Dr. LaTronda Latrice Artis

Dr. LaTronda Latrice is known for her unique ability to integrate psychological insight, professional expertise, and lived experience to help individuals navigate life's challenges. She creates restorative spaces where individuals can confront grief, reclaim their identity, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

Her professional journey was dedicated to her deep commitment to service, particularly to the military and veteran community. Inspired by the emotional and relational impact of combat, Dr. LaTronda earned her master’s degree in counseling psychology and went on to complete doctoral-level training focused on military families and culture and earned a doctorate in Christian Counseling. Her work has supported justice-involved veterans, families in transition, and individuals navigating complex trauma and loss. In recognition of her impact, she received the Service to Veterans Award presented by Texas Governor Greg Abbott and was honored as Philanthropy Woman of the Year by Texas Women in Business.

What sets Dr. LaTronda apart is the authenticity behind her message. Following the end of her 21-year marriage, she experienced firsthand the depth of relational grief, the kind that often goes unseen and unacknowledged. That season became the catalyst for founding Mending Hearts Workshop, LLC and writing her signature work and book, The Grief That No One Talks About: When Relationships End which is published on all major book platforms. Through her voice, she is expanding the conversation around grief, helping others understand that loss is not limited to death, but includes the loss of relationships, identity, and envisioned futures.

In addition to her speaking and coaching clients, Dr. LaTronda serves as an adjunct faculty for the department of psychology, working closely with psychology students and equipping them to serve future clients through a heart-centered, trauma-informed approach to care.

On stage, Dr. LaTronda is known for her powerful storytelling, grounded wisdom, and ability to connect deeply with high-capacity individuals who are used to pouring into others but are now learning to pour back into themselves. She speaks on topics such as relational grief, identity reconstruction, emotional wellness, and overcoming imposter syndrome.

Dr. LaTronda Latrice’s message is both honest and hopeful: healing is not about avoiding grief, it is about learning how to live with it. She doesn’t just speak about healing; she embodies it, showing others how to rise, rebuild, and live again. Helping others understand, grief may change your story, but it does not cancel your purpose.
