Genery Booster, PhD
Licensed Pediatric Psychologist
Welcome!
I am a pediatric psychologist with over 20 years of experience in integrated behavioral health. I use evidence-based interventions to empower and support children, adolescents, and families. I believe all behavior is communication and am passionate about helping children and families nurture their own individual strengths to develop confidence, resilience, and joy in their lives.
As a psychologist, I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space for all individuals and deeply value the rich diversity of human experiences. It is my belief that inclusivity and respect for people with different identities, cultural heritage, and lived experiences is essential, and I strive to support and celebrate each person’s authentic self. Your identity and experiences are important!
After 11 years in a hospital setting as an Associate Professor of Pediatrics, I am excited to offer flexible and innovative services to my patients through my virtual private practice.

Every child deserves a safe space to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I approach therapy from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and use evidence-based interventions to build upon each child’s unique strengths and developmental needs. I have specific training and expertise in:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Organizational Skills Training (OST)
Caregiving Support
Caring for a child is both a rewarding and challenging experience, and I firmly believe we all benefit from guidance and encouragement across our child’s development. Using a strengths and systems-based approach, I provide support, guidance, and evidence-based strategies to help families connect and thrive. I have specific training and expertise in:
Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
Parent Management Training (PMT)
Family School Success (FSS)
Homework Success
School Consultation
Navigating your child’s educational journey can be stressful, especially when behavioral, social, or emotional challenges arise. Using the conjoint behavioral consultation model, I work closely with caregivers to partner with teachers and schools to ensure each child has access to appropriate classroom accommodations. With a background in school psychology, I offer practical strategies related to:
504 plan development and review
IEP development and review
