Counseling San Diego - San Diego, California

Ellen Healy

Consulting with Yvette Currie is like having my very own Wendy from Billions. IYKYK. Her coaching sessions are masterfully structured—each conversation builds seamlessly on the last. She listens deeply, remembers every key detail, and helps me uncover connections and realizations I didn’t see by myself. Yvette strikes the perfect balance between being my ultimate hype woman, offering unwavering encouragement, and delivering realistic, tough-love truths that push me to grow.

Her informed, direct, and no-nonsense approach was exactly what I needed in my role of business development leadership. Yvette blends her deep understanding of psychology, communication, motivation, military expertise, and real-world insights to create strategies that are actionable and impactful. I feel truly heard, more confident, and have a clear roadmap to move forward. If I could, I’d bring her into work with me full-time. If you have the opportunity to hire her—don’t hesitate. It’s a game-changing investment.

Yvette Currie, is a sensational therapist and I had seen a couple of therapists before I met with her. She has helped me rewire my old way of thinking. She listened to me and also provided helpful feedback that allowed me to see my situation in a new light. She respected my beliefs and core values which allowed me to open up more to find true healing. She is a genuine, caring therapist. Yvette has much wisdom and knowledge about tools and resources to help me become a resilient person. I am so happy I found her!

Yvette Currie had some fairly good tools for communication, which she started out with, but overlooked the presenting problem that my husband and I came in with. I came in in crisis due to my partner being unfaithful to me. I was experiencing a myriad of emotions-shock, unworthiness, sadness, anger, and even shame- and unpacking each of these feelings with a therapist's was important so that I could begin to move forward towards healing. Instead of allowing a safe space to process this, she assigned us communication homework. For example: It was as if two people are going to the emergency room. One has Covid and the other one is bleeding out, and the doctor decides to deal with the Covid first

Session after session I would ask when we could begin talking about the affair, the trauma and triggers I’m experiencing. Finally at the last session, I couldn’t go forward with the communication homework she assigned before having this crucial conversation about not being able to talk about the presenting problem, which was the affair. She then stated that this is not a place to dump your stuff. She stated I already know about your affair. And even attempted to triangulated with my husband with a little smirk on her face saying to him “is this new information to you?” at this point I’m flooded and feeling unheard as if I did something wrong.

After that last session, and leaving crying and totally dissatisfied (session #5 approx) at how terrible it went, I decided to go on her Psychology Today profile and realize that “I” had made a big mistake by choosing her as our Therapist. I learned that although she does have “couple’s issues” as one of her areas of interest, she does not specialize in affair couples which further validated my thought of her not being equipped to deal with our situation. Although, I’m sure Yvette can be effective with some clients, she was just not the therapist for us. For these reasons, and others not mentioned (office space ect..I cannot recommend Yvette Currie.
