Occupational Therapist. Trauma Specialist. Visionary for Whole-Person Healing.

Founder of Grow in Grace Therapy & Consulting - a practice created to restore regulation, reclaim identity, and renew hope through evidence-based practice and Spirit-led care.

I am Dr. Natalie Vish—a licensed Doctor of Occupational Therapy, trauma specialist, and founder of Grow in Grace Therapy & Consulting. My work is designed to restore what traditional care has left behind: nervous system regulation, true identity, and healing that integrates the mind, body, and spirit.

During my time working in an inpatient psychiatric unit with both children and adults, I witnessed the reality behind the word “treatment.” I watched individuals in crisis get stabilized, but never truly supported. I saw trauma managed through medication, not regulation. Spiritual needs were ignored. Occupational therapy was often misunderstood or missing altogether. Patients were sent back into homes and systems that hadn’t changed—expected to function without ever being taught how to heal.

Even in environments filled with skilled and caring professionals, I saw how fragmented our mental health care really is. We were addressing behavior without understanding the body. Diagnosing without asking about the nervous system. Creating care plans without equipping people for actual restoration.

That gap is what lit the fire. I didn’t want to work around the system anymore. I began feeling the call to reform it.

Grow in Grace Therapy & Consulting was created to do just that.

This practice is not a supplement to care—it’s a redefinition of it. I offer regulation-based, trauma-informed occupational therapy that blends neuroscience, biblical truth, and real-world healing. I walk with individuals of all ages through the work of rebuilding: restoring rhythm, reprocessing trauma, and reclaiming identity.

This model is structured, clinical, and evidence-backed—but it is also rooted in grace. Because I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it. Before I ever became a therapist, I was someone navigating the system myself—overmedicated, misread, and stuck in survival mode. My healing didn’t begin until I stopped chasing symptom relief and started anchoring myself in truth: Christ, neuroscience, and regulation that works.

I became a doctor not to check boxes, but to walk with people into restoration that lasts.

This isn’t just therapy.

This is real healing people are waiting to find.
