Welcome to A New Day Psychology
Life doesn't always follow the path we imagined.
You feel that somewhere along the way you got lost.
You're overwhelmed, exhausted, and lonely as you try to carry the weight of it all:
- -The relentless internal demands of OCD and intrusive thoughts.
- -The lingering shadows of PTSD and past trauma.
- -The profound ache of grief, loss, or infertility.
- -The crisis of faith or healing from religious and spiritual trauma.
- -The intense, often misunderstood, strain of pregnancy and postpartum mental health.
You do not have to walk this path alone.
You need an expert who recognizes all of your struggles, understands how they connect, and treats them as a whole.
You are in the right place.
This is a safe and supportive setting where you can be honest about what you're facing. Here, your pain is taken seriously, your story matters, and you'll be met with unwavering compassion, professional expertise, and a clear path forward.
Meet Dr. Pottenger
Hello, I'm Dr. Kylie Pottenger, licensed psychologist and founder of A New Day Psychology. With over 15 years of experience—and more than a decade as a licensed psychologist—I've dedicated my career to walking alongside people in difficult seasons of life.
My training includes:
- • Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
- • Master's in Clinical Mental Health
- • Certification in Perinatal Mental Health (Postpartum Support International)
- • Specialized training in OCD treatment (ERP) and trauma therapy (EMDR)
But beyond credentials, I also bring lived experience. I've walked through infertility, postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, and traumatic birth myself. That journey allows me to meet clients with not only professional expertise but also personal understanding.
My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and empowering—designed to help you heal, grow, and rediscover hope.

Testimonials
"It means so much that Dr. Pottenger took the time and care to hold space for me. I appreciate it more than I can express. I have felt very safe revealing my 'weird' to her and in a world that seems so scary, the safety she offers to her patients is crucial and much needed."– Former Client
"Dr. Pottenger helped me to heal so many wounds and let go of so much baggage. I never felt judged, shamed, or like she wasn't listening to me. She was so kind and understanding every time we talked. I feel so much lighter in my day to day life now, not having the negative self talk and harsh criticism, not wondering if I'm good enough, not feeling like a fraud. Knowing that I do live my values and that I am the person I strive to be has been such an improvement compared to my existence before working with her. I am so blessed that I was directed to her and can't ever truly thank her enough."– Former Client
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths... Beautiful people do not just happen."— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
