Anne Whitney Joins
Lincoln Behavioral Health Clinic

Anne Whitney, MA in Counseling Psychology, Ph.D. in English, is beginning a
second career at Lincoln Behavioral Health Clinic after 17 years teaching literature
and writing in the English Department at UNL.  While teaching English was a
career she loved, especially working one on one with writers, Anne had also long maintained a keen interest in psychotherapy.  Of course, making the decision
to change careers meant graduate school again -- a definite challenge after so
many years in the role of teacher -- but by August, 2007, Anne received her
MA in counseling psychology from UNL and now looks forward to many
rewarding years as a psychotherapist.
     Anne is drawn to women's issues as well as to working with individuals
experiencing grief, difficult life transitions, and sexuality concerns.  Existential
and Jungian therapies, which prioritize the exploration of life meaning and purpose,
identity, and spirituality, are relevant to her.  Where there is interest on the part
of a client, she would enjoy using such approaches as writing, art, and/or dream
work to elicit personal imagery and meaning.  Currently, as a PLMHP, Anne is
building a private practice at Lincoln Behavioral Health Clinic and also providing
therapy to clients at Community Mental Health Center and at Voices of Hope,
where she co-facilitates a sexual trauma support group.
