Sharon Martin was born and grew up in the Deep South. She received both her bachelor’s and master’s degree at Emory University in the Psychosocial Nurse Practitioner program, obtaining advanced certification as Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist. This program introduced her to the exciting work of C. G. Jung. Her fascination with his deeply spiritual and scientific approach lead to her enrollment as a training candidate at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland,where she received her diploma in Analytical Psychology in 2005. During her training she became acutely interested in the relationship between culture and gender, writing her thesis on this topic.

The Diploma has been rated by UNESCO accredited educational evaluation services as equivalent to a PhD in the philosophy of psychology. It is the only degree that is recognized by the International Association for Analytical Psychology as granting the title of Jungian Analyst.

Her philosophy of treatment is based on the theories and principles of Analytical or Depth Psychology. She also has training in traditional forms of psychotherapy and incorporates them according to each client's individual need. Jung's theory was that it is the right and privilege of every human being to live out their own unique destiny, a process he called individuation. Her belief in this divine potential in every person inspires her work as a Jungian analyst. She began her private practice in Atlanta in 1999 and has recently relocated to the lowcountry of Charleston, South Carolina. In addition to analysis and psychotherapy, Sharon lectures and gives workshops on Jungian theory.
