Every Story Belongs

Liliana Baylon is a bilingual, biliterate, bicultural therapist and global speaker whose work centers on how human beings navigate difference, connection, and the unseen stories that shape our lives. She holds advanced credentials as an LMFT-S, RPT-S, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, along with an MBA and a master’s degree in Counseling & Marriage, Family, & Child Therapy.

For more than a decade, she has walked alongside families, couples, and children whose lives carry the imprints of migration, trauma, lineage, and cultural adaptation. Her clinical work began within the Latinx community, where she offered therapy and supervision in both English and Spanish. Those early years shaped her understanding of how every relationship holds multiple worlds, histories, nervous system patterns, and inherited ways of loving and protecting.

Today, Liliana is recognized internationally for helping therapists, organizations, and systems meet those worlds with clarity and compassion. Her speaking, training, and consultation practice bridges clinical expertise with cultural attunement, inviting professionals to see what often goes unnoticed in the therapy room: the subtle distances, the micro-differences, and the moments where connection becomes possible.

Her training spans EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Play Therapy, Registered Sand Therapist, and Synergetic Play Therapy. Each modality informs her approach to healing and supervision, but her work is guided by a central belief: that curiosity is the strongest pathway toward understanding ourselves and one another.

As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and EMDR Certified clinician, he specializes in trauma-focused interventions for children and families. His clinical expertise extends to training and consultation, with a particular emphasis on sand therapy, play therapy, EMDR, and attachment-based approaches.

Additionally, he holds leadership positions in the field, currently serving as the Secretary for the World Association for Sand Therapy Professionals and the President of the New Mexico Association for Play Therapy.

In 2009, Waldo co-founded Winborn Wellness & Counseling alongside Renee Winborn, LCSW. Under their leadership, the agency has expanded its reach, now providing comprehensive mental health services across four counties in Southern New Mexico.

A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Waldo brings a deep commitment to supporting individuals impacted by trauma and those who serve as caregivers and professionals in the field. Guided by the belief that “Trauma does not affect just one person; it ripples throughout the constellation in which one lives and impacts all within the system,” he remains steadfast in his mission to foster healing and resilience in individuals, families, and communities.
