About Rutanya Simon

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Oklahoma. I have provided therapy for a diverse population of clients over the past nine years. I worked within the court system for three years where I was able to aid people in their recovery process while dealing with life changes and any mental health issues. The last five years I have worked with families to provide a better quality of life in spite of mental health or disparaging circumstances. I have experience with depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, self-esteem, addiction and trauma.
I pride myself on being judgement free and providing an atmosphere which is open and safe. My therapeutic approach is conversational, solution-focused and holistic. We will focus on behaviors which are counter productive to desired results and I will aid the you in finding prosocial activities which can promote healthier habits leading to a better life. I will allow you to be the expert of your life while providing support and helping to maintain focus on the goals we determine you would like to meet during the therapeutic relationship.
I look forward to being a part of your journey to becoming your best self!!!

“Our sessions so far have been unbelievably helpful. Rutanya is very professional and excellent at helping us see through foggy areas of our relationship and of ourselves, allowing much better communication and care between us as a couple.”

“I’ve tried therapy on and off lot throughout the years without much success and she is such a refreshing find in a therapist. I’m so grateful to have found her.”

“I have just started working with her and so far it has been extremely helpful!! Look forward to every visit”

“BetterHelp has partnered me with the perfect therapist. The connectivity with Rutanya has been just what I needed out of a therapist. She is kind, inquisitive, and isn’t afraid to push back on my thinking and make suggestions. She makes me feel heard. She gives me the courage to make adjustments that I’ve been wanting to make for a long time.”

“Working with Rutanya has been such a blessing. She’s an amazing therapist who has genuinely helped me improve my relationship with my boyfriend. She provides a calm, neutral perspective that makes both of us feel understood, and she always offers insight that helps us see eye-to-eye. Her professionalism, kindness, and ability to hold space for both sides make every session feel safe and productive. I’m truly grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking to strengthen their relationships or grow individually.”

“I love her, extremely nice and supportive”

“I’m still getting to know her but so far she has been great.”

“She’s amazing as always! I’ve worked with her for 3 years and I’m amazed at how great she continues to get”

“Our relationship is new - but so far she has already shown genuine interest in our sessions and has shared tools with me to work towards my goals. I look forward to seeing the progress I can make with her help.”

“She is very respectful and professional. Great at helping me understand the things I need to work on.”

“She's our second couples therapist and seems way more effective already. Positive and comes up with helpful exercises for relationship building.”

“She truly gives the best advice i definitely recommend her !!”

“Thank you. Considerate, thoughtful, helpful listener.<br /> Caring and knowledgeable”

“She is amazing, listens and gives great advice it feels like we are talking to someone we knew for years”

“We have had many couples therapists and never clicked with one so when we were assigned Rutanya for our online therapist I was not expecting anything different then our past experiences. But, after our first meeting, she changed my mind about therapy in general! She listens, she quickly gets it, and she doesnt overtalk, she just comes in with some extremely important advice with the information she get from you. She makes you feel comfortable and she gently steers the conversation in the right direction....even when its extremely heated. I cant recommend her enough as a therapist, to find a good one is gold and she is gold!”
