Meet the founder
Sharelle Blatche, LCSW
Life can appear manageable from the outside while feeling completely different on the inside. Anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, family stress, or a major life transition can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected, and unsure of your next step. You do not have to sort through it alone.
I’m Sharelle Blatche, a Connecticut Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder and Clinical Director of Rai of SonShine Wellness. With more than 20 years of experience, I work with adults and adolescents who are ready to better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change.
My approach is warm, honest, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Gestalt techniques, and supportive therapy because healing is never one size fits all. Our work will focus on understanding what is keeping you stuck, developing practical tools, and helping you build a life that feels more authentic, steady, and fully yours.
Beyond the therapy room, I am an adjunct professor at Southern Connecticut State University and a certified equine assisted psychotherapist. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something different, therapy can be a place to pause, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
Meet Kaitlynn
Kaitlynn Mascia , LMSW
Kaitlynn is a Licensed Master Social Worker who provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. She also has experience supporting women and survivors of violence.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, and other therapeutic techniques, Kaitlynn helps clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building healthy coping skills, confidence, and self awareness. Her approach is collaborative, empathetic, and tailored to each client’s individual needs and goals.
Kaitlynn understands that reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially when you are used to managing things on your own. She works to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable opening up at their own pace. Her goal is to help clients feel more confident, supported, and empowered as they work through challenges and create meaningful change. If you are ready to feel less overwhelmed and have someone walk alongside you, Kaitlynn is ready to support you.

Anijha Blatche, EMT Clinical Coordinator
As the Clinical Coordinator, I help keep the day to day operations of Rai of SonShine Wellness organized, responsive, and running smoothly. My responsibilities include coordinating new referrals and consultation requests, supporting client intake and scheduling, assisting with client communication and follow up, coordinating clinician and intern onboarding, and helping maintain practice documentation and compliance processes.
I also support the administrative needs of our clinical team, including scheduling coordination, practice systems, internal communication, and ensuring important tasks are followed through from start to finish. A large part of my role is making sure clients receive clear communication and timely support as they move through the intake and scheduling process.
Behind the scenes, I help create the structure that allows our therapists to focus on providing quality care. Whether I am helping a new client get connected with the right clinician, supporting a new team member as they get started, or keeping practice operations organized, my goal is to make the experience as smooth and welcoming as possible for both our clients and our team.
