Leilani Mason, LICSW-S, Certified EMDR Therapist, CIT & Owner
Hey, I am Leilani and I am a therapist, business owner, mom, believer, and animal lover. 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. One of my most effective skills is utilizing EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to treat 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. I also enjoy working with first responders and our military veterans.
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. 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.
You can learn more about EMDR by visiting EMDRIA- EMDR International Association.
Jennifer Little, LMFT-S Certified EMDR Therapist & Clinical Director
My name is Jennifer Little, I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in the states of Florida and Alabama. I enjoy working with all ages, including children, teens and adults. I would describe my counseling style as fun, collaborative, integrative, and calming, with the overall theme of the therapy room to always be a judgment free zone. I tend to utilize a combination of approaches tailored to the individual needs of my client including but not limited to cognitive behavioral, solutions focused and EMDR therapy. I also love to incorporate play into therapy with children, as play is their first language. I believe that the overall goal of therapy is to help you to get “unstuck” from negative patterns by helping you to develop new healthier ways of coping with your feelings, emotions, memories and life stressors, as well as resolving any trauma you may have experienced. I look forward to working along side you on this journey to developing the best version of you.
