Jeannie Tomanetz received her Bachelor of Art in Psychology and then completed her Master of Science in Clinical Psychology.  During Jeannie’s Master’s, she interned at various locations including an inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation center and at two mental health facilities as an outpatient therapist.  After graduating in 1996, she began employment at an 11 county Mental Health Agency where she was an outpatient therapist. Jeannie worked with a wide variety of clients with an emphasis on children diagnosed with trauma-based disorders (stemming from physical/sexual abuse or neglect) and domestic violence where she, along with a co-worker, ran a free domestic violence support group for women and their children leaving violent homes.  During this time,  she was also a part time therapist at a local inpatient physical rehabilitation unit.

Jeannie moved to Austin, TX in 1999 and began her employment with the Austin Police Department, Victim Services Unit in February 2000 as a counselor in the Family Violence Unit.  Although she has worked with victims of almost every crime type in almost 22 years with the City, her primary duties involve working with victims of domestic violence with an emphasis on intimate partner violence.  She has been assigned over 20,000 police reports and have spoken to 15,000-20,000 victims of crime.

In addition to providing outreach to victims of domestic violence and other crimes, Jeannie provided several trainings a year in regard to different DV topics such as the general dynamics of DV, effects on victims and children, characteristics of batterers, strangulation, stalking, neurobiology of trauma, lethality, and safety planning.  She has developed and/or provided trainings to Austin Police Officers, APD Cadets, Travis County Sherriff’s Deputies, Park Police, Community Organizations, Churches, Statewide Victim Service Organizations, International Chiefs of Police Association members, Travis County Prosecutors (County and District Attorneys), Medical Professionals for Seton Network of Hospitals, and interns and new employees to Victim Services. Jeannie served as a subject matter expert in the field of DV on the Texas Council on Family Violence 86^th Legislative Public Policy Committee (2018) and was on the committee that developed the Strangulation Supplement, the first of its kind, to be used by Law Enforcement Officers when responding to crimes involving strangulation and for attorneys to use when prosecuting these cases.

Jeannie is also regularly asked to testify as a Domestic Violence Expert for Travis and Williamson County.  She provides expert testimony in DV cases to assist the triers of fact (Judge or Jury) in regard to the different aspects of DV including the dynamics, explaining counterintuitive behaviors or recantation by victims, the psychological aspects of strangulation and/or extreme violence, and common characteristics of batterers.
