Celebrating Michelle & Shelly!

National Nursing Week takes place this year from May 12–18, 2025, and we’re thrilled to share the theme:

"The Power of Nurses to Transform Health."

At Thrive Therapy, we couldn’t agree more — and we’re celebrating by highlighting two people who embody this power every day: Michelle and Shelly, our incredible Nurse Practitioners.

Why Do We Celebrate Nursing Week?

Nursing Week is a time to recognize the skill, compassion, and dedication that nurses bring to healthcare. It culminates on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the visionary founder of modern nursing.

Since it was first recognized in Canada in 1985, Nursing Week has been a celebration of the many ways nurses improve lives — in hospitals, homes, communities, and private practices like ours.

The Power of Nurse Practitioners

The theme this year, "The Power of Nurses to Transform Health," is especially fitting for the work Michelle and Shelly do every day.

As Nurse Practitioners (NPs), they are advanced practice nurses who:

Conduct in-depth mental health and ADHD assessments
Diagnose and treat psychiatric and medical conditions
Prescribe medication when needed
Provide holistic, client-centered care
Guide clients through complex emotional and psychological challenges

At Thrive Therapy, they are transforming health — not just through treatment, but by empowering clients with knowledge, compassion, and a path forward.

Supporting Mental Health with Heart 💚

Michelle and Shelly specialize in psychiatric care, with a focus on:

ADHD assessments and diagnosis
Mood and anxiety disorders
Hormone and mental health connections
Gender Care Services
Individualized treatment plans that address the whole person

They are the heart of Thrive’s mission — combining medical expertise with warmth, curiosity, and genuine connection.

Thank You, Michelle & Shelly!

This Nursing Week, we’re so proud to celebrate the power and impact of nursing — and especially the extraordinary care Michelle and Shelly bring to our clients.

Your knowledge transforms health. Your compassion transforms lives.

You are the power behind the care we provide.

Happy National Nursing Week!
