"I am so blessed to have participated in the first course for certification as a Sexual Orientation Coach with the Positive Approaches To Healthy Sexuality. I feel it has thoroughly prepared me to deal with clients in this sensitive area. Comprehensive in scope, sensitive in approach, and detailed in methodology, this course will untangle the nuances of counseling the struggler with unwanted SSA. As more therapists become familiar with this course, many SSA strugglers who have been disappointed with traditional therapeutic approaches will obtain the help they need to progress in the difficult journey towards personal wholeness and heterosexuality."

Keith Vennum, M.D., LMHC, Former President of The Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity

"Richard Cohen, with his keen sensitivity and ability to empower and transform lives, is just phenomenal. Being a part of the training, responding to, and helping persons with Same-Sex Attraction has revolutionized and empowered my ministry. The content of this training was consistent with the Word, a courageous Work, and challenged my Will."

"No one today has more practical, real-life experience helping individuals process and explore unwanted SSA than Richard Cohen. I have applied techniques and ideas that I've learned from Richard with great success as I've worked with life-coaching clients and groups over the years. His instruction and mentoring have been invaluable."
