The counseling office is located in the house on the Dilworth UMC property, which is on the corner of East Boulevard and Winthrop Avenue. From Winthrop Avenue, park in the small gravel parking lot which lies between the house and the Dilworth Child Development Center. Enter the back door of the house. Once inside the house go up the stairs to the second floor, then turn right and have a seat in the waiting area. Several signs and some counseling literature and books should let you know you’re in the right place. Help yourself to tea or coffee and the reading literature. Look over the intake forms on the table. Complete as many of the intake forms as you can in advance, to allow for more time for us to talk in our visit. If you need to find my office right away, go to the other end of the second floor hallway and look for the sign on my door: “Methodist Counseling and Consultation Services”. There is a white noise sound machine on the floor beside my door.
