Biography

Janine Olthuis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of New Brunswick. She has a strong background in clinical psychology, having received her PhD from Dalhousie University. Her research primarily focuses on increasing access to evidence-based psychological interventions by exploring cognitive behavioral theories, particularly in relation to anxiety-related disorders. This includes issues such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use. Janine is particularly interested in how physical activity, such as running, can be integrated into mental health treatment and is engaged in developing and evaluating distance-delivered psychological interventions, notably Internet-based care.
