation techniques, coping skills, and solution-focused therapy. I tailor these approaches to your individual needs and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you ease your suffering, achieve your goals, and build a life that feels authentic to you.
