PTSD Therapy in Ontario

Trauma-focused psychotherapy for healthcare professionals, first responders, and adults recovering from medical trauma. Virtual across Ontario.

I’m Shev Collure, a Registered Social Worker providing evidence-based PTSD and trauma therapy to adults across Ontario. I specialize in helping healthcare professionals, first responders, and individuals impacted by medical trauma reduce symptoms, process overwhelming experiences, and regain stability in daily life.

Trauma Recovery Is Possible

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related symptoms can quietly take over daily life. You may feel constantly on edge, disconnected, emotionally numb, or exhausted from holding everything together. Sleep may be disrupted. Certain situations may trigger strong reactions. You may avoid reminders of what happened while feeling unable to fully move forward.

For many adults, trauma does not stem from a single event. It develops cumulatively through repeated exposure, high-stakes responsibility, ethical distress, or medical experiences that overwhelmed the nervous system. In these situations, what looks like burnout or stress can in fact be PTSD, cumulative trauma, or moral injury.

Recovery is possible. With structured, evidence-based trauma therapy, symptoms can decrease, and a greater sense of stability and safety can return.

I’m Shev Collure, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist based in Ontario. I provide trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults across Ontario through secure virtual care.

My work is focused on helping people recover from PTSD, cumulative trauma, and moral injury using evidence-based approaches. I specialize in trauma that develops in high-responsibility, high-stakes, or medically complex contexts, where people were exposed to overwhelming experiences over time rather than a single event.

About Shev Collure, RSW

My Approach

My approach is structured, collaborative, and trauma focused. I use evidence-based trauma therapies, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), selecting and pacing treatment based on each person’s history, symptoms, and readiness.

Trauma therapy is not about forcing disclosure or reliving experiences unnecessarily. It is about creating the conditions for safe processing, reducing avoidance and hypervigilance, and helping the nervous system regain flexibility and stability. Throughout our work, I prioritize clarity, consent, and a pace that feels manageable and grounded.

Experience & Professional Background

I have more than 20 years of experience in mental health and over a decade specializing in psychotherapy. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with individuals navigating complex trauma, moral injury, and high-stress professional roles.

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and provide psychotherapy services in Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area and throughout Ontario, in accordance with provincial and professional standards. My work is informed by ongoing training, clinical experience, and a commitment to ethical, evidence-based care.

My Clinical Focus

I work primarily with adults who have experienced trauma related to the following:

including operational trauma and critical incidents

First Responders & Emergency Service Roles

including cumulative exposure, ethical distress, and moral injury

Medical and healthcare-related experiences

such as hospitalization, procedures, illness, or loss of bodily autonomy

Healthcare work

Each of these trauma contexts carries different pressures and meanings.

My role is to help clients make sense of what happened, reduce the symptoms that persist long after the events have passed, and restore a sense of agency and safety in daily life.
