Nothing else worked.

Then you call Ronnie. He goes in after them.

When to call

Kids at risk. Adults buried in depression. People who don’t want to be here anymore. Families falling apart. For more than 25 years, families have called Ronnie Kohen when therapy, programs and pleading could no longer reach the person they loved.

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
  • Struggles with faith
  • 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.

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. Many of them found their way forward. Today, many are married, working and raising children of their own.

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