Congratulations on taking a step toward your therapeutic journey! Now that you are here, let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I hold a Master of Social Work degree, earned from the University of Southern California (USC). I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from Charter Oak State College, with a concentration in mental health. With over 17 years in mental health I bring with me a lifelong passion for helping people live their best life unapologetically, proud, and free; a phrase now known widely as “living your best life.” I am successful at this, because of my unique skills and training, along with deep respect for creating a natural therapeutic relationship in a safe space to process daily stressors. It is my strong belief that life is a journey and we are all the experts of our own life. At times, life can be difficult and may leave you feeling unbalanced and overwhelmed. I offer a socially conscious eclectic approach, which includes, decolonizing mental healthcare which seeks to find healing, meaning, and connection through culturally-affirming practices. In addition to evidence based practices like: Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strength Based, and Mindfulness, which are tailored to fit the needs of each individual. If you are ready to be more fulfilled and live your life with purpose and enjoyment, I would love the opportunity for us to meet. Please contact me at: s.blatche@raiofsonshinewellness.org to schedule a consultation, so that we can discuss your pursuit of happiness.
