As a psychologist, I am committed to attend, in the most immediate and professional manner possible, to psychological pain and suffering. — dr. stephen a. martin
AM A LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST and a certified Jungian analyst and have been in practice for nearly thirty years just west of Philadelphia in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.

During this time I have been privileged to work psychotherapeutically and analytically with clients from the Delaware Valley and beyond who have come to consult me with needs ranging from acute psychological distress to the heartfelt desire to explore their inner lives. That distress often becomes the doorway to the inner life.

As a psychologist, I am committed to attend, in the most immediate and professional manner possible, to psychological pain and suffering. This commitment is complemented by my training as a Jungian analyst and depth psychologist that enables me to facilitate the work of inner growth and healing that C. G. Jung called individuation. I have come to understand after many years of practice, that this combination is essential if one is to treat the whole person. I bring this same perspective to my practice of clinical supervision.

A graduate of the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland in 1980, it is my good fortune to have had as my teachers Jung’s own students including Liliane Frey, Jolande Jacobi, Marie-Louise von Franz, Barbara Hannah, Aniela Jaffé and C. A. Meier.

My therapeutic approach is informed by Jung’s discovery that one’s unlived life, which is often the basis of psychological pain, is expressed continually through dreams, fantasies and other symbolic material to which we seldom pay attention. By actively engaging this material in the therapeutic experience and understanding its symbolic message, as well as demonstrating its relevance for life lived now suffering can be dramatically alleviated and a more meaningful, more balanced, and more spiritually satisfying life becomes possible. Many come to consult me specifically for my Jungian orientation but many come also who are not familiar with this approach but who are referred to me for psychotherapy and profit deeply from it because of its comprehensive focus on healing and transformation.
