About the Authors

The late, and very much missed, Marjorie Nelson-Brambir received her Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling from Hunter College, one of the campuses of the City University of New York, in 1986. Margie worked in day-treatment centers with mentally ill clients. Later, she became a full-time mom, while maintaining a private counseling practice at home. She was part of Aurora Coven in New York, an egalitarian group. Without Margie, the Counseling Basics Workshop, and this notebook, would never have come to be. We lovingly and gratefully dedicate this ongoing work to her.

Judy Harrow is a priestess, counselor and writer from the New York metropolitan area. Judy received her Masters Degree in Counseling from City College of New York, another CUNY campus, in 1979.

She is currently President of the New Jersey Association for Spiritual, Ethical and Religious Values in Counseling and chair of the Pastoral Counseling Program at Cherry Hill Seminary.
