Biography:

Brad Hinman is currently an Assistant Professor at Andrews University in the Department of Graduate Psychology and Counseling and is the Coordinator of the School Counseling Program.  As he joins Andrews University this year he brings with him his expertise as a private practice counselor specializing in marriage and family therapy, child and adolescent behavior disorders, domestic violence, and sexuality issues.  Mr. Hinman is currently working on his dissertation at Western Michigan University in Counselor Education and Supervision and is an alumnus of Andrews University.  He holds professional licensure through the State of Michigan as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Limited License Marriage and Family Therapist.  He is a teacher at heart, though, and has taught every educational level from first grade through master’s level.  His research interests include family dynamics, communication, and behavior disorders within families; the intersection of sexuality and Christianity, including sexual orientation, pornography, sex addiction, and hypoactive sexual desire; and the supervision of minority supervisees by majority supervisors. Mr. Hinman counts it as one of his greatest personal and professional accomplishments to have been married for over 24 years to “The Key Lady” at Andrews University and to have raised two sons who are now both undergraduate students in Adventist education.
