Sergei Evans, LCSW, is a visionary leader, licensed clinical social worker, and passionate wellness advocate whose career has been defined by a singular mission: to build systems and empower individuals and communities by seeing the whole person—not just the problem. With over 13 years of diverse experience in clinical practice, social justice advocacy, operations leadership, and entrepreneurship, Sergei brings a unique and deeply compassionate lens to every professional endeavor. As the Founder of LifeCourse, he has turned a personal philosophy into a thriving wellness community that champions transformation, resilience, and holistic healing.
Sergei’s journey into the behavioral health and wellness sectors is rooted in both lived experience and academic rigor. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Psychology from Curry College, where he demonstrated early leadership through academic honors and co-curricular involvement. He then pursued a Master’s in Social Work at Simmons University, equipping himself with the clinical foundations and ethical standards needed to lead in today’s complex mental health landscape. His education laid the groundwork for a career characterized by innovation, evidence-based practice, and a deep-seated belief in systemic change.
From the outset of his professional life, Sergei gravitated toward roles that required strength in both leadership and service. His early experiences as a Residential Counselor and Liaison Officer at respected institutions like Bay State Community Services and Boston Children’s Hospital provided vital exposure to public safety, trauma-informed care, and interdisciplinary collaboration. These formative positions sharpened his ability to lead under pressure while centering the dignity and safety of vulnerable populations.
In later roles, Sergei took on increasingly complex challenges, emerging as a recognized force in clinical program development and operational strategy. At Recovery Centers of America, he managed acute inpatient caseloads and drove coordination among multidisciplinary teams. His tenure at Aseda Suboxone and Wellness was particularly transformative, where, as Clinical Director, he helped streamline operations, introduced HIPAA-compliant technology solutions, and provided high-level supervision in dual-diagnosis care. His leadership not only elevated standards of care but reinforced the ethical backbone of the agency, ensuring alignment with NASW best practices.
Currently serving as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Vendetti Wellness Group, Sergei continues to deliver person-centered care, working with clients in trauma recovery and crisis intervention. Whether leading psychoeducational groups or designing treatment plans grounded in CBT and DBT, he fosters environments of empowerment and restoration. His ability to connect, guide, and innovate has positioned him as a trusted figure within therapeutic communities and among professional peers.
Sergei’s impact, however, extends far beyond clinical settings. As Founder of LifeCourse, he has built a scalable model of wellness that integrates mental, emotional, and financial well-being. LifeCourse is a living testament to Sergei’s systems-thinking approach and entrepreneurial foresight. Through LifeCourse, he not only delivers services but designs ecosystems that support sustainable personal and community development. His vision emphasizes accessibility, authenticity, and measurable impact—core values that define both his personal and professional life.
What distinguishes Sergei is his unwavering commitment to equity and advocacy. His work often intersects with social justice issues, from providing domestic violence counseling at Independence House to engaging in policy-level thinking during his graduate coursework. He views the therapeutic alliance as a sacred space for empowerment, and he extends this philosophy into his affiliations, such as his membership in the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). Sergei’s practice is informed by a recognition of systemic barriers and a dedication to dismantling them through education, dialogue, and action.
Sergei is also a lifelong learner and an accomplished professional development participant. His certifications—including Clinical Supervision, Life Coaching, and Behavioral Health Crisis Care—reflect a commitment to sharpening his skills and expanding his influence. He recently completed the Board Member Essentials Certificate with Boardsi, signaling his readiness to contribute to organizational leadership at a strategic level. This step marks a pivotal evolution in his career: from practitioner to advisor, from systems builder to board-level influencer.
His interests in board service are deeply aligned with his values and expertise. Sergei is particularly drawn to industries such as nonprofit, education, healthcare, and social justice—arenas where ethical governance and mission-driven leadership are paramount. He brings to boardrooms not only clinical acumen but also operational insight, strategic vision, and a relentless drive to create lasting change. Whether advising on DEI initiatives, mental health frameworks, or community engagement, Sergei leads with authenticity, empathy, and purpose.
Beyond the professional sphere, Sergei is a passionate individual with interests that reflect his values of balance, growth, and innovation. He is an aviation enthusiast, a wellness advocate, and a firm believer in the power of storytelling to heal and inspire.
