Jonathan B. Singer is a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and families. He has always been an advocate of technology. In the 1990s, he created a number of Web sites for social service agencies in Austin, Texas, providing them with their first Web presences. In 1996, Jonathan developed the first electronic medical record for his employer, Austin Travis County Mental Health and Mental Retardation (ATCMHMR), leading to his involvement in the selection and pilot testing of the first agency-wide remote EMR program.
From 1996–2002, he worked for ATCMHMR as a bilingual (Spanish-English) social worker who provided individual, family, and group therapy to youth who were suicidal, homicidal, or actively psychotic, involved with juvenile courts, at risk for being expelled from school, and those having substantive family conflict problems.
From 1997-2000, Jonathan was co-owner of a group therapy practice that specialized in providing conjoint family therapy and play therapy for children whose parents were going through divorce.
From 2002–2004, he was the lead therapist for Jewish Family Service and an adjunct instructor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work. While at Jewish Family Service, he created and directed "The Parenting Center," a program that provided opportunities for unstructured networking and community-building for parents and children ages 0 to 3. In addition to providing individual and family counseling, he also led "Transparenting" workshops for parents going through divorce, a support group for single parents, and courses on ADHD, healthy relationships for teens, and resources for adoption.
As an adjunct at UT-Austin, Jonathan developed and taught the school's first Master's level Crisis Intervention course.
