Reclaim Connection. Reset Your Home. Rewrite Your Story.
Dr. Sassy is on a mission to heal disconnection.
We all deserve the joy and delight that comes from deep connection with those we love. Yet in today’s digital age, everything seems designed to pull us apart. Families live distracted, kids grow up in front of screens, and homes often feel more chaotic than calm.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
That’s why Dr. Stacy Jagger created The Mountain Method—a proven, research-backed path to help families disconnect from screens and reconnect with each other. The Mountain Method is a 5-phase framework designed to bring families back to what matters most: connection, calm, and joy.
Three Pillars of Dr. Stacy Jagger's Mountain Method:
1. Digital Detox – A 30-day family reset from entertainment-based screen time.
2. Nervous System Regulation – Tools to calm chaos, soothe stress, and create emotional safety.
3. The Power of Play – Relearning the native language of childhood to strengthen bonds.
If you’ve ever thought:
- “I’m doing everything, but something still feels missing.”
- “We’re together, but not really connected.”
- “I want my home to feel calm—but don’t know how to get there.”
You’re not alone. The Mountain Method was made for you.
The Dr. Sassy family of companies exists to nurture children and families back into their natural state of creativity and wonder—through screen-free connection, nature exploration, playful engagement, and heart-centered humor. Because your connection is worth our investment.
At the heart of it all is Dr. Stacy Jagger—Founder of Music City Family Therapy, creator of the Mountain Method, author of The 30 Day Blackout, and frequent mental health contributor in her hometown of Nashville, TN. Nicknamed “Dr. Sassy” by clients, Stacy is praised for her connection-based, rapid-results approach to family challenges. With humor, creativity, and hard truths spoken with love, she’s been helping families heal since 2012.
Dr. Jagger has distilled more than a decade of expertise into services and tools that empower families, clinicians, and executives to reconnect—with themselves, their loved ones, and their life’s purpose.
Our Core Values
Truth at the Trailhead.
Every journey begins with honesty. I tell the truth—even when it’s hard—because truth is the compass that builds trust and points families toward connection.
Generosity as Our Gear.
We climb equipped with generosity—time, resources, and care. Giving freely lightens the load and creates joy along the way.
Creativity on the Open Trail.
Screen-free play, nature, and community are the wide-open spaces where creativity flourishes. These shared moments reconnect families and spark joy.
Honoring the Child Within as Our Guide.
Like explorers on the mountain path, we honor the child within every person. Curiosity, wonder, and play are the trail markers that lead us higher and heal us along the way.
Scrappy & Sassy in the Climb.
The climb takes grit. We meet challenges with resilience, resourcefulness, and a touch of sass—making even the steepest trails lighter and more fun.
Assurance at the Summit.
At the peak of the Mountain Method journey, families discover a deep truth: no matter what storms arise, together—we can trust it’s gonna be alright.
