Haley Whisenhunt

Bio

My name is Haley Whisenhunt, and I am a Certified Social Worker (CSW) in the state of Kentucky. I am from Bath County, but currently reside in Montgomery County with my Fiancé and two stepchildren. I am also a U.S. Army veteran and have experience working in a wide variety of settings over the past six years in the social work field.

I obtained my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Morehead State University in 2017 and subsequently graduated with a master’s degree in clinical social work (MSW) in 2019. I am currently enrolled at the University of Kentucky, where I am a doctoral candidate, pursuing a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree with a specialization in Military Behavioral Health. I am also currently under supervision to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have extensive training in a specialized trauma therapy modality called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my cat and dog, as well as reading, watching TV, and fishing. I am thrilled to be back at MSU, where my passion for mental health first started!
