Meet our team of Clinicians and Staff

Compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

At Healthy Minds Consulting, our team of therapists, psychiatric providers, and support staff are committed to helping you feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you’re seeking therapy, ADHD testing, medication management, or specialized trauma care, we’re here to help you find the right fit.

I'm 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. 

My name is Emily Ponder, and I am a Licensed Social Worker licensed in Alabama. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, but I am especially passionate about helping adolescents, adults, and couples. I would describe my counseling style as warm, collaborative, and flexible—always grounded in the belief that therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel seen and heard.

I tailor each session to the individual needs of my clients, drawing from a variety of approaches, including humanistic therapy and techniques from the Gottman Method to support couples in building healthier communication patterns and navigating conflict. I also support individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship stress, divorce recovery, and life transitions. I believe everyone deserves a space to heal, grow, and be understood. My goal is to walk alongside you on your journey toward wellness, offering support, tools, and insight as you move toward the life you want. I look forward to being part of your healing process.

Hi, I’m Kelvin Murry, PMHNP-BC. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and personalized mental health care for adolescents and adults ages 12 and older. I treat a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, OCD, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, dementia, and personality disorders.

With more than 20 years of healthcare experience, I combine evidence-based treatment with a compassionate, educational approach—helping clients understand their symptoms, treatment options, and the “why” behind each recommendation. My goal is to create a collaborative, supportive environment where clients feel heard, informed, and empowered in their mental health care.

Hi! I’m Jordan Sutton, MSW, and I provide school-based mental health support at Bratt Elementary. I am a Registered Social Work Intern in the State of Florida, practicing under the supervision of Leilani Mason, LICSW-S. I’m passionate about helping children and adolescents feel supported, understood, and comfortable talking about the things they may be going through.

I take a collaborative and individualized approach to therapy, drawing from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR. My goal is to help students develop practical skills for managing emotions, working through challenges, strengthening relationships, and feeling more confident in themselves.

I believe therapy should be a space where students can be themselves without judgment. I enjoy getting to know each student as an individual and finding ways to make counseling meaningful and helpful for where they are in their lives.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to support students at Bratt and to be part of their journey toward growth and well-being.                

 Hi! My name is Alexandria Beharry, and I am a graduate student at Richmont Graduate University.

I am passionate about creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel truly seen, heard, and valued. I believe therapy should feel safe and genuine — a place where you don’t have to pretend, have it all together, or carry life’s struggles alone.

I enjoy working with people of all ages, with a special heart for adolescents and adults navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and emotional overwhelm. Life can feel heavy at times, and my hope is to walk alongside you as we untangle challenges together, build confidence, and create meaningful opportunities for healing and growth.

My approach is compassionate, relational, and centered on helping you move toward the person you desire to become. Whether you are facing a difficult season or simply looking for support and direction, I would be honored to be part of your journey.
