Rehabilitation Team: Psychology Staff 

How we help 

Psychology services at TOHRC are available to both inpatients and outpatients. Our team provides assessment, individual and group therapy, and consultation to support you. We focus on your functional needs. Our services include: 

• Collaborative goal setting  –Working with you and your care team to understand your rehabilitation goals and how best to achieve them.
• Psychological assessment – Helping you understand how your disability may affect your thinking, emotions and behavior, and identifying strengths and challenges that could impact your progress.
• Therapy and intervention – Supporting your adjustment to illness or injury, and helping you manage common reactions like anxiety, depression and pain as well as cognitive changes (such as memory, attention or reasoning difficulties).
• Education and support – Offering information and strategies through individual or group treatment to help you and your family adapt. 

Our psychologists also consult with your rehabilitation team to help guide your care and support the best possible outcome. 

Teaching and training 

Psychology provides training placements to University of Ottawa Clinical Psychology students as well as students from other accredited Clinical Psychology programs.  

The Ottawa Hospital’s Psychology department has nationally accredited psychology residency programs and psychology residents are actively involved in providing clinical care at TOHRC.  

As part of an academic health-care centre, the department fosters and maintains close relationships with local universities, particularly the University of Ottawa. All psychologists are clinical professors in the School of Psychology and many are members of the Faculty of Graduate and Postgraduate Studies.
