"As a professional mariner sailing deep sea for the last twenty years, having a therapist has been an essential tool to my continued success mentally and professionally.

I wish I had a therapist for the entire twenty years I’d been sailing, but I was truly fortunate to find Maisa Ziegler 4 years ago. Having support from someone who also understands life at sea has put her in a unique position to grasp the challenges I face at home and at work.

I am so grateful for her continued support services. Having telehealth therapy that can shift with a ship's schedule is above and beyond. Not having to explain what it means to live on a ship for months at a time and work every one of those days saves hours of crucial time to focus on the important things.

I hope for all my fellow mariners that they are able to work with a mindset specialist as well-versed in all things maritime, as insightful, and as compassionate as Maisa."

"Having been in the maritime industry for over 20 years, I was reluctant to reach out for any help regarding the mental health struggles encountered while working at sea. I was part of the 'put your head down, do what you are told, and don’t cause problems' culture for women in the industry. I thought that was okay…

I had no idea there were resources out there for women navigating life at sea. Connecting with Maisa was life-changing. She helped me transition from captain to pilot and connected me with a network of female mariners who now feel like family.

Being able to connect with someone who truly understands life at sea and can provide real-life experience and insight makes a substantial difference in the quality of support Maisa provides."

"I heard about Maisa through colleagues in my company. I had been searching for a therapist for about a month without finding anyone I connected with. The moment I met Maisa via video chat, I knew this would be different.

She already understood my job because of her own experiences with life at sea, so our sessions focused on my actual needs instead of explaining my work. Maisa has a way of helping me puzzle out aspects of my thoughts that I’ve had trouble putting into words.

She helped me overcome PTSD and anger, bringing me back to seeing beauty in the world. Most incredibly, she got me to a place where I could take a break from therapy entirely and continue in a healthy mental state. Maisa is an incredible guide with my full trust, and I know I can turn to her anytime life at sea throws new challenges my way."
