Dr. Clifford Green, LCSW

Dr. Clifford Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Honolulu, Hawaii, who also holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and advanced degrees in social work with a focus on behavioral mental health. He draws on both social work and clinical psychology training to offer integrative, individualized care that is tailored to each person's specific needs and life context.

Over eight years of practice as a social worker and psychotherapist have given him deep experience with forensically encumbered individuals and with treating trauma, including histories of sexual trauma. He has developed clinical specializations in serious mental illnesses such as bipolar and depressive disorders, anxiety and panic disorders, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, and in managing suicidal ideation and self-harm behaviors. His work also includes treatment for substance use disorders, anger management, and personality disorders, with focused experience in antisocial, histrionic, and borderline presentations.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, he brings informed, culturally relevant care for issues related to sexual and romantic orientation, gender identity, queer and genderqueer identity, asexuality, intersex questions, and internalized homo- or transphobia. He is experienced in couples work and a wide range of intimacy and sexual concerns, including infidelity, non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, BDSM and kink, sexual desire differences, problematic sexual behaviors, and various sexual dysfunctions. He emphasizes a collaborative therapeutic relationship that uses empathy, skills-building, and insight to strengthen resilience, reinforce coping strategies, and support lasting, positive change. He welcomes the opportunity to work with clients as they pursue healing and self-discovery.
