Welcome!
I’m pleased and proud to be contributing a first blog entry to the McCue Counseling website. The pandemic has afforded me the opportunity to collaborate professionally with my son, Ri Bornstein, on the creation of this site. Ri designed the layout and wrote the content. He will continue to be a regular contributor. To learn more about Ri’s work visit www.riparian-zone.com or write ripariamccuebornstein@gmail.com.
The beginning of the pandemic a year ago called on each of us to create a new life chapter. It is my intention to hold community on this website as we each strive to live our fullest lives. That means sharing our strengths, our vulnerabilities, and coming from a place of goodwill. I believe that giving to one another is an expression of generosity of spirit. And it turns out that GIVING significantly contributes to healing!
In the Spring of 2020 we recognized that there would not be the safety of office space in which to create purposeful therapeutic work. We then set out to work with what we had. Useful time was spent between therapist and client over zoom, on phone calls, and in walking sessions. This website is intended to enrich those experiences.
This pandemic is teaching us all so much about life. I deeply appreciate the power of supporting one another. My hope is that this website will be a platform for that kind of experience.
I invite you to contribute. You are welcome to submit your writing, share resources that you find helpful in your life, and to suggest literature to review.
I look forward to learning from and with you all!
