Mais founded MSC after fifteen years of sitting with people through some of the hardest chapters of their lives. The center’s promise, “Always by your side,” is her own: that no one who walks through the door should feel they are facing things alone. Her clinical focus is trauma, and she uses EMDR to help people process painful memories so they stop weighing on the present.
