Geoff Straw

Board of Directors
Dignity Seniors Society

Geoff Straw (he/him) is a Registered Psychotherapist (ON) and a Registered Clinical Counsellor (B.C.) with 35 years of experience in providing therapy and support to individuals, groups, and workplaces.

While completing research with cancer patients during the M.A. program, Geoff developed a strong interest in helping individuals and families cope with the stress of illness, and focused on reducing anxiety and finding meaning in life. Assisting senior clients as well as family members who were facing challenges with aging contributed to an interest in aging, living and dying.

Geoff specializes in providing support to caregivers as well as to individuals who are coping with illness and end-of-life care, as well as comprehensive grief and bereavement support. 

Geoff also has a keen interest in promoting well-being through talk therapy, mindfulness practice and the reduction of anxiety for various life circumstances and transition.  He supports well-being in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and specializes in issues unique to men.  

In his spare time, Geoff enjoys walks in nature and time spent with friends and family.
