Meet the Team

Co-Founder & Clinical Director

Maisa Ziegler, LCSW, has worked in women health and women’s rites of passages in mental health for over a decade.

She is Perinatal Mental Health trained through Postpartum Support International (2025) and earned her Master of Social Work from Hawaiʻi Pacific University. Her approach is relational and body-aware, honoring the emotional, physical, and identity-level shifts that accompany pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting.

Maisa has worked across outpatient, crisis, community mental health, and intensive outpatient settings. She served as a Family Therapist at Catholic Charities Hawaiʻi, providing Crisis Intervention and Intensive Home-Based Services (IHBS) for children and families navigating acute mental health challenges.

Maisa's commitment to the healing power of groups extends beyond clinical practice. She is a published author in the Journal of Psychodrama, Sociometry, and Group Psychotherapy, contributing research exploring the role of group process and therapeutic connection in mental health treatment.

Maisa integrates psychotherapy, group process, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and storytelling to support parents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, rage, identity shifts, and disconnection. She is also a long-time yoga teacher and bodyworker, and her work reflects a deep respect for the wisdom of the body, rhythm, and relationship.

The Village was born from what Maisa has witnessed personally and professionally in years of private practice: many parents need more than individual therapy during the perinatal season. They benefit from continuity of care, specialized support, shared language, and the stabilizing presence of community.
