Hi, I’m Jonathan.

A licensed clinical social worker who has been in practice for 7 years, Jonathan earned his MSW degree from the University of Pennsylvania and completed postgraduate training in cognitive-behavioral, gestalt, and psychodynamic psychotherapies at Bryn Mawr College and the Gestalt Training Institute of Philadelphia.

In addition to being a practicing clinician, Jonathan is a current PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice. His research interests include critical analysis of clinical practice, particularly the ways clinicians and psychotherapists situate themselves within the discourse and history of social work.
