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, and I wanted to work with individuals seeking a better sense of self. It wasn’t 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 completed a masters 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 38 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 with graduate degrees. When I’m not working, you’ll find me twisting wrenches on my small collection of vintage (and often 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 many male therapists; men benefit from working with a male clinician.

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