The Ottawa Mindfulness Clinic was founded in 2003 by psychologists Dr. Lynette Monteiro and Dr. Frank Musten. For 20 years, the OMC provided several Mindfulness Programs designed to help people diagnosed with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and various stress-related illnesses. Along with the 8-week program offered six times yearly, the OMC offered practice opportunities for its graduates in monthly meetings and all-day sessions three times a year. It was also a clinical training site for students registered in the Clinical Psychology Program at the University of Ottawa.
The Mindfulness-based Symptom Management Program belongs to a class of Second-Generation Mindfulness Interventions that focus on the development of mindfulness practices in the context of clarifying values that promote health and well-being. Drs. Monteiro & Musten are published authors of books on mindfulness, ethics in and of mindfulness programs, as well as research articles in peer-reviewed journals.
The programs provided Continuing Education Credits for Pychologists, Psychotherapists and Social Workers
We are proud to have been a teaching clinic for masters and doctoral candidates in psychology, social work, and counselling psychology.
