Q&A with Andrew Rodriguez
Andrew was our first guest as we started webinars in May 2020. His Trends in Therapy webinar is our most viewed webinar and we received so many questions that Andrew had to record a part 2 in his own time. By listening to our members, we are happy to have him again for a complete full Q&A session.
You can ask questions ahead of the session, by putting your questions in the comments below. Questions can also be asked during the Zoom webinar anonymously.
Date: Saturday 19th June 2021
Time: 5pm (BST), 12pm (EDT)
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 behaviour.
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, and Counselling Psychology course from Cairn University in 2016. 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 consults with Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. and counsels at the University of Valley Forge and Hostetter Counselling. Andrew 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 counselling 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.
