🌿 Meet Peyton Baldinger, MS, LMFT
Site Director & Trauma Therapist – Gold River, CA
Congratulations, Peyton, on your new license!
Peyton Baldinger serves as the Site Director of Freedom Counseling Group’s Gold River office and provides trauma-informed therapy to individuals seeking deeper, lasting healing.
Peyton holds a BA in Philosophy and Theology from Point Loma Nazarene University and an MS in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. She is EMDR trained, a Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), and has completed EFT Externship training.
Peyton is especially passionate about working with individuals who feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in patterns shaped by past experiences. Many clients describe feeling like they are “white-knuckling” their way through life—appearing capable on the outside while internally struggling with anxiety, numbness, or hypervigilance.
Her therapeutic approach focuses on healing the root causes of distress through EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and mindfulness-informed somatic practices. Rather than trying to “fix” clients, Peyton partners with them to help their nervous system find balance and safety again.
Peyton provides in-person therapy in Gold River and surrounding communities, as well as secure telehealth services for clients throughout California.
If you’re ready to move beyond survival mode and toward a more grounded, fulfilling life, Peyton would be honored to walk alongside you.
