S5 Episode 47: Too Late To Pretend with Dr. Cecelia S. Baldwin, LPC


Listen Later

Dr. Cecelia Baldwin is a licensed professional counselor, a doctor of marriage and family therapy, an educator, and a trauma-informed therapist whose work bridges clinical expertise with deep emotional wisdom. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, Dr. Baldwin brings a grounded, integrative approach to healing with an intentional focus in nervous system science, attachment repair, and what may be most important, generational understanding. Dr. Baldwin’s work centers around emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and helping people reconnect with their inner world in ways that are both compassionate and sustainable. Dr. Baldwin is committed to helping others understand that healing doesn’t begin with fixing; it begins with listening and she offers clinical supervision, workshops, consultations, and speaks with clarity about the complexity of trauma not as a pathology, but as a pattern of protection. Dr. Baldwin teaches that what we commonly call dysfunction is often wisdom in disguise, and that our nervous systems are not broken, they’re brilliant, shaped by experience, and wired for survival. Through her presence, her teaching, and her work with clients, Dr. Baldwin reminds us that regulation is not perfection, and healing is not a destination; it’s a return to softness, to truth, and to relationship with ourselves.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting.
