Brownstone Therapeutics

Mission

Brownstone Therapeutics is a therapeutic private practice that aims to encourage clients to connect with themselves and others through the creative arts.

Brownstone Therapeutics offers individual and group therapy, supervision and consultation for students and professionals, corporate and organizational trainings, and oral history services.

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

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 and artists. 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.

Expressive Arts Therapies

The expressive arts move people into the world of emotions. It gets people out of their heads and into their bodies. Experiences are stored in the body. Many people are survivors of some kind of trauma, whether it is resulting from war or an abusive relationship. Some people can't or choose not to speak about the violence they witnessed but find it easier to paint or dance or sing our their stories. Someone can find her voice again through the arts. She can learn that she has an inner power and an indestructible will that won't leave her. The feelings of grief, anger, pain, fear and joy are the tunnel through which we must pass to get to the other side: to self-awareness, understanding and wholeness.

Other Principles of expressive arts therapies: all people have the ability to be creative, our feelings and emotions are an energy source and personal growth takes place in a safe and supportive environment.

Some "Thanks" to Brownstone Therapeutics

Lori Pritchard

I had the pleasure of working with Eve, and she was professional, organized and knowledgeable. I recommended her highly.

Liz Ferrigno, AM, LCSW, Program Director Gilda's Club Chicago

Hi Eve,

Yes - thank you so much for facilitating the workshop! The members who attended had wonderful things to say, including:
"Bring her back, she was wonderful!"
"Would love to attend more of these!"

Thanks again, Eve!

Kimberly Bares

Eve,
My in-laws loved the DVD of the interview you conducted with them. It made a perfect Hanukkah gift, and we couldn't be happier with your final product and with the thought and care that went into the interview and editing process. You knew just the right questions to ask! It's a gem, and we'll treasure what you captured on film for many years and generations to come.

Thank you!

Kevin O'Neil

Eve is a true master of her art. She is a kind and sensitive oral historian, with a special knack for getting people to talk about themselves and their loved ones. I would recommend her to anyone!

Thanks again!

Eve Brownstone is insightful and patient in her work as an interviewer who, for every subject, pursues the facts and story with equal vigor. Her work with Scott Lee Cohen, candidate for Illinois Lieutenant Governor, delivered a narrative on a self-made man who is seeking to share his success through public service. This video has had a catalytic effect on his campaign, which is poised for victory in 2010!

I am especially grateful to her for her interest in my work as founder of Citizens For 2016, an organization whose mission was to build public opinion for Chicago's bid for the Olympics. Her video interview of me drew out my best articulation of a people's hope to host the world in Chicago, America's greatest city.

Paul Quinn, Author of Tarot For Life

Dear Eve,

The video interview you did with me helped me to articulate my ideas (about the Tarot, in my case), and have an enjoyable experience feeling comfortable in front of the camera. I appreciated the relaxed environment you created, and your thoughtful questions. Thanks!

Eve has facilitated 2 workshops for "CJE at Sinai" members. Both programs were well done. She had plans, music and supplies ready. The group responded to her lead. Eve created an atmosphere for the members to express themselves freely while exploring connections to family, friends and the group in one program. During the other program Eve had the group draw thoughts and feelings about different aspects of their lives. Each time the members were encouraged to work together. While facilitating both workshops Eve responded to individuals as well as to the group. When some members initially had difficulty transitioning onto the task of the workshop, Eve was patient and reassuring until they were able to maintain their focus. One man liked the background music and Eve spontaneously started dancing with him while still maintaining leadership of the group. I am looking forward to Eve's next workshop.
