Sherry Lyerly-Tarner, LCMHC

Sherry Lyerly-Tarner is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with over 13 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through difficult transitions and emotional challenges. She practices with an integrative orientation, combining traditional therapeutic methods with holistic and experiential approaches to address the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. In a compassionate and nonjudgmental setting she helps clients explore their experiences, build self-awareness, and develop practical skills for change.

Her work focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. She brings substantial training in trauma recovery and in navigating high-conflict separations, divorce, and blended family dynamics, and she offers focused support for people recovering from abusive relationships.

Sherry blends evidence-informed psychotherapy with mindfulness, somatic practices, movement-based techniques, expressive arts, and energy-focused modalities such as Reiki healing to provide a range of tools for grounding and regulation. She also has experience supporting people with disordered eating and body image concerns and has led workshops, groups, and classes on stress reduction, mindfulness, and movement for teens and adults.

Additional clinical experience includes equine-assisted psychotherapy and work with active-duty military and veterans addressing trauma-related concerns. Sherry approaches therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person’s resilience and strengths, offering practical strategies and empathetic guidance for those seeking clarity, healing, and greater balance in their lives.
