Matthew House's office is located in the BG Plaza building at 3800 SW Cedar Hills Boulevard, Suite 271, Beaverton, Oregon, 97005.
PLEASE SEE THE COVID-19 UPDATE AT THE END OF THIS PAGE
Here is a map of the building and grounds so you can find your way around the interior and exterior of the building. Please note that there are several entrances to the building, and some are closer than others to Matthew's office. As you will see on the map, the office building is located behind Thai Bloom and Westgate restaurants. The restaurant building and the office building are separate structures, but they share the same street address. If you approach on Cedar Hills Boulevard, you will likely see only the restaurants at first glance. Don't worry -- you are in the right place; the office building is just behind the restaurants. You'll turn on Westgate (off Cedar Hills) by the Goodwill store. We are directly across Westgate from Goodwill.
The location provides easy access to Canyon Road, Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, Highway 217, and Highway 26. The Beaverton Central MAX Station (Blue Line) is visible from our building, and it is only a two-minute walk. Beaverton Transit Center is a half-mile away, and some bus lines are even closer. If you arrive early or are looking for a place to stop before or after your session, dozens of stores, restaurants and coffee shops are within walking distance.
Free parking is available in the front and lots and on the street. If you are coming for an appointment during regular business hours, the front parking lot is often full, but there is an overflow parking lot across the street from the building (facing Rose Biggi Avenue) that belongs to our building and is actually closer to Matthew's office entrance. There is no time limit if you park in the lots. However, if you use the street parking on Rose Biggi Avenue, please note that the City of Beaverton imposes a two-hour maximum during business hours on weekdays. If you are on the BG Plaza property and are parked in front of the building facing the covered breezeway, you can disregard the two-hour parking signs in our lot. We do not enforce them, so you can remain there longer than two hours with no problem.
When you enter from the hallway, you will be walking into Matthew's private waiting room. Except in very rare instances, you and your spouse will be the only people waiting, so your privacy will be assured. Most meetings are conducted in Matthew's office, in a setting conducive to an informal yet focused conversation. For a larger meeting space to spread out any papers or materials you may bring, Matthew can reserve a conference room. If you and your spouse will need to meet in separate rooms, we have the space.
Matthew's office is in Suite 271, two doors to the right of the elevator on the second floor. If you have an appointment, please come in; you don’t need to knock. You’ll be walking into Matthew's waiting area; please have a seat in that room. No other clients will be there while you wait, so your privacy is assured. Snacks, tea, hot chocolate, and chilled water are available. Please help yourself to any refreshments you would like.
Matthew does not offer walk-in services without an appointment. The suite door is almost always locked, except for the few minutes before a scheduled meeting. Matthew also works a flexible schedule, offering morning, afternoon, and evening appointments on different days of the week, so he is not always in his office during regular business hours. To receive services from Matthew, you will need to call 503-643-5284 or send an email to matthewmhousejd (at) gmail.com.
Matthew provides free internet access for any WiFi-enabled devices you may bring. The login information is in the lobby. If you need to look up any information and have not brought your own device, Matthew has several tablets and computers that you can use.
Matthew meets with kids in a casual room within his suite. To ensure that it would be friendly and inviting to teenagers, it was designed by teens and features a large TV, informal decor (a sports theme), and a six-foot beanbag chair. We will post pictures of it soon! When the weather permits it, Matthew can meet with kids outside in the adjacent courtyard.
COVID-19 UPDATE: The above information is accurate, with only a few exceptions:
1) All adult meetings, and all meetings with more than one child at a time, will be conducted in Suite 155, the conference room. It is a large room suitable for social distancing. We will meet around a table meant for 14 people, so there will be ample room to spread out.
2) One-on-one meetings with kids (Matthew and one child at a time) can be conducted in Matthew's office, Suite 271. Matthew's suite consists of four rooms, but none of the four besides the waiting room is conducive to more than two people when the goal is social distancing. All meetings that include more than one person in addition to Matthew will be held downstairs in Suite 155.
3) Only two exterior doors are unlocked during this phase of reopening. Under the covered walkway in front of the building, you will find doors at both ends. Each is approximately equidistant from Suite 155. Also, please note that the building doors are locked sometime between 5:00 and 6:00 PM on weekdays and are locked at all hours on weekends. If your meeting is scheduled to begin after business hours and you are unable to get inside, please call Matthew at 503-643-5284.
4) Masks or other suitable face coverings are required in all rooms and common areas of the building, per the building owner.
