Micah Graves-Barnett was raised in western Oklahoma until the age of ten, when her family relocated to eastern New Mexico. She graduated from Eastern New Mexico University in 2001, then returned to Oklahoma to attend graduate school at the University of Oklahoma. In 2003, she received a Master of Social Work.

Micah was initiated into medical social work while still in graduate school. She was hired at a level two trauma emergency room, and she couldn’t have asked for a more informative, exciting, and fun start to her career.

In 2006, she began what turned into a sixteen-year career in hospice. Just two years later, she received an award for Oklahoma Hospice and Palliative Care Award for Social Worker of the Year. She’s truly enjoyed this area of social work, particularly the knowledge she’s gained from working alongside so many incredible nurses, doctors, aides, chaplains, and volunteers in the field.

ADHD counseling for both children and adults is of particular interest to Micah. She was fortunate enough to have owned a private practice dedicated to ADHD treatment, and she enjoyed every minute of it.

Micah and her daughter relocated to Owasso in July 2022, where they enjoy the small community as well as weekend road trips to experience all that Tulsa and the surrounding areas have to offer.
