Keynote Speakers for HOPE 2025
Andrew Rodriguez
My passion is to help people discover and live out their true identities. As a Christian therapist, I understand counseling as a vital part of discipleship and growth.
I obtained my BS in Psychology from Valley Forge Christian College (now University of Valley Forge) and my MS in Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College (I also completed coursework at Lancaster Bible College and Cairn University). My clinical training is in psychodynamic approaches, SAFE-T (Sexual Attraction Fluidity Exploration in Therapy), EMDR and other trauma reprocessing strategies, and some mindfulness and CBT approaches.
I am certified in Reintegrative Therapy, an approach for trauma and addictions found helpful in exploring change in sexual feelings. For clients seeking a faith-based approach, I incorporate overtly Christian practices, such as prayer and biblical insight. I primarily do individual therapy, but will include other loved ones as necessary.
While I see clients with a variety of issues, I also specialize in trauma and sexual struggles, such as unwanted sexual behaviors and attractions. I am a board member of The Alliance for Therapeutic Choice & Scientific Integrity, a board member of Voice of the Voiceless, a group that advocates for the rights of ex-LGBT; and an affiliate counselor with Restored Hope Network. I also do speaking and equipping of churches to understand and address matters around sexuality, such as with ReStory Ministries. For more on my work in these areas, you can visit my YouTube channel, PsychoBible.
I am also the campus counselor at University of Valley Forge, and I have years of experience in children and youth ministry.

Connecting to HOPE 2025
Several days prior to the conference, you will automatically be entered as a registrant onto the conference software program. You will receive notification in your email with the link to join the program--3 days prior to the event, 1 day prior, and the day of the event. Please follow the instructions in the email to join.
A few basics: it is preferrable to join with a computer (laptop or desktop). If you use a tablet or phone, these work also and you will need to turn your device horizontal to have the most functionality.
Please use Google Chrome as your browser (not Safari, Bing or other...) because the software functions best on Google Chrome. You can download the browser in the Apple store or Google Play onto a phone, if that is what you will be using to access HOPE 2025.
On the first morning, Anne will share how to navigate the event software. The RHN staff will be busy working behind the scenes answering individual questions and managing the event. If you have questions prior to the live event, please reach out to us before June 20. Info@RestoredHopeNetwork.org
