About Ottawa Mindfulness Clinic

The Ottawa Mindfulness Clinic was founded in 2003 by Dr. Lynette Monteiro and Dr. Frank Musten, Psychologists. The Mindfulness-Based Symptom Management (MBSM) program at the OMC is based on the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program taught at the Center for Mindfulness, University of Massachusetts, Worcester MA USA. Our program is informed by the concepts of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy which emphasize the role of thinking patterns in stress and Compassion-Focused Therapy which introduce the need for compassion in our lives. Mindfulness-Based Symptom Management (MBSM) is made up of several courses designed to help people diagnosed with psychological distress, pain-management, and work stress-related illnesses. Along with the 8-week program offered six times each year, we offer practice opportunities through weekly meetings and all-day sessions for all graduates of MBSR programs in Ottawa and its region. Our programs are designed for persons who are: - coping with depression, anxiety, work-related stress - planning a return-to-work after a leave of absence - care-givers to family members who are ill - health care providers experiencing stress - coping with chronic pain or illness - looking for a better way to live a healthy life
