Bio/Research
Dr. Ornstein received her doctorate from the University of Cambridge, England in 2001. After completed graduate school, she returned home to Toronto to work at The Hospital for Sick Children in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry division. Prior to completing post graduate work, she trained as a Clinical Neuropsychologist, working at various hospitals, including the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, and Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences. Following further internship training and a return to research, she became a licensed Clinical Neuropsychologist in December 2005. Around the same time, she began working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson).
Over the past several years, Dr. Ornstein has supervised students with varying levels of research experience, from volunteers to PhD level students, and she welcomes new members to the lab on a rolling basis.
Research efforts focus on several areas, including neurocognition, intervention, and/or EEG applications. The lab has examined and continues to investigate for instance, the neurocognitive outcome of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and related spectrum disorders in addition to answering questions pertaining to both subjective and objective cognitive abilities/impairment; and, the evaluation of post-traumatic sequaelae in Traumatic Brain Injury, such as accident phobia, pain, and emotional distress.
She currently holds collaborations with Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and The Hospital for Sick Children, as well as collaborations with private practitioners in the community and North America. Dr. Ornstein welcomes the opportunity for further collaborations.
