Meet Dr. Alyssa Gremban
Dr. Alyssa Gremban, OTD, OTR/L, CPST, RYT-500
Dr. Alyssa Gremban received her Clinical Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee where her doctoral research focused on early pediatric mobility and caregiver perception of disability. Dr. Alyssa also completed her Leadership Education and Specialty Certification in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Related Disabilities (LEND) from Vanderbilt University so she could better serve children with a range of neurodevelopmental diagnoses.
Additionally, Dr. Alyssa has been trained in the Sensory-Oral-Sequential (SOS) Approach to Feeding to assess and address pediatric feeding delays and disorders effectively. Before becoming an occupational therapist, Dr. Alyssa was also an Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) provider and has extensive experience working with children with behavioral delays, sensory processing differences, and related difficulties. As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, Dr. Alyssa takes pride in using children’s unique strengths to support their achievement towards developmental milestones. She has been further trained in the Developmental, Individual-Differences, and Relationship-Based (DIR) approach to therapy, which is a model that highlights the power of relationships and emotional connections to fuel development.
Dr. Alyssa established her first private practice in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2019 and successfully provided services for children and their families throughout Southern Nevada. Since relocating to Oregon, Dr. Alyssa’s mission is to increase the ease and accessibility of vital therapy services for children and their families throughout Central Oregon. Dr. Alyssa understands how frustrating it can be to be put on a waitlist and strives to provide on-time services for all children and their families so they can live fuller and independent lives!
When Dr. Alyssa is not providing therapy, you can find her practicing yoga, reading a good book with a cup of coffee, hiking, or spending time with her family.
