Flaherty, Sharon: - Dr. Sharon Flaherty, a psychologist in practice for forty years, has worked with children, adults and families in individual, group and other settings. After accepting a grant from NIMH (National Institute for Mental Health), she received her Ph.D. in 1984. Dr. Flaherty's gifts include an unquenchable desire to learn and a beginner's mind, coupled with a vision that goes beyond the limitations of what is known and accepted. Now semi-retired, Dr. Flaherty has the time and enthusiasm to spread the word about life-changing ideas and possibilities, largely overlooked, even by psychologists. Her unique perspective offers a vision of empowerment and hope. She lives in New Jersey with her family.
