Testimonials

While we never ask for testimonials from our clients (that would be unethical!), we have received lots of positive feedback via LinkedIn, Facebook, and Yelp - as well as thank you notes! Hearing the positive impact our sessions have had on our clients always warms our hearts, it's why we got into this profession in the first place! We also understand that finding a therapist can be difficult, if not daunting. Hearing the real experiences of others is incredibly valuable. We want to be able to provide you the most information possible so you can feel confident and supported in finding the therapist who will be the best fit for you and your needs.

Here are some of the publicly posted testimonies from people we've worked with*:

I have worked professionally with Lauryn in the past and as a colleague she was nothing but professional, approachable, and kind to all. Lauryn is my go to recommendation to anyone I know seeking individual or couples therapy. Lauryn is passionate about her work and she has a distinct ability to ask the right questions to best relate and empathize with others. I admire that she is constantly working to learn more about her profession and hone her expertise in the field. 10/10 recommend Lauryn Plush for any of your therapy needs.

In my 10-year career, I have met and worked with dozens of therapists and Jennine stands out as one of the most informative, intuitive, and passionate professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Jennine is not only a journalist’s dream in that she responds with clear, interesting, and informative advice under a tight deadline but her approach to helping her clients move through their fears and address their issues in order to live their best lives is truly unique.

I had the pleasure of listening in on two different sessions for the Marriage Makeover session in Redbook Magazine and both couples sang her praises after both sessions. I highly recommend Jennine Estes as both a therapist and an expert. Don’t miss the chance to work with her!

Sarah O’Leary creates an open space and holds a compassionate, supportive, and knowledgeable presence in every meeting. I believe her passion for her work and for life makes her a valuable resource on life’s journey.

I experience Dana, an associate at Estes therapy, as highly skilled and capable at working with clients. In conversation with her, it is clear that she utilizes all resources available to her to be able to meet her clients where they are at and work on their goals in a collaborative way. Dana brings calmness in to the space, which seems to increase a feeling of ease and comfort when speaking about difficult situations and experiences. The fact that she has completed training specifically to help clients tap in to their emotions is a plus, and honestly she would STILL be amazing without it. Truthfully, I would (and do) recommend Dana to even my closest of friends.

Estes Therapy literally saved my life. If you are looking for patient, passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, intelligent, warm, genuine therapists, come here. It is more than a job for them and you feel that when working with them. I can’t recommend therapy enough and I can’t recommend specifically Estes Therapy enough. Thank you!

The last few years have been pretty rocky in a lot of ways. I can’t overstate how instrumental Jennine has been in helping me to rise above the many many obstacles I’ve experienced (and created for myself…). She’s helped me to become a more compassionate and engaged person, and in doing so she’s helped my relationship grow and flourish in ways that can only be described as amazing. Absolutely recommend her and her team – they’re lifesavers. 100%.

I’ve been working with Estes Therapy for the past 6 months and it’s been a fantastic working relationship. They are everything you want from a business – professional, thorough and trustworthy. Big thanks to Estes Therapy and I absolutely give them my recommendation.
