Hi, I’m Sheena Howard.

I’m a Nurse Practitioner, Psychotherapist, and Entrepreneur, and I help nurses build sustainable, thriving businesses that align with their passion and expertise.

I started my own private practice, Acceptance Nurse Psychotherapy, from my bathtub (yes, really!) after realizing that nurses deserved more autonomy in their careers. What started as a leap of faith grew into Canada’s first psychotherapy clinic exclusively staffed by nurses and nurse practitioners — a space where we provide compassionate, trauma-informed mental health care to clients across Ontario.

But my journey didn’t stop there. After navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, I knew I wanted to help other nurses build businesses that give them freedom, financial stability, and a real impact. That’s why I founded BizNurse Savvy — a mentorship platform that provides nurses in private practice, wellness, aesthetics, consulting, and beyond with the tools, strategy, and confidence to grow.

Whether you’re looking for support in your business or seeking mental health care, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s do something incredible together!

    BizNurse Savvy

    I created BizNurse Savvy because I believe that nurses deserve financial freedom, career autonomy, and the ability to build businesses that truly make an impact. I know firsthand the challenges of stepping into entrepreneurship—figuring out marketing, navigating business systems, and learning how to attract the right clients.

    Through The GROW Program, marketing masterminds, and strategic planning retreats, I help nurses turn their skills and expertise into sustainable, thriving businesses. Whether you’re growing a private practice, wellness clinic, consulting business, or another nursing-led venture, you don’t have to do it alone. BizNurse Savvy is here to give you the tools, strategies, and support to make your business a success.

    Acceptance Nurse Psychotherapy

    When I launched Acceptance Nurse Psychotherapy, I set out to create something different—a space where nurses and nurse practitioners could provide mental health care that is trauma-informed, compassionate, and truly understands the full scope of a person’s well-being.

    We are Canada’s first psychotherapy clinic exclusively staffed by nurses and nurse practitioners, and we’re committed to making therapy more accessible to those who need it. Whether it’s ADHD support, trauma therapy, or mental health care that meets clients where they are, we offer both in-person and virtual services across Ontario.
