Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmichai Amar is a multidisciplinary practitioner who transitioned from a 13-year technology and hardware career into integral counseling psychology and experiential psychotherapy in San Francisco. Trained in Internal Family Systems and pursuing further modalities, he blends rigorous systems thinking with hands-on therapeutic practice and research into how psychotherapy works, including psychotherapeutic frameworks that incorporate psychedelics. His background as a founder, product lead and engineering program manager—spanning IoT, wearable hardware, firmware, industrial design and supply-chain management—gives him a rare lens on integrating complex technical, creative, and human systems. Notably, he built and brought to market an illuminated jewelry line and created a programming language during earlier ventures, demonstrating a persistent drive to marry art, technology and manufacturing. Amichai volunteers experience in crisis counseling and is completing clinical hours toward certification, combining operational discipline with a deep interest in therapeutic efficacy.
