From Eve Brownstone

Eve Brownstone, MA, LCPC
Director of Brownstone Therapeutics

Some of you know me as the interviewer for this amazing website www.rogerspark.com
for the past four years. Today, I am tooting my horn for something I have been doing for the past seventeen years, Expressive Arts Therapies. I ran my first group in 1990. I got my Masters in 1993 and my LCPC in 1998. For seventeen years, I have worked for other organizations. I have had wonderful experiencing working with clients from eighteen months to ninety-five years old. Today, I am letting everybody know that I am putting up my own shingle. Brownstone Therapeutics is open for business.

Brownstone Therapeutics is a therapeutic private practice in Rogers Park aimed at assisting people: to explore choices, gain more self-awareness and self-acceptance, reduce stress, anxiety and depression so that people can live more fully. I am looking for folks who want to make positive changes in their lives. I use music, dance, art, writing and psychodrama to get to the heart of things, to look below the surface. I see myself as mid-wife, assisting clients to give birth to themselves. It is not always easy. With growth can come some teething. But it is a joyful experience when someone stands on their own two feet and embraces themselves- the good, the bad and the ugly. Individual and group therapy sessions are provided. There is a sliding scale. We are a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO Provider and offer a special discount to students of Loyola University of Chicago.

Another service I am thrilled to offer is Oral History Services. Brownstone Therapeutics offers convenient and affordable ways to document loved ones life stories or your own.
Through DVD or written form, I can capture someone’s story for present and future generations to enjoy. Also telling your story, I have been told is very therapeutic. Sometimes people just want to talk and know someone is listening. I am a good listener.

Lastly, Brownstone Therapeutics offers fun, interactive and educational experiences for groups from schools to corporations. We aim to reduce stress, increase leadership skills and team cohesion in creative ways. Trainings include: How to Build a Stress First Aid Kit, Dining with the Family and Choices. We also offer private consultation to businesses and other organizations.
