Cleonese Dasent-Green

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY, NJ & PA who holds a Graduate Certificate in Thanatology, (Grief Counseling) and Play Therapy, with 15 + years of experience in therapy, and a variety of social work platforms. I received my Master's degree from Fordham University in NYC. Rooted in my Caribbean heritage, I draw on both professional expertise and cultural perspective to guide my practice. I take a warm, creative, and holistic approach, creating a safe and supportive space where clients can heal, grow, and thrive.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions? I provide compassionate, culturally responsive therapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Using evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and play therapy, I help clients develop practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, heal from past experiences, and create lasting emotional well-being. Whether you’re navigating parenting challenges, family conflict, trauma, or depression, my goal is to provide a supportive space where healing and growth can take root. Session language: “Planting seeds” (early therapy) “Weathering storms” (coping skills) “Blooming” (progress and breakthroughs)

Clients can expect practical tools, fresh perspective, and assignment they use outside the therapy space to help manage everyday challenges. My goal is to help you build resilience, clarity, and lasting positive change.
