🧡 SDVoyager Owner Spotlight: Jennine Powell of Estes Therapy 🧡
We’re honored that Jennine was recently featured in SDVoyager in an in-depth conversation about her journey as a therapist, a leader, a mom, and the driving force behind our work at Estes Therapy. Read the full interview here 👉https://sdvoyager.com/interview/an-inspired-chat-with-jennine-powell-of-mission-valley-highlight/

A few highlights we’d love to share:
🌟Jennine finds profound lessons in everyday moments—her 5-year-old inspires her to slow down, stay present, and embrace wonder.
🌟She leads Estes Therapy with heart + clarity, refusing to shy away from “hard stuff” and guiding clients through relational wounds with empathy and depth.
🌟She’s already making waves via the EFT Triage Conference (2025), designed to help clinicians navigate ruptures, betrayals, and emotional challenges.
🌟Even on the toughest days, Jennine leans into her “why”—helping clients heal, supporting fellow clinicians, and showing up for her family.

At Estes Therapy, Jennine’s vision sets the tone for all we do: with courage, compassion, and real talk. We hope her story encourages others to show up bravely, love deeply, and heal loudly.
Please join us in celebrating Jennine—and if you haven’t yet, take a moment to read her full interview. 💫
