Welcome to Healing Owl

We help people understand themselves more deeply and move toward a more meaningful and authentic life.

Healing begins with wisdom, reflection, and the courage to see clearly

Mental health struggles often arise from experiences that leave us feeling stuck—patterns of anxiety, depression, trauma, or perfectionism that quietly shape how we see ourselves and the world. Healing begins when we slow down, look honestly at those patterns, and develop new ways of relating to ourselves.

The goal is simple

At Healing Owl Psychiatry, the goal is simple: to help people understand themselves more deeply and move toward a more meaningful and authentic life.

Dr. Roshan Hegde provides thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care in a calm and respectful environment. Treatment includes psychotherapy, medication when appropriate, and practical strategies to support lasting change.

 

In-person and virtual therapy for groups and individuals

My work focuses on helping people understand the deeper emotional patterns that keep them stuck and supporting them as they move toward meaningful change.


Areas of focus

  • Depression

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

  • Anxiety

    Treatment for excessive worry, fear, panic, and anxiety that can interfere with work, relationships, sleep, and everyday activities.

  • Trauma/PTSD

    Care for distressing memories, heightened emotional reactions, avoidance, and other symptoms related to traumatic experiences.

  • Perfectionism

    Support for rigid expectations, self-criticism, fear of failure, and perfectionistic patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety.

Meet Roshan

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 believe lasting healing happens when we take the time to understand the story behind the symptoms.”
