About

Renata Aidar-Currier maintains California LCSW license 26063 on Chula Vista's Third Avenue, drawing on a clinical social work degree completed at SUNY Stony Brook in 2004. Her scope covers psychoanalytic work alongside clinical social work interventions for phobias, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue — conditions that sometimes escalate into emergencies requiring coordination with the inpatient psychiatric unit at Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista. Fluency in Portuguese expands access for Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking communities across Chula Vista and the greater South Bay, addressing a language gap in the region's mental health provider network. Her dual designation as both clinical social worker and psychoanalyst allows her to integrate depth-oriented psychodynamic exploration with the practical, systems-based case management that social work training emphasizes. That integrated approach coordinates naturally with the multilingual primary care providers at San Ysidro Health Chula Vista, where shared patient populations benefit from bidirectional referral pathways between behavioral health and medical care. Psychoanalytic sessions employ free-association and transference analysis techniques rooted in object-relations theory, structured across extended treatment durations that address characterological patterns rather than symptom-level presentation alone.
