About Me

My name is Leilani Mason, LICSW-S, PIP. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDR Consultant licensed in Alabama and Florida, and the owner of Healthy Minds Consulting in Atmore, Alabama.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and moral injury, with a particular passion for serving first responders, veterans, healthcare professionals, and others carrying the impact of difficult or morally complex experiences.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on meaningful change. I integrate EMDR with parts work, somatic and nervous-system regulation, and other evidence-informed approaches. For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian faith and spirituality into the healing process.

In addition to clinical practice, I provide EMDR consultation and professional training in trauma and moral injury. I believe healing is about more than reducing symptoms—it is helping people reconnect with who they are, restore meaning and hope, and move forward with greater freedom.
