My name is Rachel Deaton and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Tulsa, Oklahoma and the founder of Positive Aging Counseling & Consulting, LLC.
I truly believe that you who are reading this are doing the best you can with what you have, so be kind to yourself. Knowing about all of the aging services in the community isn’t part of most people’s toolbox. It’s one of those things that we typically don’t explore until we need it. That’s why I’m here to help!
I’m a Tulsa native and graduated from Bishop Kelley High School before completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Denver. I moved back to Oklahoma to be nearer my family and earned my Master of Social Work degree from OU-Tulsa in 2012.
Since then, I have gained experience partnering with the Alzheimer's Association and the YMCA while I directed a Small Communities Transformation grant at INCOG Area Agency on Aging. I was the first social worker for LIFE Senior Service's PACE program and have more recently worked at Family & Children's Services as a therapist. I have worked with family caregivers, led support groups, provided education, linked individuals and families with resources in the community, made referrals, and provided individual, group, and family counseling.
Thank you for stopping by my website. If what you’ve read/heard in the community makes you think I would be a good fit to assist you, I would be honored to accompany you on your journey.
Rachel Deaton, LCSW
