What my clients say…

After just one session with Roen, I gained momentum to view my moods and thoughts as more self-empowering choices than remaining stuck and entrenched. After two more sessions, Roen has helped me and my family attain clear steps and actions to address the challenges we experience. Roen expresses a warm and safe environment that offers validation and reassurance to make attainable changes. I have gained more self-respect and self-worth in just a short time than I have in years of prolonged therapy.

There’s talk therapy—and then there is working through shit with Roen. I met Roen in a men’s group and contacted him randomly for help in a family crisis. He responded a few hours later, and I felt much better that afternoon in one session. He checked in on me by text and encouraged me to hang in there no matter what. I was able to openly communicate with my wife and two sons about my illness and move forward.

Roen is one of a kind.

When I switched careers, Roen knew precisely how to walk me through it, so I stayed on my feet and out of trouble. If he has an opening—go for one session and see for yourself. Life changing. I’d say he’s more like a spiritual teacher than a therapist—but he wouldn’t like it. Warm-hearted, funny, and open, Roen is a life-saver.

Juho, Tokyo, Japan.

I was honestly reluctant to go therapy with a man whose site says “for men,” but Roen opened his book to me and said, “Sure thing, let’s give it a try.” I had a lot of frustrations with my ex-husband at the time and his perspective on the challenges men face today helped me as a woman to a greater understanding of my ex-husband and son, whom I love more now without judging.

We men seem to think we can "man up" and everything will work out. I know I felt that way. I met Roen at a men's meeting he was helping facilitate, so I called him up.

Roen offered to take a few sessions, helping guide me to my "fork-in-the-road" decision. My only regret is that I didn't know him earlier--like twenty years ago when I decided to change careers and get married.

Regardless, it was great to have Roen stand with me in confronting significant issues (and simpler ones, too). He doesn't preach; instead, he helps you arrive at the place you feared and desired. Then, he enables you to cross the lacuna. As a coach, guide, and wild man guru, Roen is an asset more men should utilize. AND DON'T WAIT.

I have worked with many therapists, coaches, and healing practitioners over the years, but none have had the impact that Roen has. His ability to see patterns, challenge self-defeating behaviors, and provide direct, no-nonsense guidance is unparalleled

Before working with Roen, I spent six years exploring nearly every healing modality available—EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, meditation, men’s groups, energy work, psychedelics, retreats, brain scans, books, and multiple therapists. While each offered something, none brought the lasting, transformative change I was searching for.

That confidence was well-founded.

Roen is an exceptional practitioner—knowledgeable, deeply experienced, and relentlessly committed to his clients. H has an uncanny ability to cut through the noise and get to the root of an issue, offering sharp and compassionate insights. His honesty is refreshing, his presence unwavering, and his ability to guide meaningful change is unlike anything I have encountered before.

Roen will get you there if you are ready to do the work. His approach is not for those looking for surface-level reassurance—it is for those who want fundamental transformation. The results I’ve experienced are lasting, and I credit his skill, knowledge, and dedication entirely.

I give my highest recommendation to anyone considering working with Roen.

I was stuck. There’s no other way to put it. I was not crazy about my career, even less about my life. I saw Roen’s writing on LinkedIn and thought, this guy is either nuts or onto something. He is definitely onto something—and I think it can be summed up as this. Be yourself, trust yourself and your experience—and no matter what, do not give up or become a victim to society. By the way, he is also one of the funniest people I have ever met, and his sense of humor makes the tough stuff more manageable.

Many therapists seem clueless about how to talk to men today. Most, in my experience, rely on outdated, ineffective modes and focus solely on what is negative about masculinity and men. I’ve also noticed that therapists tend to be half-involved and not relatable-never committing to a path of healing with the client. On my first visit, Roen told me that lasting change cannot be done quickly and that without a clear path, I might as well wander around blindfolded, hoping for change instead of making change happen. He also said I could choose otherwise if I weren’t down for that. Blunt.

Roen embodies boldness and innovation, doing what works despite the norm. He is the first relatable and down-to-earth therapist I’ve encountered who understands the importance of real change and is willing to implement practices that deliver genuine results. Roen’s ability to treat his clients kindly and effectively is one of the main reasons I hold him in the highest regard. He prioritizes impactful, meaningful change over adhering to outdated conventions. His clear vision and dedication make him an exceptional professional, and I recommend him without hesitation.

As a man, society tells us to “suck it up,” and “deal with it,” to be a rock. We are expected to be stoic and, at the same time, to tone down our masculinity— because evidently, it’s not ok to be a man anymore. Well, you can only suck it up for so long, before damage is done. I was cruising through life, getting along with the world, and then one day—wham—real challenges that exposed my vulnerabilities appeared. I struggled with guilt and shame to a crippling degree from decisions I made and found myself at the bottom—so I decided to seek some help.

Working with Roen allowed the space to learn a whole new skill set. I’m learning to deal with emotional challenges and embrace who I am fully. I have been taking these skills into my work life and my life at home. I feel at peace and in harmony. My headspace is quiet and intentional instead of chaotic and stressful. I wish I had learned this much about myself and what to do long ago.

L Roen(Prowe) is extraordinarily gifted, both personally and professionally. He far exceeds all character and intellectual benchmarks. Louis has the gravitas required to gain the respect of students, peers & mentors alike and continually develops and nurtures trust, loyalty, and commitment. He is a warm-hearted mentor who coaches and collaborates with others to achieve those goals. He sets the example of character, behavior, and performance to follow. He has demonstrated his ability to achieve synergy across various academic interests. He possesses a genuinely superior and polished character, a developed and intuitive analytic orientation, and is sensitive to the entirety of humanity and its multitude of perspectives. These traits culminate in his keen ability to see "the straight line." I will attest to how astute, affable, and quick Roen is. He has traveled and written extensively about the “human environment” in North Africa, the Middle East, the United Kingdom, China, and Russia. His understanding and appreciation of cultural nuance and behavior character make him distinctively "mensch—and a great therapist.
