At Nurtured Oak Therapy, we walk alongside you, holding space for your story as you rediscover your strength, deepen self-understanding, and build a life that feels grounded, authentic, and whole.
Shyann Moncrieff RSW, CC-PMH
Hey, I’m Shyann. I'm so glad you’re here.
My approach to therapy is compassionate, relational, and tailored to you. I pull from a variety of evidence-based approaches and offer a space where you can slow down, feel seen, and make sense of what you’re carrying without judgment. Together, we explore your emotions, your responses to stress, and the patterns that show up in your relationships and daily life. We get curious about what has shaped you, what has helped you survive, and what you might want to shift or soften. I am especially passionate about supporting perinatal mental health, motherhood, identity shifts, reproductive and birth trauma, and perinatal grief and loss.
I aim to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and non-judgmental, where you can slow down and feel supported in whatever you are carrying. I hold the idea that you are not broken, but shaped by your environment and experiences. With compassion, openness, and (sometimes) humour, I support you in reconnecting with yourself.
I am a friend, activist, sister, daughter, mom, and recovering people pleaser (to name a few). At my core, I value connection, a good laugh, and the belief that we are all doing our best while carrying a lifetime of experiences that shape how we see the world. It would be an honour to hear your story and get to know you.
