Sail Through Chaos
Healing doesn’t stop when therapy ends — and for some, it doesn’t start there at all. That’s why we created Sail Through Chaos, our new flagship program designed especially for queer and trans individuals as well as our allies who are ready for deep, responsive support.
This isn’t a once-a-week chat or a set of self-help videos — it’s a living, breathing space where you get daily interaction, personalized feedback, and a real community that sees you.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just done trying to figure it all out on your own, this is the support you’ve been looking for. With live coaching, guided exercises, structured tools, and an affirming community built around resilience and growth, Sail Through Chaos helps you stop spinning and start moving. Get started today — and discover what’s possible when support finally meets you where you are.
Support that doesn't end when shit gets real.
I'm Mark Muse—I help queer and trans adults who know themselves well but still feel stuck in the same exhausting cycles.
You've done therapy. You've done the reflection. You know what the problems are, but knowing hasn't been enough to change how life feels.
That ends here.
I help you turn insight into action with support that doesn't disappear when life gets hard. No 12-week sprint that ends before anything sticks. No waiting rooms between sessions while you white-knuckle it alone. Just steady, responsive support that moves with you—for as long as you need it.
This is Sail Through Chaos: ongoing coaching and community designed for people who are done trying to fit their messy, real life into neat program schedules.
You’ve done the work, so why does progress keep slipping when life spikes?
Because most support ends on a schedule, not when you're ready.
Because programs assume life will cooperate — that you'll have the same energy in week 8 as week 1.
Because knowing what's wrong and changing it are two different things. The second one needs someone in your corner for the long haul.
Insight fades when chaos returns. What you need isn't another sprint. You need steady, personalized support that stays. I'm here to walk that with you, at your pace.
I get it because I've been there.
Like many of my clients, I've faced burnout firsthand. Rebuilding my own sense of purpose taught me that real change doesn't come from pushing harder—it comes from being supported differently.
As a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience in gender-affirming care and trauma work, I bring practical, compassionate support designed for sustainability, not survival.
I've walked with hundreds of queer and trans folks through identity shifts, relationship changes, career pivots, and recovery from burnout. I know what it takes to not just survive but actually build a life that feels right.
If you're ready for support that fits your real life—not another program that abandons you when things get messy—let's talk.
Sail Through Chaos
Support that stays when chaos hits.
Life doesn't pause for your program to finish. Sail Through Chaos is ongoing coaching and community that moves with your capacity, not against it.
You get:
-
Quick clarity - Start with a conversation about what's happening now, get a personalized path within days
-
Your direction, not a template - Support shaped to your pace, energy, values, and goals
-
Real accountability - Regular coaching, daily community interaction, and consistent feedback
-
Support that adapts - When life changes, your support evolves with you
This isn't weekly appointments where you manage alone between sessions. This is daily access to guidance, community, and someone who sees the patterns you can't see when you're in them.
When chaos hits, your support doesn't end—it deepens.
This for if you're:
-
Ready for more than appointments — You need ongoing support, not just weekly check-ins with gaps in between
-
Rebuilding after burnout — You're recovering capacity without going back to the grind that broke you
-
Navigating identity or relationship shifts — You're redefining your direction, roles, and boundaries
-
Done figuring it out alone — You have the insight; you need implementation with steady feedback
How it works
-
Start with a conversation about what's happening now and where you want to go
-
Get a personalized path that fits your pace, energy, and goals—not a cookie-cutter program
-
Stay connected through coaching sessions, community support, and consistent feedback
-
Adjust as life changes — your support evolves with you, for as long as you need it
