Evie Lewis-McNeil Psychotherapy

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LW61192846) in the state of Washington with over 8 years of experience. I grew up in Massachusetts, and have retained much of my east coast directness (and crassness), even after spending much of my adult life in Washington. I received my Bachelor’s in Social Welfare from the University of Washington and graduated from the University of Chicago with my Master’s degree in 2018. As a queer person, I’ve focused much of my social work career on working within the LGBTQIA+ community; after college, I worked as case manager at Fenway Health in Boston, and later as a therapist at Seattle Counseling Service. 

I have completed trainings in Internal Family Systems, Memory Reconsolidation, the Wheel of Consent, the Right Use of Power and mindfulness. My approach to therapy is informed by polyvagal theory, somatic therapy, feminist and queer theory, attachment theory and harm reduction.

I’m dedicated to the work of undoing systems of oppression. For me this means constantly working to unlearn the culture of white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism and grapple with the ways that these have shaped my clients’ experiences, as well as grapple with how they have shaped my own. This work is never done, and I am always striving to dig deeper. In our therapeutic work, I invite my clients to consider how systemic oppression has shaped both their external experiences, as well as their internal world. In my clinical work as well as my life, I strive to be anti-racist, sex-positive, gender-affirming, and body neutral/ positive. I work with clients of all identities, and welcome conversation and exploration of how these identities show up in my clients’ lives, as well as in our therapeutic relationship.
