Deanna Dellia is a clinical psychotherapist in Nashville, TN. She specializes in childhood trauma and sexual trauma. She hosts a podcast called Hot Girl Psychology, and she records music with her husband under the name The Luttrells.

When she’s not writing, working, singing, or podcasting, you can catch her being a fairy in her garden or playing with tarot cards in her witch library. She loves to paint, cook, read, sip red wine, have deep conversations, and chase sunsets.

She has two published books, Confessions of a Sugar Baby and Black Roses, both of which have taken BookTok by storm. Her next book, Dark Empath releases Spring, 2027. She created trauma-informed dark romance to bridge the gap between smut and mental health. Instead of glorifying trauma, she transforms it. She writes through the lens of a trauma therapist and a trauma survivor with the intention to help others feel seen, heard, and understood. She hopes that her books are titillating as much as they are healing.
