Elsbeth Martindale, Psychologist
Hello, I'm Elsbeth Martindale. I'm a psycholgist on East Burnside in Portland. I've been in private practice in Portland since 1991. My interest is in empowering people to live their lives fully and joyfully. I offer many tools to my clients in the form of handouts. I see myself as an educator and coach, helping prople develop into their fullness. I love the work I do and feel honored to be invited so deeply into the lives of my clients.
I am an author of several books and articles. My most successful book is also a tool for therapy. It is a deck of cards called, Things to Know Before You Say "Go", and it offers 76 questions to ask when exploring love and romance. It is available at me CourageToBloom.com website, at local Portland bookstores, and at Amazon.
