Our Mission
Healing Relationships,
Strengthening Spokane
Expert couples therapy rooted in clinically proven Emotionally Focused Therapy — accessible to every couple, at every stage of need.
Our Founder
Led by Expertise,
Driven by Community
Spokane Counseling Hub was founded by Jennine Estes Powell, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience transforming the lives of couples in conflict, disconnection, and crisis.
Jennine’s vision was clear: bring world-class couples therapy to the Spokane community — and train the next generation of therapists to deliver it with excellence
“Every couple deserves access to the best possible care. That’s not a privilege — it’s what we’re here to provide.”

What We Stand For
Relationships are worth
fighting for — and we fight
alongside you
At Spokane Counseling Hub, we believe that every couple — regardless of background, conflict level, or budget — deserves access to clinically excellent, compassionate care. Our mission is to be Spokane’s most trusted resource for couples therapy, staffed by a team that is continuously trained, supervised, and held to the highest clinical standards.
Making Care Accessible
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
We’ve built a tiered system designed to make high-quality couples counseling accessible to the entire Spokane community — from couples on a tight budget to those who want our most seasoned clinicians.
Therapist Interns & Students
Graduate-level student therapists working toward licensure, trained directly in EFT couples work and supervised by our senior clinical staff. An excellent option for couples seeking quality care at a reduced cost.
Licensed Associates
Post-graduate associate therapists who are fully licensed but still building hours toward independent licensure. Highly trained in EFT with close clinical supervision — exceptional value at a mid-range investment.
Fully Licensed Therapists
Our senior clinicians — including therapists with 20+ years of experience — bring deep expertise to the most complex relationship challenges. Ideal for high-conflict couples, trauma, or long-standing relational wounds.
Our Clinical Approach
Emotionally Focused
Therapy — It Works
Every therapist at Spokane Counseling Hub is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most extensively researched and validated approaches to couples counseling in the world.
- Clinically Proven
EFT has decades of peer-reviewed research behind it, with success rates far above most therapeutic models for couples - Attachment-Based
EFT works at the root of relationship pain — the emotional bond between partners — rather than just addressing surface-level conflict. - Lasting Change
Couples who complete EFT therapy report sustained improvements in relationship satisfaction — not just short-term relief. - For All Couples
EFT is effective for couples in all stages — early conflict, long-term disconnection, affairs, high-conflict patterns, and more.
70–75%
of couples fully recover with EFT
90%
show significant improvement in relationship satisfaction
40+ yrs
of peer-reviewed research supporting EFT
20+
years of EFT expertise at our Hub
Raising
The Bar
We Don’t Just Practice
Excellence — We Teach It
Spokane Counseling Hub is more than a therapy practice. We are a training hub — a place where the next generation of couples therapists comes to learn, grow, and be shaped into outstanding clinicians.
Under Jennine’s leadership and mentorship, our therapists-in-training learn not just the theory of EFT, but how to apply it with skill, sensitivity, and confidence in the room with real couples.
- Direct supervision from EFT-certified clinicians
- Ongoing case consultation and peer learning
- Training grounded in the latest couples research
- Ethical, trauma-informed practice frameworks
- Real-world application across diverse couples and presenting issues
Clinical Rigor
We hold every therapist — at every tier — to the same high clinical standard. Supervision is not optional; it’s built into how we practice.
Compassionate Humility
We believe great therapists are always learning. Our culture of growth means our clients always benefit from a team that is improving.
Community Investment
By training therapists locally, we are building Spokane’s capacity for excellent mental health care — one clinician at a time.
Specialization in Couples
We are a couples-first practice. Every therapist here is specifically trained for couples work — not generalists handed a couple.
Spokane, WA
Rooted in Our
Community
Spokane Counseling Hub was built for Spokane. We know this community, we live in it, and we’re committed to strengthening it — one relationship at a time. Strong couples build strong families. Strong families build stronger communities.
Local & Independent
A locally founded and operated practice — not a corporate chain. We know our clients and our community personally.
Equitable Access
Our tiered model means no couple has to go without help because of financial barriers. We offer options for every budget.
Long-Term Impact
By training therapists locally, we are investing in Spokane’s mental health ecosystem for decades to come.
Published Expertise
Co-Author of Help for
High-Conflict Couples
Founder Jennine Estes Powell co-authored this essential resource for couples experiencing entrenched conflict, reactive communication patterns, and emotional disconnection. The book draws directly on EFT principles and Jennine’s decades of clinical experience.
It is a testament to Spokane Counseling Hub’s commitment: that evidence-based help should be available not just in the therapy room, but in the hands of every couple who needs it.
