Saya Des Marais, MSW

Saya is a mental health content writer with over a decade of experience working as a mental health professional. She's trained in practices like EMDR and Motivational Interviewing, and worked with people battling addiction and co-occurring disorders in her former life as a clinical social worker. Addiction is also a personal matter to her - many people very dear to her are in recovery. The most important thing to her as a writer is creating mental health content that is helpful, and not confusing - the last thing you need when you're trying to beat mental illness or addiction is bad information.
