I am a psychiatrist based in Edmonton, Alberta

Healing begins with seeing

My name is Dr. Roshan Hegde, and I am a psychiatrist based in Edmonton, Alberta.  I spent the first 8 years of my career working in addictions, and started a private practice in January of 2026.  I have been practicing therapy, including EMDR for 8 years, and have experience with both individual and group therapy.  My work focuses on helping people understand the deeper emotional patterns that keep them stuck and supporting them as they move toward meaningful change.

I help patients develop insight, resilience, and self-understanding

Many people come to psychiatry hoping for relief from symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or overwhelming stress. While symptom relief is important, I believe lasting healing happens when we take the time to understand the story behind the symptoms.

My approach combines psychiatric expertise with psychotherapy to help patients develop insight, resilience, and self-understanding. I aim to create a space where patients feel safe exploring difficult experiences while building the tools needed to move forward.

Sessions are covered by Alberta Health. There is no out-of-pocket charge.

My areas of focus include

Depression

Support for persistent sadness, low motivation, loss of interest, and other symptoms affecting daily life and well-being.

Anxiety disorders

Treatment for excessive worry, fear, panic, and anxiety that interfere with everyday activities and quality of life.

Trauma and PTSD

Compassionate care for distressing memories, emotional reactions, and other symptoms related to traumatic experiences.

Perfectionism

Support for managing unrealistic expectations, self-criticism, and perfectionistic patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety.

Transparency

I aim to be completely transparent up front in terms of what I can and cannot help people with.  My practice emphasizes thoughtful assessment, collaborative treatment planning, and evidence-based psychotherapy.

I do not treat ADHD, Autism, or Neurocognitive disorders, bipolar disorders, psychotic disorders, WCB, insurance claims, or AISH applications.
