Dr. Poysky completed his undergraduate degree in Psychology at Seattle Pacific University. Seeking to increase his knowledge and expand his ability to help others, he attended the Graduate School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary – the first private school to earn accreditation by the American Psychological Association. During his time there he earned a Masters degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Christian Leadership, and completed clinical training rotations at the University of Southern California, UCLA, and a variety of other locations. Upon completion of his pre-doctoral internship at London Health Sciences Centre, he graduated from Fuller in 2002 with a PhD in Clinical Psychology.

Dr. Poysky moved to Houston to complete a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at Texas Children’s Hospital. Upon completion of this specialized training in 2004, he accepted a position at Texas Children’s Hospital as a clinical neuropsychologist, and joined faculty at Baylor College of Medicine as an Assistant Professor of Child Psychology.

Dr. Poysky opened his private practice, Katy Child Psychology Associates, in 2008 in order to offer the same quality care to patients in Katy and surrounding areas. In his clinical work, Dr. Poysky strives to obtain a broad perspective of each child’s strengths and weaknesses, rather than focusing solely on “problem areas”. He believes that parents are a vitally important part of the clinical and decision-making team, and that they are the ultimate experts on their child. Although correct diagnosis is important, he works to ensure that parents also have an understanding of what is causing their child’s difficulties, and the implications that this has for intervention.

Dr. Poysky lives with his family in Katy and has two children one of which has special needs. Having a child with special needs gives Dr. Poysky an even greater understanding of the unique challenges of special needs families as well as the issues and struggles that all parents face. He has a passion to work with parents as a team to help children reach their best potential.

Dr. Poysky also has a strong commitment to the community, and regularly participates in educational forums and presentations to parent groups on a volunteer basis at the local, national, and international level. He is internationally recognized as an expert on muscular dystrophy, and is chair of a muscular dystrophy expert panel coordinated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the CDC).

As a licensed professional counselor, I specialize in short-term results using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), combined with other modalities. In counseling individuals, couples, groups, children, adolescents, and families, I find that self-defeating attitudes, feelings, and behaviors can be dramatically changed with the use of REBT’s action-oriented, solution-oriented, cognitive-behavioral approach.

As an educator for 25 years, I taught English, Creative Writing, and career-based classes to gifted, average, and at-risk students. Career counseling has been a passion since 1977 when I began teaching at a New Orleans career-based magnet high school. After returning to Houston, I worked as a placement counselor for an employment agency. Returning to teaching, my interest in careers continued, spurring me to pursue a counseling degree.

In private practice as a career counselor and therapist since 1995, I had expected to concentrate chiefly on career counseling; however, clients’ personal issues induced me to take advanced training to enhance my counseling repertoire.

One facet of my practice is meeting the special needs of the gifted and talented. Currently, I conduct a monthly support group for parents, which focuses on how best to meet the challenges of developing a gifted child. Having taught GT classes for nine years, I have individually counseled many GT adolescents and adults.

As a coordinator for SMART Recovery® (Self-Management and Recovery Training), I facilitate meetings to train individuals to overcome self-defeating and/or addictive behaviors, such as substance abuse, anger management, poor relationships, depression, anxiety, low frustration tolerance, and other all too human problems. Based on this model, I set up a program for teens called STAR (Stop Teen Addictions Rationally). Teen Forum is a group for average teens with problems they want to resolve.

Always active, I enjoy traveling, photography, yoga, creative writing, film and drama, music, and dancing, continuing education classes, bridge, walking, hiking, canoeing, rafting, grandparenting, and anything fun or interesting. My greatest treasures are my daughter and son, their spouses, and five grandchildren.

When I opened in 1999 one of my main goals was to provide a Referral Program. This would be my way of giving back to the community. My clients love it and I am proud to say at least 95% of my business is now from referrals. Referrals are unlimited. This January I have received several referrals from a psychologist Dr Poysky, my husband a lawyer Stu Levin and one of my students Megan Redfield, Dr Tucker also sent me a referral from a friend of her.
