Psychology Through a Neurodiversity-affirming Lens

I’m Dr. Anwuri Osademe, PsyD (“Dr. O”), a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Sticky Brain Studio™. My work focuses primarily on children, teens, and young adults, helping them understand how their brains work and build skills that support real life at school, at home, and in everyday relationships. I also work with parents, caregivers, and adults who want deeper insight into attention, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and neurodivergence.

​

My approach is grounded in developmental psychology, neuroscience, and pediatric health psychology. Rather than asking “What is wrong?” I focus on what a brain is trying to communicate. ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, executive functioning differences, giftedness, asynchronous development, and autism all tell a story about how a brain processes the world. My work helps families and individuals understand that story so they can move forward with clarity and practical tools.

​

Before founding Sticky Brain Studio, I trained and worked across inpatient psychiatry, intensive treatment programs, outpatient behavioral health clinics, pediatric primary care, ADHD specialty clinics, and multidisciplinary health and developmental teams. These experiences shaped how I practice today: collaborative, practical, and focused on helping people build skills that actually work in real life.

​

Families often describe my style as clear, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe people do best when they understand their brains, feel supported rather than pathologized, and have tools that fit their lives. In addition to clinical services, I provide consultations, trainings, and workshops for schools, healthcare teams, and organizations across the U.S. focused on neurodiversity-affirming care and practical strategies for supporting attention, regulation, and learning.
