Dilworth United Methodist Church is on East Boulevard directly across from the Greek Orthodox Temple. The counseling office is located on the ground floor of the main building of the church campus.
Park in the wide parking lane on East Boulevard in front of the main sanctuary steps of Dilworth UMC. From the base of these steps follow the sidewalk to the right, into the courtyard toward the Prayer Chapel. To the right of the Prayer Chapel door, down a short set of steps and to the left is the private entrance you can use to find my office inside. On the right side of that entrance is a button with a speaker. Press the button and say “Your ___o’clock appointment is here.” To keep confidentiality please do not say your name into the speaker. I will talk to you through the speaker and unlock the door so you can enter. Go ahead, through two doors to enter the building.
Once inside turn left, walking down the hallway until you enter a room with a hardwood floor and comfortable chairs. This is the “Gathering Room.” Please have a seat here and wait for me to be free. If this room happens to be in use, have a seat in the room directly ahead, the “Westmoreland Room.”
My office door is nearby (The “Montford Room”) and you should be able to hear a white-noise sound machine. If you need to complete any paperwork, help yourself to copies of our forms near you. If you become concerned that I may not come out to get you, feel free to knock on my door, beside the white noise sound machine.
