About Spokane Counseling Hub
Spokane Counseling Hub is a place where therapy begins with:
- wholehearted acceptance
- strong advocacy for diversity
- unwavering support
We’re here for those seeking clarity, peace, and the ongoing journey of personal growth and empowerment.
Dedicated to equipping you with a lifelong toolbox of growth & empowerment skills
We innovate and elevate. We inspire and inform. We restore and revitalize.
We see ourselves as change-makers and truth-seekers, as both teachers and students, as passionate champions and promoters of our clients’ goals and hopes for their future.
We are here for one reason and one reason only: to serve you in your quest for wellness and wholeness. And we never lose sight of that overarching calling.
If we do our job right — and we’ll stop at virtually nothing to accomplish that — we will send you on your way as quickly as we can, armed with insights, skills, and tools that will serve you all the days of your life, with the people you love most in your life, including yourself.
- feel understood and valued.
- foster strong, sustainable bonds that will fulfill and nurture you.
- feel energized to pursue the life of your dreams.
We pay special attention to matching you with the most appropriate, best-fit therapist to suit your specific needs.
We’re not looking to put short-term patches on longstanding problems. We’re aiming to get to the root of the issue in order to produce lasting change that will significantly enhance your quality of life.
Some issues are temporary situations that can be resolved in just a handful of sessions.
Others are more complex, deep-seated wounds that will require more time to heal. In all cases, we work with you to remove the obstructions that are blocking your way forward.
Our chief focus is on establishing or reestablishing healthy, secure connections with the people who figure prominently in your life.
We treat a wide array of issues and challenges with our preferred therapeutic methodologies, including:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Solution-Focused Therapy
- Attachment-Based Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Meet our Founder
Jennine Estes, LMFT, is the owner and supervisor of the Spokane Counseling Hub. After earning her bachelor’s in psychology from Point Loma Nazarene University in 2001 and her master’s in marriage and family therapy from Alliant International University (an offshoot of the California School of Professional Psychology) in 2004, she quickly went to work applying her formal education, thousands of therapy hours, and passion for clinical counseling to scores of individuals, couples, and families throughout her home state of California.
She is certified in EFT, trained in EMDR, and a proponent of solution-focused therapy, as “I’ve seen these empirically based techniques consistently get results, and I truly believe they are the most effective at creating positive, long-term change.” In addition to running her own private practice, she also serves as a mentor and supervisor to multiple Associate Marriage and Family Therapists, Associate Professional Clinical Counselors, therapist interns/students, and she coaches licensed therapists outside of her practice. A believer in lifelong learning, Jennine takes pride in regularly attending seminars, workshops, and trainings to enhance her skill set with the latest advancements in results-oriented therapy modalities.
In her counseling sessions, Jennine sets a relaxed, collaborative, and empathetic tone. She concentrates on creating a safe, secure, and welcoming atmosphere so that her clients can comfortably work toward safe and secure bonds of their own. Her specialty areas include attachment-based relationship therapy, pre- and post-marital counseling, high-conflict couples, co-parenting solutions, GSRD (Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity), and overcoming trauma.
A resident of both California and Washington, Jennine splits her time between Estes Therapy in San Diego and her newest venture, the Spokane Counseling Hub here in Spokane, where she feels “a sense of community and belonging that beckoned to me.”
Testimonials
What people are saying
“Jennine Estes, owner of Spokane Counseling Hub, is a highly respected and skilled EFT couples therapist who I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with for 20+ years. She is steeped in knowledge about couples’ dynamics from an attachment lens; how to identify underlying needs, disrupt negative cycles, repair wounds and develop new patterns of interactions. Jennine not only has written a book for high conflict couples and trains other EFT therapists, but she also deeply understands and cares about her clients. I cannot recommend her enough for couples looking to improve their relationships.”
