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.
Meet Shev:
I’m Shev Collure, a Registered Social Worker providing trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults across Ontario through secure virtual care. I am based in Toronto and serve individuals throughout the Greater Toronto Area and across Ontario.
I bring more than 20 years of experience in mental health and over a decade specializing in psychotherapy. Over the course of my career, I have worked with individuals navigating complex trauma, moral injury, and high-stress professional roles. My work is informed by ongoing clinical training, professional standards, and a commitment to ethical, evidence-based care.
How I Help
I specialize in trauma that develops in high-responsibility, high-stakes, or medically complex contexts, where individuals were exposed to overwhelming experiences over time rather than a single incident.
My clinical focus includes:
• Healthcare professionals experiencing cumulative trauma, ethical distress, and moral injury
• First responders and emergency service professionals exposed to operational trauma and critical incidents
• Adults impacted by medical trauma, including hospitalization, procedures, illness, injury, or loss of bodily autonomy
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 stability in daily life.
My approach is structured, collaborative, and trauma-focused. I use evidence-based PTSD treatments 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. Throughout our work, I prioritize clarity, consent, and a pace that feels manageable and grounded.
