Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist | Author

I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist with over twenty years of experience specializing in trauma, chronic pain, and the mind-body connection. I have also authored a book called The Burning Mouth Syndrome Survival Guide, which blends memoir, mental health advice, and my lived experience with Burning Mouth Syndrome. My second book is a memoir about growing up in my mother’s religious cult, enduring years of trauma, spiritual manipulation, and family dysfunction, but it’s really a journey of awakening, resilience, healing, and purpose. The title is Surviving the Family Kingdom, with a 2026 release date, but today I’m offering the first four chapters for free. Email me at contactpeggy@peggysharr.com with the subject line “free chapters,” and you'll also be notified upon publication.
