Dr. Latricia Buckner, PhD, LPC, PCC is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Professional Certified Coach (ICF), and scholar at the intersection of psychology, theology, and coaching science. For more than two decades, she has helped people and communities navigate questions of identity, faith, and well-being. Her research centers on human flourishing and the barriers that keep emotionally and spiritually serious people stuck, including overfunctioning, borrowed stories (hand-me-down narratives and cultural scripts), unhealed trauma responses, and distorted attachment patterns.

Dr. Latricia developed the Abiding Life Framework, a whole-life model of flourishing across Vitality, Stewardship, Belonging, and Calling.

Through writing, teaching, and speaking, she translates research and biblical wisdom into practical tools that help individuals, leaders, and organizations grow with clarity, wholeness, and purpose.
