Schuster Counseling Group is now open in Tulsa at our Midtown office on E. 53rd Street. Ruth Chapman, MSW, LCSW provides individual and family therapy for people who are ready to stop managing their problems and start working through them.
Tulsa asks a lot of the people who live here. Whether you're raising a family in Jenks or Bixby, working long hours in South Tulsa, navigating a major transition in Broken Arrow or Owasso, or just trying to keep your head above water in Midtown, there's a point where pushing through stops being a strategy. Therapy is what comes next.

Who We Work With in Tulsa
Our Tulsa clients show up carrying a wide range of experiences. Some have done therapy before. Some are coming in for the first time. Here's who tends to do well working with Ruth:
Adults dealing with anxiety and emotional overwhelm. Functioning on the outside, exhausted on the inside. The irritability, the guilt that follows, the constant mental noise that sleep doesn't fix. Therapy helps you understand where that comes from and what to do differently.
Trauma survivors. Past experiences don't stay in the past just because you want them to. Whether the trauma is recent or something you've been carrying for years, it shows up in your relationships, your body, and how you see yourself. Ruth is trained in trauma-focused approaches that go beyond coping strategies and address what's actually driving the pattern.
Families in conflict or transition. Family therapy is not about picking sides. It's about helping people communicate instead of collide, and function as a unit instead of a group of people who are frustrated with each other. Whether you're in crisis or trying to get ahead of something, this work can shift the dynamic.
Parents who want to parent differently. Growing up in a home with chaos, emotional unavailability, or high pressure leaves a mark. Those patterns tend to follow people into their own parenting. This work isn't about guilt. It's about doing something different for your kids.
Immigrants and families navigating the U.S. legal process. Ruth provides immigration psychological evaluations, including hardship, VAWA, U-Visa, and asylum-related assessments, for individuals who need clinical documentation as part of their case.
Teens and young adults. Life transitions, identity questions, college stress, emotional dysregulation. Ruth works with teens and emerging adults who need a therapist who takes them seriously.

Our Approach
Ruth uses approaches with clinical evidence behind them: DBT, ACT, TF-CBT, Written Exposure Therapy, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy. Sessions are structured and personalized. Most clients leave with something concrete to work on between appointments. The work moves.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Ruth is one of the few bilingual LCSWs in the Tulsa area providing therapy in both languages.
DBT Intensives in Tulsa
For clients who need focused, efficient skill-building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness, Ruth offers DBT intensives. This condensed format covers more ground in less time than traditional weekly sessions, and it's a good option for people who have tried talk therapy before and want something with more traction.
How Do DBT Intensives Work?
Our DBT Intensive process is designed to be thorough yet streamlined, ensuring you feel prepared and supported from start to finish. Here's what you can expect:
Free Consultation
During the consultation, we'll take the time to discuss whether an DBT Iintensive could be a beneficial healing approach for you. We'll go over the process in detail, set clear expectations, address any questions you may have, and evaluate if both the DBT Intensive format and our therapeutic approach align with your needs. This is also your opportunity to get a sense of whether you feel comfortable working with us—because fit matters.
90-Minute Pre-Intensive Session
The intensive kicks off with a 90-minute session where we come together to establish the foundation for your experience. During this time, we'll explore your personal history, discuss your goals for the intensive, and outline what you can anticipate throughout the process. This preparation ensures we hit the ground running when the intensive sessions begin.
Customized Client Workbook
You'll be provided with a personalized Client Workbook designed to help you prepare for the therapy intensive. This allows us to dive deeper and make quicker progress because your therapeutic journey begins even before our first session together. The workbook helps you reflect on key experiences and clarify what you want to address, setting the stage for focused, meaningful work.
Intensive Sessions
Each intensive session lasts for 3 hours, giving us the opportunity to thoroughly explore and address the core of the issue. We'll take breaks as needed and ensure the pace feels right for you. Throughout the process, you remain in full control, guiding the direction of your healing journey. Depending on your needs and goals, intensives can be structured as one, two, or three days of focused work.
90-Minute Post-Intensive Session
The intensive ends with a 90-minute debrief session where we'll review the key moments of your experience and discuss the next steps in your healing journey. This final session provides an opportunity to reflect on what you've accomplished, integrate your insights, and plan for continued growth. We want to make sure you leave feeling grounded and equipped to move forward.

Meet Your Tulsa Therapist
Ruth Chapman, MSW, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker | OK License #21924
English and Spanish Therapy
Ruth works with people who are tired of pretending they're fine.
Her clients are mostly parents, teens, young adults, and families who are somewhere between holding it together and starting to crack. They're dealing with anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, family tension, or life transitions that have stalled out. And they need a therapist who is going to do more than listen.
Ruth helps clients slow down the chaos, figure out what's actually driving their patterns, and build skills they can use in their real lives. Not a script. Not generic worksheets. People frequently say they leave sessions with something they didn't walk in with, a shift in perspective, a concrete tool, a clearer picture of a dynamic that has been running the show without their permission.
She brings training in DBT, ACT, TF-CBT, Written Exposure Therapy, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy to her clinical work. She brings genuine curiosity and directness to the room itself. Therapy with Ruth is not a space where you have to perform progress. You just have to show up.
Ruth is one of the few bilingual LCSWs in the Tulsa area offering sessions in both English and Spanish. She also provides immigration psychological evaluations for individuals and families navigating the U.S. immigration process.
