FROM YOUR SPECIFIC AREA:
FROM WALNUT CREEK
Take Highway 24 West. Go through the Caldecott Tunnel and then take 580 West
towards San Francisco. Stay in the right lanes and then take 580 West/80 East
towards Berkeley. Get off at the Albany/Buchanan Street exit (the Gilman exit is
right before this one). Make a right at the end of the ramp onto Buchanan
Street. This puts you on Buchanan, going in the correct direction -- towards the
Berkeley hills (going east). Continue for about a half mile on Buchanan, then
when Buchanan crosses San Pablo Avenue (traffic light; main street), Buchanan
changes its name to Marin. Go 4 blocks past San Pablo Avenue -- to corner of
Marin and Talbot. We are on the left hand side of the street, on the corner. We
have offices in the Gracemont Baptist church; it has a white steeple on top and
this is the landmark to spot us.
You can park on Marin or Talbot -- there is usually plenty of street parking. To
find us in this building, get back on Marin, facing the front of the Church.
Walk to the right side of the building. You'll see a wire mesh fence with our
sign on it -- Center for Creative Growth -- with an arrow pointing you down a
walkway. Go down the walkway. On your left, you'll see a covered patio (green
cement paint). The first door under that covered patio has our sign on it.
That's the entrance to our waiting room. Your therapist will meet you there at
the time of your appointment.
If you need to use restrooms, the way to find them is: Go to the far end of the
covered patio. Door says: "Restrooms and Offices." Go in there. There are 2
restrooms; they are the first two doors on the right. Sometimes the
"Restrooms/Offices" door is already open. Just go on in. We ask that you be very
quiet in this corridor, because that's where the counseling offices are.
