Our Leadership
Dr. Latricia Buckner, PhD, LPC, PCC
Founder and Lead Consultant
Dr. Latricia Buckner is a scholar-practitioner working at the intersection of behavioral health, professional coaching, and organizational development. She holds a PhD in Counseling and Psychological Studies from Regent University, dual licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Texas, and a Professional Certified Coach credential (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation. With over two decades of clinical, coaching, and educational experience, Dr. Buckner has built a body of work that integrates peer-reviewed research with practical, people-centered solutions for organizations across industries and sectors.
Prior to founding Love's Basics LLC, Dr. Buckner served as a Senior Wellbeing Coach with Magellan Health, where she delivered behavioral health coaching across more than 1,500 organizations, including federal agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration, the Air Force, and the Office of Inspector General. That experience gave her a firsthand understanding of the behavioral health challenges facing today's workforce and the structural gaps that traditional wellness programming consistently fails to address. She has since applied that knowledge across government agencies, nonprofit organizations, school districts, universities, and corporate environments, designing and facilitating training programs that translate research into measurable organizational change.
Dr. Buckner founded Love's Basics LLC on the conviction that healthy organizations begin with whole people. She brings the same standard to every engagement: evidence-based, professionally delivered, and designed to produce outcomes that last beyond the training room. Her work is recognized for its scholarly rigor, practical accessibility, and commitment to the populations she serves.
