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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Insomnia therapy is a tailored form of treatment that addresses chronic sleep disturbances, which can include problems with falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restorative sleep. The goal of Insomnia therapy is to enhance sleep quality, establish healthy sleep routines, and, in turn, improve an individual’s overall well-being by mitigating and reducing the adverse effects of persistent sleep deprivation.
Insomnia therapy combines therapeutic approaches, with a central focus on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to modify sleep-disrupting thoughts and behaviors, integrating techniques like stimulus control, sleep restriction, and relaxation training. Thriveworks Westminster therapists will also emphasize sleep hygiene education and may include mindfulness and relaxation exercises to improve sleep quality, equipping individuals with effective strategies to enhance their sleep and overall well-being.
Common symptoms of insomnia include:
Symptoms of insomnia often look different for everyone; however, there are some warning signs that can signal the need for insomnia therapy. These include feeling anxious about bedtime, bedtimes getting later and later, energy peaking at night rather than during the day, and drastic caffeine consumption in order to stay awake.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is one of the most effective forms of therapy for treating insomnia, working to modify sleep-disrupting thoughts and behaviors through strategies like sleep hygiene and sleep restriction.
Insomnia therapy at Thriveworks Westminster is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of insomnia therapy can vary based on the individual’s needs and progress in treatment. Typically, it involves a short series of sessions over a few weeks to a couple of months, with the number and length of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist. Some experience better sleep within this time, while others choose longer therapy to address complex sleep issues or maintain good sleep habits.
Many people start to see improvements in their sleep patterns after about two to three weeks of CBT-I. However, the duration and effectiveness will differ for everyone, so don’t worry if it takes a bit longer to have a strong effect.
It’s hard to imagine anyone who doesn’t enjoy a sound sleep which leaves them feeling rested and ready to go the next morning. Even if you aren’t someone who wants to sleep for nine or ten hours at a time, you certainly cherish the sleep that you do get. Sleep is a basic human need, and without it, none of us are able to function up to our potential.
With that in mind, it is not hard to see why insomnia can be such a debilitating condition. When you are struggling to sleep, everything that you take for granted suddenly becomes more difficult. Whether it is your ability to focus at the office or pay attention to traffic behind the wheel, life in general is more difficult when you are fatigued. If you find yourself currently struggling with a degree of insomnia in or around the Westminster area, we would love to help. Our insomnia therapy services are no guaranteed cure, but they certainly do offer you an opportunity to regain those crucial hours of sleep each night.
One of the frustrating aspects of insomnia is how it can seemingly come on out of nowhere. People who once sleep soundly all night long may find themselves lying on the bed wide awake without any explanation. Some of the potential underlying causes of insomnia can include:
No matter what it is that has caused you to struggle with insomnia, the key is getting to the bottom of the problem as soon as possible. Whether the eventual cure is counseling for insomnia or some other treatment, the only thing that matters is getting you the sleep that you need.
We are proud to offer the people of Westminster our counseling for insomnia services. If you would like to give us a call at your convenience, we will be happy to review your treatment options and help you get started on the path toward better sleep. We offer weekend and evening sessions, and we accept most major insurances. in addition, we can often meet with clients the same week as scheduling. Reach out today to get started.
