Evie Jacobs
LCSW/Program Director
Evie came to the realization at a very young age that helping others was her calling and gift. Her calling was validated for her during her internships for her undergraduate degree at Indiana Wesleyan University. Evie has been working in the field of Mental Health since 1996. She graduated from IU School of Social Work in 2001 with her Masters in Social Work. She has witnessed the brokenness that depression can cause for individuals and their families. Evie is constantly looking for new ideas for the treatment of and freedom from depression. Clients who have worked with Evie consistently share that her realness and honesty are both refreshing and beneficial in their recovery process. Evie practices a life of gratitude and encourages her clients to find the joy in any given situation. Evie is very excited about what the treatment of TMS has to offer clients who continue to struggle with depression despite their commitment to medication and therapy. Sometimes medication and therapy aren’t enough on their own. Evie believes TMS is the answer to that.
Evie married Jon in 1999. Together they have four children, Thomas, Abi, Stephen and Mary. She also is a Nana to Liam, Oliver and Layla. Second only to her faith, family is her top priority. She lives out her priorities in all that she does. Evie often jokes that her children and now grandchildren provide enough material for her to move to Vegas and be a stand up comedian. Evie has been quoted stating that they are the light in her life and cause her to smile even when there is nothing else to smile about.
Evie loves to spend time with her family. In addition, she loves to read and is learning to just be still and breathe. Evie is very interested in Enneagram work and is doing much training and reading on that subject. Evie loves her sports. She is an avid Chicago fan, loving her Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls and Cubs. She also is a Michigan fan which makes office life interesting between her and Patrick, especially during the college football season. You will often find Evie in her latest team apparel, supporting their season.
Most important to note is that in 2021, Evie and Jon visited Maine for the first time and it has now become an annual trip. Mentioning Maine will stop Evie in her tracks as she believes everyone should experience Maine at least once in their life. She can talk about Maine for hours!!! If you ever plan a trip to Maine, Evie has a list of places that are a must see.
