My Parent's Keeper

Eva Marian Brown, LCSW, is a psychotherapist practicing in Oakland, CA. In her general practice she provides individuals, couples, and group psychotherapy to adults with a broad range of problems. She also specializes in working with adults who grew up with a parent suffering from a serious psychological impairment. Such disturbances profoundly affect the functioning of both the parent and the family. She created the acronym ACMI (Adult Children of the Mentally Ill). Previously, people from this population were unrecognized as a unique group with common influences, challenges, and concerns. She works with them in an individual setting, as well as leading ACMI groups
