Hello! I am a Registered Psychologist and Registered Play Therapy Supervisor, passionate about supporting children, youth, and parents during times of challenge. I feel that there is a great capacity for growth within the moments that feel the hardest. I am well-versed in working with children and youth who have experienced trauma, and supporting parents/caregivers in responding to behaviours associated with such experiences. I believe that while mental health challenges in childhood and adolescence can be impactful, early intervention can have a positive impact on long term development.

I have a very rational and direct approach to counselling; I will say it how I see it, but with a sense of humor if appropriate. My knowledge and experience is well suited for clients that are dealing either with trauma (especially sexual violence or childhood abuse), or would like to have more effective thoughts and behaviours. Healing is not easy, but by looking at what can change, and what could be accepted, clients often find a new balance that helps their thoughts and feelings become more adaptive, helpful, and much less painful. I am currently taking clients in person or online.

My approach to counselling draws on different modalities to tailor the therapy experience to each client’s needs. I practice from an attachment lens, looking at the relationships that have shaped us. I use a trauma-informed approach, alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).

If you need help getting “un-stuck” then I’m the therapist for you. On the surface you might look like you’re holding it together. Underneath though, you feel anxious, self-critical, and emotionally exhausted. Your mind doesn’t slow down, you overthink and question yourself, and feel pressure to get things “right” or to be in a different space in your life. You want to get un-stuck from unrelenting cycles of harsh self-criticism, fear of failure, grief, and unmet needs of being seen, understood, and accepted. Together we will explore those deeper levels of pain and hurt and create meaningful action outside of sessions.

“We are relational beings" and we discover ourselves in our relationship to others. When these relationships don’t feel “secure”, we may feel alone or in pain, causing personal struggles to be more difficult. My experience in counselling those who face marital, family, and parenting struggles, offers ways to overcome the barriers that get in the way of reaching out to those you love. I offer my authenticity, a supportive place to reflect and discover new ways of viewing yourself, which leads to positive change.

The people I work with have minds that don’t switch off. Their days are shaped by worry, what-ifs, intrusive thoughts, or the after-effects of difficult experiences. I work with anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, and financial issues like gambling, compulsive spending, and financial anxiety. These issues bleed into sleep, work, and relationships, and can lead to loops of checking, avoiding, mentally reviewing conversations, and more. My clients want life to feel calm and flexible, and are looking for effective treatment that is going to make a difference.

Everyday life presents many challenges, and not all are easy to overcome. To protect our mental and physical health, it’s important to recognize when stress goes beyond our ability to cope. Reaching out can help us find a space where we feel safe, respected, and understood—where we can gain insight, create meaningful change, improve relationships, and begin to heal using the strengths we already have.

You feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Regardless of how hard you try, you feel like you aren’t good enough. You struggle to live up to the expectations that you have for yourself and that everyone seems to have for you. These feelings may show up in your relationships with partner(s), family, or friends; in your career; or even in how you relate to your body. Maybe the seeds of self-doubt were planted by a well-meaning person in your life. Maybe they come from your social media feed or societal expectations to be perfect. You wish you could let go of the pressure and live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Since addiction can been seen as a symptom of a larger issue, I use compassionate, non judgemental, and evidence based interventions to get to the underlying root of the addiction.

My name is Dr Roshan Hegde. I’ve just started a private practice with a focus on therapy, but I will offer medication if needed/warranted. My focus is on PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and Perfectionism. My goal is to provide therapy that is focused on targeting those issues at the root of the disorder and work together to help provide long-lasting change. We will review the goals and direction of treatment every 6 months to ensure we are moving in the right direction. Therapy will be time-limited with the understanding that the goal is independence, not reliance on a therapist or psychiatrist.

Do you find yourself asking, “Why am I like this?”; trauma, addiction, and anxiety can pull you off course without warning. I help people make sense of these patterns, without judgement. Many people I work with feel frustrated, ashamed, or confused by their own reactions, knowing what they want logically, yet feeling pulled in another direction emotionally. These patterns often develop for understandable reasons, especially in the context of things like trauma. You’re not broken, weak, or failing. In therapy, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and work toward change in a way that feels safe and respectful.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.

Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.

Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
