You’re wondering how you got here. Hurting yourself is not filling the void and it’s not making the numbness or the bad feelings go away. You’re feeling sad, unmotivated, drained, lost, anxious, and wondering how you will get through another day. Meeting new friends should be the best part of your life but you still can’t let yourself trust anyone or maybe not even trust yourself. You’re ready to release the hopelessness. How would it feel to have a life of support, feeling safe to trust in healthy relationships, feeling fulfilled in life, and feeling joy in what makes you happy?

Do you find yourself feeling mentally or emotionally overwhelmed? Are you going through a life change that has you wondering what "normal" even means anymore? Have you felt missed (unseen/unheard), lonely, disposable, or unwanted by others (or yourself)? Are you struggling with self-worth, personal identity, and meaning-making? Are you having difficulty navigating the pressures that come with cultivating healthy-wholehearted relationships? What would it be like to feel yourself authentically as well as a genuine connection with others? When you envision your best life, what would you need to change to make that your reality?

I support clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, suicidal ideation, and more. I have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse. My counseling style is centered around empowering clients and helping them discover their own solutions. I seek to listen first, and always strive to gain a thorough understanding of an individual so that I acquire a keen awareness of their experiences. I believe in the utmost need for connection and a trusting therapeutic alliance for positive outcomes to be a result of counseling.

I believe the therapy process involves forming a relationship with someone who you can share your innermost thoughts and struggles with. Everyone should be able to share their problems with a trusted individual in an environment that is safe and free from judgement. I provide my clients with an environment free from judgement where you can let your guard down and just be you. Admitting that you need help doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, it means you are ready to grow and better understand yourself.

Are you someone who has experienced a big transition in life? Has worry creeped in as you wonder what are your next steps? Are you struggling with communication and unhealthy relationships? Are you dealing with overwhelming stress due to the pressures of life? Are you searching for meaning and/or just beginning your spiritual journey? Though these are all tough situations, it does not have to be your end. Becoming aware of your current position and where you want to go is key. You can tackle the next stage of life, anxiety, relationships, and spirituality with the help of a therapist.

Hey, I'm Leilani Mason and I am an individual and couple therapist here at Healthy Minds Consulting LLC. 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.

“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, ‘Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it’s like to be me" (Carl Rogers). I believe that therapy is an equal partnership and I view my clients as experts in their own lives. Through mutual respect, empathetic listening, and positive regard, I work alongside my clients to help them find resolution and peace.

Let me begin by thanking you for taking the difficult step of addressing your or a loved one's substance abuse problem. I have 30 years of experience in substance abuse and the counseling there of. I have a public and private background in the field, having worked for non-profit rehabilitation facilities, private practice and judicial drug court systems. Through individual counseling, assessments/evaluations and compassionate caring I have helped hundreds find their way back to a normal happy life. Let's start that journey together today.

Why try therapy? Because you deserve it. You deserve to be listened to, to be understood and not told to "just snap out of it". You deserve to take care of yourself, to feel good about yourself and to believe that you matter. You deserve to learn ways to manage and deal with depression, anxiety, the past, addictive behaviors, negative self-talk, feelings of worthlessness, and/or overwhelming life issues so that they do not dominate and control your life.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! It's tough being a human sometimes. If overthinking was a sport, you'd always win first place. Those first place medals would include: predicting the future, thinking about the worst possible outcomes, or having to be in control of every aspect of your life. Maybe you're just not feeling that "self love" people go on about, but want to be able to show yourself the love and compassion you deserve. Maybe you just need someone to process life with who isn't your best friend. Because let's face it, life can be hard! I want you to know, I can help and things can get better!

My practice primarily serves military veterans, service members, first responders, and other persons who are struggling with emotional, relational, and/or spiritual issues related to trauma, loss, and addiction. I rely heavily on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and other empirically supported approaches. I also believe that spirituality and/or religious faith can provide powerful sources of strength and suffering in the healing process. As such, I enjoy assuming a holistic approach according to my clients' core beliefs/values in a manner that ultimately leads to greater meaning, purpose, and belonging in life.
