ABOUT HUDSON VALLEY HOLISTIC THERAPY
A place to come back to yourself
Life can pull us away from ourselves in ways we don't always recognize. Grief, anxiety, relationships, parenthood, and change can leave us questioning what we feel, what we need, or where we go from here.
At Hudson Valley Holistic Therapy, we believe therapy can be a place to listen more closely—to your emotions, your body, your relationships, and the parts of yourself that may have been asking for your attention.
Our Approach
Hudson Valley Holistic Therapy is a psychotherapy practice in Rhinebeck, NY, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy in person in the Hudson Valley and virtually throughout New York and New Jersey.
We believe therapy is most meaningful when it makes room for the whole person—not only your thoughts, but your emotions, relationships, history, and the ways your experiences are held in the body.
Our work draws from evidence-based approaches while incorporating mindfulness and body-based awareness. Rather than following a single method, we pay attention to what is happening for you and what may be most supportive in that moment.
Sometimes that means understanding the patterns that keep repeating. Sometimes it means learning to stay with an emotion rather than immediately trying to change it. And sometimes it means slowing down enough to notice what your body has been communicating all along.
RELATIONAL
Therapy rooted in connection, curiosity, and the relationship we build together.
INTEGRATIVE
An approach shaped around you, drawing from different therapeutic perspectives rather than one prescribed method.
MIND + BODY
Making space for what you think and feel—and what your body may be communicating.

Meet Steph
STEPH BAYAN, LMFT
Founder, Hudson Valley Holistic Therapy
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Hudson Valley Holistic Therapy, offering in-person therapy in Rhinebeck, NY, and virtual therapy throughout New York and New Jersey. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating grief, anxiety, relationships, parenthood, identity, and significant life transitions.
My approach is shaped by a genuine curiosity about people—how our experiences shape us, how our relationships affect us, and what can shift when we begin paying attention to ourselves differently. I bring warmth, honesty, and humor into the therapy room, along with an appreciation for the things that don’t always fit neatly into words.
My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight one. Before this work, I spent years in the music industry, and my own experiences with grief and change eventually led me somewhere I hadn’t expected. Those experiences continue to shape the therapist I am today.
