Rob Rutkowski

is the founder of

The Mankind Center.

After a 30 year career running my own management consulting company working with international tech clients, I wanted a change. I wasn’t ready to retire any time soon, and I wanted to work with individuals seeking a better sense of self. It wasn’t too much of a stretch to become a pyschotherapist. Even while running my tech company, I worked with men, in groups and as individuals, in 12 step groups, on retreats, and through non profits. So I scooped up a graduate degree in clinical psychology and here we are.

My goal is to help you become a better partner, father, citizen, boss, coach, son, mentor, elder and peer. If it means anything to you, I'm 35 years sober, I've been married (and divorced), I’ve started four companies, bought and sold multiple homes, worked in thirteen countries, and raised two beautiful kiddos, both currently in graduate school. When I’m not working, you’ll find me twisting wrenchs on my small collection of vintage (read: broken) cars, or on a backpacking trip somewhere around the world.

If you've never considered seeing a therapist or a coach, I'm your guy. There aren't a lot of male therapists, and men benefit from working with a male clinician.

Let's get to work. Book a free consultation with me here.
