About the Author

Born and raised by a young single mother in one of New York City's roughest neighborhoods, Dr. Akhu knew from a young age that she would grow up to be a helper and a healer. Today, she is a NY State Licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, spirituality, relationships and intimate partner abuse. Board Certified in African-Centered/Black Psychology, Dr. Akhu has served as President of the New York Association of Black Psychologists and as a board member of the Association of Black Psychologists. She provides consultations, and conducts workshops and professional trainings on numerous psychological issues. Dr. Akhu began writing as a way to help herself: she kept a book of inspirational quotes and reflections, important components of her healing from the trauma of a relationship marred by domestic violence and divorce. Today, Dr. Akhu helps people heal and manifest their best lives through her books, which incorporate her personal and professional experiences in psychology and spirituality.
