About me

Steph Bayan is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the Hudson Valley, New York, offering therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups at Solomon Therapy. With extensive experience from her time at Counseling West, a nonprofit clinic in California, Steph has developed a unique therapeutic approach that integrates mindfulness-based therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and somatic therapy to support nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and emotional healing.

Steph’s therapeutic work is deeply informed by her personal journey with grief and motherhood, which fuels her commitment to helping clients achieve personal growth, empowerment, and emotional well-being. She is dedicated to providing trauma-informed therapy through a culturally sensitive lens, offering a supportive space for clients to find freedom and wholeness.

Specializing in treating depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, relationship issues, and life transitions (including pregnancy and postpartum), Steph offers compassionate support to individuals navigating challenging life changes. In addition, she facilitates grief support groups and workshops to foster healing in a group setting.

With a background in creative industries, Steph uniquely integrates her knowledge of creative fields and psychotherapy, offering therapy that addresses the specific needs and challenges faced by individuals in creative professions.
