After a decade long career as an actor, Amos refocused his passion for storytelling to be of service to individuals, couples, and families on their quest to reconcile relationships and explore identity. A native New Yorker, Amos grew up in an artistic household in the Hudson Valley, where play was encouraged as a means of expression and exploration. From an early age the theatre was a space for him to channel his energy, hone his talents, and most importantly, feel embraced by a community of likeminded folks. He discovered yoga and meditation as a teenager to help balance the high-intensity training in the performing arts and has consistently returned to this practice throughout his life to maintain equilibrium. He completed a 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in 2014 and a Trauma informed training in 2018.
Amos is a member of the Steering Committee at The Institute for Human Identity, the nation’s first and longest running provider of LGBTQ+- affirming therapy. He was involved in the New York Marriage and Family Therapy Network (NYMFTN) from 2018-2021, leading major initiatives for the past two years to increase diversity, equity, and inclusivity. Amos is an AAMFT approved supervisor and is currently participating in Mercy University’s Faculty Mentorship Fellowship. He is a part of the 2024-2026 cohort at the Institute for Contemporary Psychology’s Sex Therapy Program and is in pursuit of ASSECT certification.
Amos is founder of Kingfisher Marriage and Family Therapy, where he supervisees MFT’s from around NY and provides individual, couples and family therapy in both NY and NJ. Amos currently lives in New Jersey with his husband, their children, and dog HattieMae. For pleasure, Amos enjoys cooking, hiking in nature, and exploring all of the rich cultural variety New York City has to offer.
