Nothing else worked.

Then you call Ronnie. He goes in after them.

What Ronnie does

Kids at risk. Adults buried in depression. People who don’t want to be here anymore. Families falling apart. For more than 25 years, they have called Ronnie Kohen when therapy, programs and pleading didn’t reach them. He picks up.

Maybe this sounds familiar

You tried therapy. She stopped going.

You tried rehab. He came home worse.

You tried medication. He flushed the pills.

You tried yelling.
Then you tried silence.

Nobody in the house has slept in weeks.

This is where Ronnie comes in.

This isn’t therapy, it isn’t a program, and it isn’t a prescription. Most people reach Ronnie after all of it has already failed them. That is exactly who he’s for. He sits with people in the worst stretch of their lives, and stays until they can see a way out.

What people call Ronnie about

No call is too heavy.

  • Depression
  • Suicide
  • Addiction
  • Anxiety
  • Trauma
  • Overdose
  • Spiritual disconnection
  • Divorce

From young kids to grandparents. And every parent lying awake in between.

The ones who stopped believing anything could change are on this list too. If what you’re carrying isn’t here, call anyway.

When a situation needs more than a conversation, Ronnie works quietly behind the scenes with the authorities and Rabbanim.

One call is how it starts

Every boy is cared for without conditions, and never judged.

The record

Not new to this. Not going anywhere.

25+

Years of never giving up on a kid.

A clubhouse where boys everyone else had written off kept coming back, night after night. All of them made it. Many are married now, raising kids of their own.

Ronnie’s story · 1:33

His story

25 years. One clubhouse. One rule.

Every boy who walked in was wanted there.

Ronnie Kohen ran that clubhouse for more than 25 years. Boys who had been given up on everywhere else kept coming back. Anything could be discussed. All of them made it. Many are married now, working, raising kids of their own.

Today Ronnie meets people at his offices in Flatbush, Borough Park and Lakewood. He still picks up the phone.
