🌿 Meet the Team: Shelly Munro, Nurse Practitioner at Thrive Therapy!

Doug & I

Hello! I’m Shelly, a Nurse Practitioner with a passion for mental health, neurodiversity, and helping people live fuller, more authentic lives.

I’ve always believed that mental health care should feel approachable, compassionate, and real — no clinical jargon, no judgment, just genuine connection and practical support. At Thrive, I specialize in ADHD assessments, complete psychiatric assessments, and medication management, with a special focus on young adults & adults.

✨ A Bit About Me

For the better part of my career I have worked in mental health and addictions, eventually I became a Nurse Practitioner, where I could combine clinical expertise with a people-first mindset. I’m endlessly fascinated by the brain, human resilience, and how small, meaningful changes can ripple out to transform a person’s life.

I am a single mom of 3 teenagers & adults, so I can also relate on a personal level to life stressors, balancing self care with family, friend and professional obligations.

When I’m not at work, you’ll find me:

• Traveling (ask me about my latest trip!)

• Playing guitar (I have never been musically inclined but decided to try something new!)

• Diving into a new book or podcast

• Hanging out with my dog - Doug

• Spending time at my trailer, on the water, kayaking, hiking

• Trying to run - I've made a goal to run a 5k with my daughter this year!

  

  
  

🌱 Why Thrive

Thrive Therapy has been a 3 year project in the making. I have had first had experience with the mental health care system in Ontario and have seen many friends, family and clients struggle with finding good psychiatric care in a timely fashion. I decided that I could try and make a small dent in access to care issues and decided to jump into the world of private practice.

That was in 2022. Since that time, I have had the pleasure and honor of working with so many clients & families. We have grown from a team of 1, to a team of 5. I have improved access and provided quality care to many clients who were stuck on waitlists, or visiting ER on a regular basis to get the mental health support they desperately needed.

We have grown a team that values warmth, humor, honesty, and whole-person care. I believe mental health support should feel empowering, collaborative, and tailored to you — and I’m here to make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
