Q and A session (after the webinar)

We are very pleased to have Andrew Rodriguez, MS kick-start our webinar series.

Andrew Rodriguez is a Christian psychotherapist, speaker, and advocate for therapy equality from Pennsylvania.  He sees clients dealing with a wide range of issues but also has a special interest in sexual struggles, such as trauma, addiction, identity, and unwanted same-sex sexual attraction and behavior.  He began working in the area of sexuality when he interned at Day Seven Ministries (a former Exodus International member ministry) in 2006.  He subsequently founded a support and recovery group for men at his college campus, which he ran for eight years.  Andrew earned his BS in Psychology from Valley Forge Christian College (now University of Valley Forge) in 2007 and his MS in Counseling Psychology and Human Services from Chestnut Hill College in 2015.  At Chestnut Hill, he faced discrimination for his work with men leaving homosexuality.  He is the 2015 recipient of the Joseph Nicolosi Early Career Scholarship Award from the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity.  He currently counsels at four different practices, and he is on the Advisory Board for Voice of the Voiceless, a Christian advocacy group for the protection of clients with unwanted same-sex eroticization to obtain counseling that fits their goals and values.  Andrew also runs a YouTube channel called PsychoBible, in which he discusses psychology, sexuality, and culture from a Christian perspective.  He has been passionately married to his wife, Jessica, since 2007.
