We recently had the chance to connect with Dr. Jessica Singh LCSW, CST and have shared our conversation below.
Jessica, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What do you think is misunderstood about your business?
I think one big misconception is that sex therapy is only about “fixing problems in the bedroom.” In reality, my work goes so much deeper than that. It’s really about helping people feel safe in their bodies, understand their desires, and build intimacy that feels nourishing. For many of my clients, especially those in eating disorder recovery, sex therapy isn’t just about sex. It’s about connection, trust, and embodiment.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica Singh, a clinical sexologist and certified sex therapist. My work lives at the intersection of sexuality, relationships, and recovery. I specialize in helping people—especially those who’ve struggled with eating disorders or body image—reclaim intimacy and pleasure in ways that feel safe and empowering. What makes my work unique is that I don’t just talk about sex in the abstract; I explore how our everyday experiences, from body confidence to stress, shape our ability to connect. My goal is to make sexology approachable and inclusive because I believe everyone deserves to feel at home in their body and in their relationships. Right now, I’m excited to be bringing these conversations to a bigger audience with a new book project about sexuality and recovery called Nourishing Desire, which will be published in February 2026.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
There was a time when I had to emotionally disconnect, and speak and behave the way I was expected just to survive. At the time, it kept me safe. But now, it no longer serves the life I want to live. That part of me that silenced her needs and cut herself off from connection has served its purpose, but it isn’t who I am anymore. Releasing her is part of my healing, and it’s also at the heart of my work today.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me how to sit with myself in the rawest, most unpolished moments. Success has never demanded that kind of honesty. Through suffering, I learned empathy for myself and for others that has become the foundation of how I connect and how I work. Suffering taught me compassion and connection, while success has only taught me achievement. Success on its own holds no value to me.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
Authenticity. I believe people can feel when you’re being real with them, and in my work that’s non-negotiable. Whether I’m in the therapy room, writing, or speaking online, I protect authenticity because it’s the foundation of trust and connection. Personally, I’d rather be messy and real than polished and disconnected, and that’s something I’ll never compromise on.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. When do you feel most at peace?
Peace, for me, shows up in different forms. Sometimes it’s the quiet of curling up with a book, where I can breathe and mentally reset. Other times it’s in the movement of an adult gymnastics class or the concentration of rock climbing. Moments where I’m fully in my body and in the present. Those activities remind me that peace isn’t just stillness; it can also be found in play, movement, and trust. Together, they balance me.
