His private practice, Healing and Liberation Counseling, interweaves his skills as a Consultant, Babalawo and Clinical Social Worker.
Since 1993, Enroue has been a practitioner within the Yoruba Orisa spiritual tradition. He was initiated as a devotee of Ifá in Oyo, Nigeria in 2000. In addition to his training and practice as a Babalawo, a priest of Ifa, he has had a meditation practice for over 25 years and integrates these practices, strategies and perspectives with his clients.

He has worked in a community mental health clinic, been an adjunct professor, presented at conferences, sat on panels, and been a Marta Sotomayor Fellow at the Smith College School for Social Work. In this role, he addressed ways that institutional oppression impacted the students, staff, faulty, advisors and administrators at the school through individual and systemic interventions.
Enroue’s parents were organizers and activists and taught him the importance of liberation movements and community in addressing various forms of systemic oppression. These skills and analysis are integrated all components of his practice. As a consultant he has focused his attention on addressing internal and interpersonal conflicts and dynamics within organizations even as they are created by systemic pressures. He trusts that by clarifying these issues, people will create the new systems and practices that are most effective and relevant for their needs.
