Gary Reiss holds a Masters degree in Social Work from Washington University, St. Louis; a Doctorate in Psychology from Union Institute and University; and a Diploma in Process Oriented Psychology.
He has been in private practice in Oregon as a LCSW for over 30 years, and teaches worldwide as a Certified Process Oriented Psychology Trainer.
Within his community, Gary has been active for many years in the Middle-East peace group, as well as other community and parent associations.
Gary's lifelong deep love for Nature has often led him to the wilderness for inspiration and renewal. He makes his home on a farm in rural Oregon, where he houses a small herd of infirm horses. He also goes on retreat to the wild Oregon coast, where he does much of his writing.
He stays active with a regular Akido practice, as well as a vigorous daily run, which he loves to use as a time for considering and discussing new ideas, dreams, and theories.
