Über den Autor / die Autorin

Andreya Jones grew up in a conservative, evangelical community in Papua New Guinea and Senegal, West Africa.

After obtaining her master's degree in social work she worked with inner city teens and their families before entering the world of private practice. Andreya has a doctorate in clinical sexology, is a licensed clinical social worker, and is an AASECT certified sex therapist who owns a private practice in Pennsylvania. In the process of deconstructing from Christian evangelicalism and becoming the person she was meant to be she decided to devote her time and energy to helping other women who had similar experiences.
