Ann-Louise T. Lockhart, PsyD, ABPP

Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart is not your typical parenting expert— she’s a straight-talking, no-drama psychologist, parent coach, and mom who understands what it’s like to be in the trenches with tweens and teens. As a pediatric psychologist with over two decades of experience, she has helped countless families survive the chaos of adolescence with confidence, compassion, and a whole lot of humor. Born and raised in the Caribbean on the island of St. Croix, Dr. Lockhart knows firsthand the power of cultural influences on parenting. She blends her deep expertise with real-life insights, showing parents how to ditch the guilt, cut through the noise, and build unshakable relationships with their teens. Whether she’s coaching overwhelmed parents, speaking on national stages, collaborating with brands, or sharing wisdom on social media, her mission is clear: helping parents truly see and love the teen they have, not the one they expected. Dr. Lockhart is the founder of A New Day Pediatric Psychology in San Antonio, Texas. When she’s not empowering parents, you’ll find her watching superhero movies, trying new hairstyles, traveling with her husband and kids, or perfecting the art of a well-timed mom joke (yes, dads aren’t the only ones who can do this).
