Hi! We're the Estes Therapy Team. Our South California based Relationship Therapists, serving San Diego and Oceanside, specialize in supporting you (and your partner) during the hardest times in your life.

Addressing and correcting relationship issues or individual help takes guts. It’s perfectly normal to be hesitant about the idea of seeking experienced help, but don’t let that hold you back. As your therapist, our job is to make you feel comfortable and build trust! Together we’ll set goals that will allow us to efficiently navigate issues that hurt, cause anxiety, and hold you back, so you can conquer them and move on. 

There are many related reasons why both or individuals seek out specialized professional help. In the end, it takes hard work every single day. We understand the challenges you face today as you try to live and develop a better life. Looking for a local marriage therapist can be one of the best things for your relationship – and also for yourself! If you are looking for understanding, knowledge, and compassion we invite you to find out more about our team!

Our team blends extensive EFT training, including Externship, Core Skills, and AIRM, with EMDR Certifications and direct mentorship from Jennine Estes, an EFT Certified Therapist.

Meet our Founder, Jennine Estes Powell

It’s been nearly 20 years since I first became interested in studying psychotherapy. I began practicing the scientific approaches to psychotherapy in 1997 and I was hooked from then on.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family psychotherapy in 2004 and I am currently licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist MFT (LMFT#47653) with the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS).

I focus my practice upon the empirically-based and proven research methods of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I’ve seen these techniques consistently get results and I truly believe they are the most effective at creating positive, long-term change.
