About Evergreen Wellness Therapy

meet Stassi
I’m a feminist therapist, which means I don’t just ask what’s wrong—I ask why you feel this way in the first place.
We don’t grow up in a vacuum. From childhood, we’re shaped by systems that tell us who we should be—quiet, accommodating, self-sacrificing. These messages come from everywhere: parents, teachers, friends, movies, workplaces. Over time, they shape how we see ourselves, what we believe we’re capable of, and where we get stuck.
Women don’t just wake up burned out and exhausted—we’re conditioned into it. From an early age, we’re taught to be selfless, accommodating, and endlessly capable—aka “good girls.” And when we struggle under the weight of it all, we’re told to “make a list” or “take time for self-care,” as if the problem was ever ours to begin with. But when you come back, everything is still waiting for you—maybe even messier than before. That’s because the problem isn’t you—it’s the system you’ve been conditioned to uphold.
That’s where I come in.
My job? To help you see the system that’s been working against you from the start—so you can finally break free from it. You’ll stop playing by the unspoken rules that tell you to self-sacrifice until you resent everyone around you. Instead of running on autopilot, you’ll move through life with awareness and intention—choosing what works for you instead of what’s been handed to you.
This is where real change happens.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about waking up. It’s about moving from unconscious over-functioning to conscious decision-making. Once you see the patterns, you get to choose: Keep running yourself into the ground for everyone else’s comfort—or start building a life that actually works for you.
How we do this? A mix of deep, systemic awareness (because this isn’t just a personal problem) and real, practical tools (because insight alone doesn’t cut it). My work is grounded in:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping you recognize and rewrite the thoughts keeping you stuck.
- Narrative Therapy – Shifting the story you’ve been handed about what it means to be “good enough.”
- Feminist Therapy – Understanding how gendered expectations impact your stress, self-worth, and relationships.
- Systemic Oppression & Social Justice – Because burnout isn’t just a personal failing—it’s baked into the culture.
You don’t need another list of things to do.
You need a radical shift in how you see yourself.
