Dr. Adwoa Akhu - Psychologist, Trainer, Author
Dr. Adwoa Akhu helps people stay well while doing hard things. A licensed clinical psychologist with nearly three decades of experience, she specializes in burnout prevention, stress management, and resilience—especially for those working in high-stakes, emotionally demanding environments. Her work is rooted in African-centered psychology and integrates spiritual grounding, practical tools, and body-based wisdom.
She has trained everyone from NYPD hostage negotiators to hospital executives, offering what she calls “Playshops”—experiential workshops designed to move people from insight into action. Her warm, direct style helps teams and individuals access deep transformation without losing their edge.
Dr. Akhu is the author of seven self-help books, including Cultivating Inner Peace and Creating Healing Space. She is passionate about bridging science, culture, and Spirit to make wellness both accessible and sustainable.
When she’s not leading workshops or writing, Dr. Akhu is often immersed in studying the effects of stress on the body, walking in nature, or using her own tools to stay grounded. You might also find her deep in conversation about all things spiritual—exploring what it really means to live in alignment without burning out.
