Sande Rutstein
Reviews from the website:
"My two daughters, Grace, age 6, and Claire, age 11, have been fortunate to have Sande as their Occupational Therapist since June 2008. She has worked with them individually and in small groups and has helped them make great progress with their individual sensory, motor, social and emotional skills. I have watched Sande work with many children, each with different needs. She respects each child as an individual and gives them her full attention, respect, and compassion. I have yet to see a child, including my own, who is not deeply bonded to Sande. For my daughters, their 'work' with Sande are moments of pleasure. They never want to miss a week with their favorite 'play' teacher. For me, Sande has become the first and last person I go to for parenting advice. Her insight and guidance have proven priceless. - Caroline Adair Doherty, Cambria."
"Ethan and I look forward to the time we spend with Sande at New Directions for Kids. Sande is exceptional at incorporating so much variety and fun into such a great learning experience! - Amanda Brooks"
"Sande Rutstein, with New Directions for Kids, has made a huge difference in my daughter’s life, and consequently, a huge difference for our whole family. Through one-on-one occupational therapy, as well as group therapy with other children, my daughter has made great gains in her development of motor skills, confidence, self-awareness, sensory integration, and social skills. Sande’s extensive experience is paired with an intuitive understanding of her clients’ needs, and her deep and genuine love for children allows her to provide supportive, compassionate care while offering challenges to help foster growth. The office at New Directions is a safe, enriching environment where children are encouraged to learn and explore. Every week Sande brings out fresh and exciting equipment, and plans new targeted activities. It can be hard work for a child to stretch his or her limits, but Sande makes it so fun that kids are eager to go back again and again. It takes a unique approach to build trust with a child while encouraging them to reach their full potential. Sande truly has that gift! - New Directions Client"
"New Directions has been wonderful for our son. I see improvements on multiple levels - from fine motor writing, grasp, to upper body strength and overall coordination improvement. Sande has great ideas that work! We are very pleased with our son's progress. - Paula, parent"
"May 2015: Sande's work with my son week in and out has resulted in an amazing transformation for him this past year. He was completely shut down when he met Sande and through Sande's nurturing and dedication to children and her occupation, he has developed a beautiful and trusting relationship with her. This has allowed him to explore more, take some risks, and grow in ways I expected that would take years to get to. After a few unpleasant OT experiences, I am so thrilled we came to Sande and have no reservations about our 30 minute commute to her. - Michelle Ludwig"
"My daughter has been working with Sande Rutstein since February 2006, and it has been a wonderful experience for us. Right from the beginning, I could tell that Sande's presence was calm and soothing and that she truly cared for each child. She has been fabulous to work with; not only is she knowledgeable in her field, but Sande is willing to work with all kids and their programs. My daughter is in an intensive ABA program run by Autism Partnership (located in Seal Beach, Ca) and when our supervisor held a mini-training session, Sande willingly participated. Afterwards, our supervisor said she has never met a more open and responsive Occupational Therapist! It has been exciting to see the progress my daughter has made! - Rachel, parent"
How much do Therapists cost?
This will vary according to the level of experience and training that the therapist holds.
This will depend on where you live, what level of training your therapist has and what they specialise in (whether they are a counsellor, psychotherapist or psychologist) and also how many years of working experience they have.
Your professional therapist will be able to advise you on the full range of therapies available and will be able to help you select the best one to suit your needs. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have. Use Bark to get free quotes and find a trusted therapist today.
How do I find the right Therapist?
You need to devote some time to finding the right therapist as the connection you have with your therapist is essential. You need someone who you can trust, someone you feel comfortable talking to about difficult subjects and intimate secrets, someone who will be a partner in your recovery. Therapy will not be effective unless you have this bond, so take some time in the beginning to find the right person.
It is worth talking to a few potential therapists and asking questions. Therapists also have special areas of focus, such as depression or eating disorders. For some issues, such as trauma or PTSD, seeing a specialist is absolutely essential.
How many sessions of Therapy will I need?
Everyone’s treatment is different. How long your therapy lasts depends on many factors.
You may be offered a single session of counselling, a short course of sessions over a few weeks or months or a longer course that lasts for several months or years.
It can take a number of sessions before you start to see progress but you should gradually start to feel better with the help and support of your trusted Bark therapist.
What should I look for in a Therapist?
Professional counsellor training takes three to five years and can be a diploma or degree level. Qualification requires a minimum number of client hours acquired through a work placement.
You may also want to ask for testimonials of their recent work. You could also look at their profile page on Bark and Bark can show you reviews from past customers who have used their therapy.
What are the benefits of Therapy?
Therapy has repeatedly and consistently helped patients with a whole host of issues. It can help with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety or an eating disorder. Or it can help with an upsetting physical health condition such as infertility, a difficult life event such as a bereavement or a relationship breakdown. It can also be used to tackle difficult emotions such as low self-esteem, anger or sexual identity issues. Therapists also offer couples therapy. Therapists can also help with anxiety issues deriving from the coronavirus.
Can I get a Therapist online?
Absolutely! Many therapists offer sessions over the phone or through an online video chat platform, so you can have a session from the comfort of your own home - all you need is a strong internet connection and you're good to go.
