Terri Petzold

Terri Petzold joined our Kentucky Wesleyan team in August, 2018 and established the first-ever office of counseling services for students on campus. Her primary goal has been to decrease the stigma behind mental health issues while increasing awareness of mental health wellness throughout the campus community. Through clinical services she helps students discover values and skills needed to relieve stressors, promote healthy relationships, and make good decisions. In addition to offering individual, couples, and group sessions, Terri promotes a “campus of care culture” by offering various mental health programs and training opportunities to students, faculty, coaches and staff.
Terri earned her Master of Social Work degree from Western Kentucky University and graduated Summa Cum Laude from WKU with a Bachelor of Social Work. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the Kentucky Board of Social Work and is credentialed as a Temporary Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor through the Kentucky Board of Alcohol and Drug Counselors. She is married, has 2 children and 3 grandchildren. Terri enjoys spending time with her family, reading, horseback riding, and needlework
