About
I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, and psychotic disorders. Many of the clients I support feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck and are seeking clarity, stability, and relief.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from the University of South Alabama. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and compassionate, with a focus on understanding each client’s full experience, strengths, and goals. I provide thoughtful evaluations, clear education, and treatment planning that may include medication management and supportive care.
Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to meet clients with respect, understanding, and support while helping them improve emotional well-being and daily functioning. I would be honored to support you as you take the next step toward healing and growth when you feel ready.

As an experienced Psychiatric Provider, I understand that your treatment goals are important, and I will work closely with you to achieve your goals.
Hello! My name is Sherry McCoy and I am an ANCC certified Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist. I have been working in this role since 2011. Prior to 2011, I spent many years working as an RN. I treat patients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, and many other psychiatric issues. I enjoy helping people achieve the best possible version of themselves! When I see a new patient for the first time, I like to get to know them. I ask questions both about your history, and your future treatment goals in order to help you identify the most appropriate treatment plan possible.
I believe that your treatment plan should reflect both where you are currently, and where you would like to be in the future. I will do my best to help you achieve your goals!
Everyone should have the opportunity to be the best version of themselves possible. I would be honored to work with you to achieve your personal treatment goals. If you are ready to begin this journey, please schedule an appointment and we will get started as soon as possible.

As a therapist, I bring warmth, compassion, and curiosity to our work together, meeting you where you are while supporting meaningful and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, family conflict, and life's many transitions. My approach is strength-based, holistic, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Columbia University and have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). Throughout my career, I have supported individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges.
I believe therapy is most effective when it is built on trust, collaboration, and connection. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore your experiences. Together, we will build on your strengths, navigate life's challenges, and work toward goals that align with your values.

As a Black, queer, lesbian, disabled veteran and aging practitioner, I bring lived experience and clinical care to create a nonjudgmental, collaborative space where clients can reflect on their life experiences, share their stories, uncover meaning, and build practical skills to cope and live with intention.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience supporting older adults, family caregivers, veterans, and individuals within LGBTQIA2S+ communities. As a Black, queer, lesbian, disabled veteran, I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to my work. I often support clients navigating life transitions, caregiving stress, trauma, identity concerns, grief, and the emotional weight of long-held experiences.
I earned my Doctorate of Social Work from Tulane University. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, grounded in respect for lived experience. I integrate reflection, meaning-making, and practical coping skills to help clients process trauma, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen self-trust.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you have been carrying a lot for a long time. You do not have to have everything figured out. If you are seeking a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space to reflect, heal, and move forward at your own pace, I would be honored to support you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss counseling is to take everything at the client's pace. Grief and loss can be complex and deserve gentle guidance and assistance.
While this list is not exhaustive, I teach the following tools in grief and loss therapy:
A client making meaningful progress in grief and loss therapy will look different from person to person. Grief and loss are multi-faceted; there is likely no singular end goal or point where a person will be able to say that their grief or loss no longer impacts them in some way. Rather, a person knows they are making progress when they can cope with the negative impacts and make meaning out of their experience.
Clients can supplement their time in grief and loss counseling by giving themselves a lot of grace, patience, and time. Lean on a consistent support person and reach out when needed.
To prepare for your first session for concerns of grief and loss, I encourage individuals to simply show up as they are, and to not put too much pressure on themselves. You get to decide how much information you share in the first session and can decide how much time to spend talking about grief and loss.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Colorado Springs, CO have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Colorado Springs, CO will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
