 Bernard McDowell, lcsw
2700 SE 26th Avenue, Suite D
Portland, OR 97202
503-234-9904
Located at the corner of SE 26th and
Clinton in "Close-in" Southeast Portland
area; approximately .7 mile from the East Side of the Ross Island Bridge,
the office is convenient for those on the West side as well as the East
side. (1.6 miles from the East side of the Morrison
Bridge; 15 min or less from NW & NE Portland; 20-25 minute drive
from I-5 & 217; 25 minutes from the Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego
areas; 20 min from the Mall 205 area; 20 min from Gladstone; 25 min
from Oregon City.)
More detailed directions: Going east across the Ross Island, you
will be on SE Powell. Go .7 mile to the third stop light and make
a left onto SE 26th Avenue (Cleveland High is on the corner).
Then go approximately 1/4 mile to SE Clinton where there is both
a stop sign and a blinking red light. At that stop sign, the
Clinton Theater is to your left and immediately to your right is the
K&F Coffee Shop. My office is directly above the front door
of the K&F. However, to get to the entrance of the offices,
you need to make a right onto SE Clinton and go approximately 50 feet
to the driveway/parking lot behind the building. Walk up the
driveway. There is one outside staircase. Go up the steps
and my office is Suite D on the right. My name is the first name
on the door.
