About Me

My name is Leilani Mason and I am an individual and family therapist located in Atmore Alabama. I am licensed in Alabama as well as Florida. I have been blessed with the ability to help people heal their wounds, develop a new relationship with their thoughts and transform their lives. I specialize in working with teenagers and adults struggling with self- esteem issues, depression, anxiety, loss of hope, trauma, relationships and grief & loss. I am an EMDR trained therapist. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma, panic attacks, complicated grief, dissociative disorders, disturbing memories, phobias, pain disorders, performance anxiety, stress reduction, additions, sexual and/or physical abuse, body dysmorphic disorders, and personality disorders. You can learn more about EMDR by visiting EMDRIA- EMDR International Association. I am also a trained Gottman Therapist specializing in helping couples apply clinically proven methods to manage painful conflict and restore friendship, romance and passion to their relationship. Scientifically proven methods help couples learn healthier ways to manage conflict, communicate, express feelings, find compromise and build a rich and rewarding friendship that fuels passion and romance. I work best with people who desire real progress and evolution in their lives and relationships. I am a solution focused therapist meaning I believe that we all possess strengths and resources that can be used to attain personal growth and overcome life's challenges. My job is not to judge, but to build a level of trust, provide support, insight, and encourage my clients to feel safe sharing their concerns while helping them to find a solution to their problems. Just looking into counseling demonstrates a desire for change and is the first step towards living the life you were meant to live.
