Gary Jordan, PhD

Gary Jordan, PhD, has over 40 years of experience in clinical psychology, behavioral assessment, individual development, and coaching. He earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology—Berkeley in 1980. Always fascinated by theories about types and styles, Gary found none of the theories that he studied integrated internal experience with observable behavior. Beginning with his doctoral dissertation and continuing through his years in private practice, he worked to create a practical, usable style theory based on perception. In 1983 he joined forces with Lynda-Ross Vega, and together they created Perceptual Style Theory™. This revolutionary psychological assessment system provides the answers for people to tap into their natural strengths and find more meaning and satisfaction in life. Gary is an expert at helping people understand themselves and using that awareness to align their actions with their natural potential. Gary is an avid reader, a music enthusiast, and a movie buff. Among his many hobbies and interests, Gary is a black belt and instructor in Shaolin Kenpo. Gary and his wife, Marcia, met when she joined one of his classes. They enjoy creating landscapes, interior design, and furniture projects.
