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.

I know how difficult it is to find a therapist, so thank you for taking the time to read this.
My professional career spans over 20 years of working in the Denver and Jefferson county community mental health systems, helping Coloradans cope with a range of diagnoses and severities. During that time I have focused on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and issues that affect men specifically. I received my master’s degree in counseling from Adams State University, and my undergraduate in social work from Phillips University.
I use the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide discussions to help rethink our situations, challenge our maladaptive beliefs, and move forward with valued actions.
In my personal life, I enjoy skiing, playing guitar, disk golf, going to concerts, and taking care of my dog. I have lived in the Denver area for over 30 years and still love to get out and play, especially if it’s free or in the mountains. If you are in need of someone to talk to I’m always willing to listen.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and sought out therapy initially as a child, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how building of new life skills can empower us once again.

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.

Art therapy from our Colorado Springs therapists taps into self-expression through creative activities like painting and drawing to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems. It helps people explore, understand, and cope with their unique challenges.
Art therapy works through the creation or even observance and appreciation of art. It empowers one to reflect on their true thoughts and emotions. Techniques commonly used in art therapy include:
Art therapy at Thriveworks in Colorado Springs, CO is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Art therapy with our providers at Thriveworks in Colorado Springs, CO can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on what challenges the client might be working through, the severity of those challenges, as well as other needs or preferences.
There’s something that calls us, as humans, to creating. The Greeks had a word for it: poiesis. It’s the root of the word poetry, and it describes the very human and natural process of stepping out of everyday expectations and reality, and into a world of imagination and creativity. This new world unhinges us and allows us to explore emotions and beliefs that talking and thinking alone can’t reach. The path to this strange new world? Creating.
For some people, traditional talk therapy just isn’t for them. That’s okay! There are many more ways to uncover what you’re feeling and thinking and grow past them into a life you want to live. Thriveworks Colorado Springs offers Expressive Arts Therapy as one such method. Reach out to Thriveworks today if you’d like to explore the benefits of art therapy. We’ll get you scheduled.
Expressive Arts Therapy is simply a professional take on the process of transitioning into a different state of mind for the purpose of healing and growing. It’s so easy for our brains to get caught up in the day-to-day routine and worries, that we push our emotions and thoughts to the side. There, they can start to fester, growing into something dangerous.
Expressing yourself through art is one way to keep this from happening and to attack a negative thought if it’s already there. The counselors at Thriveworks Colorado Springs are trained in many different techniques so we can adapt to your personality and situation. There’s never a reason you have to stay in pain and suffering.
Expressive Arts Therapy is a very broad branch of counseling, and Thriveworks Colorado Springs is eager to explore it with you. Some of the more common practices in Expressive Arts Therapy include:
And much more! The key of Expressive Arts Therapy is that it reflects your unique process. The great thing about Expressive Arts Therapy is that you don’t have to have any prior skill or experience in the art you would like to practice. At Thriveworks Colorado Springs, this type of therapy is focused on the process, not the result. Afterall, it is through the process that you explore and discover aspects of yourself. The result is not nearly as important.
The counselors at Thriveworks Colorado Springs act as a guide, but never lead the process. We might give you instructions such as, “Paint something important to you.” Or, “Write about your ideal day.” It’s important that our counselors establish trust with our clients before progressing forward with Expressive Arts. For example, we might start with journaling until you grow accustomed to our counselors and to the process of using creativity to fuel change. Then, we might move on to art or even drama.
Of course, even this is contingent on what you are comfortable with and need in your therapy session. Some people are ready to jump in with art or poetry, and others choose to stay in the lighter end of Expressive Arts such as journaling. (Lighter does not mean less effective of course! It is just a little more grounded in reality, which is what some people need and want.)
Expressive Arts Therapy has been proven to improve functioning in four distinct areas:
In other words, it encourages you to become more aware to your internal and external experiences and make changes based on that. The skills you learn in Expressive Arts Therapy will carry far beyond the counseling room.
Expressive Arts Therapy has been used to treat everyone from children to adults for everything from low self-esteem to trauma to behavioral issues. Thriveworks Colorado Springs believes there is never too small or big of a reason to see a counselor. If you are not at your healthiest, happiest self, it’s worth giving counseling a try!
Expressive Arts is a way for you to take back control of your mind and body and do so in a way that you truly enjoy. Thriveworks Colorado Springs is excited to begin this journey with you. Reach out today to schedule — we offer evening and weekend sessions, accept most major insurances, and offer additional benefits. We look forward to hearing from you!
