Meet Pamela
I am Pamela Fry. My parents were born on Vancouver Island, and my grandparents were primarily of Scottish and English stock. I was raised in the suburbs of Vancouver, but have sought smaller communities throughout my life, and have now settled with my husband in 108 Mile Ranch in the beautiful Cariboo region of BC.
I am compassionate, empathetic, and intuitive Art Therapist. I consider myself culturally aware and committed to continuous learning. I offer client-focused care and gentle, creative inspiration and support.
My approach to therapy is informed by narrative therapy, principals of expressive arts therapies, neuroscience, and trauma-based practices. In addition, I am training to practice in the context of critical incident response through the Justice Institute of British Columbia.
I have made a lifelong commitment to social justice, and prioritize access and equity. I welcome people from all communities, and strive to continue to learn how to be a better ally to Indigenous and 2SLGBTQ+ communities.
Autumn Art Therapy is proud to make a monthly contribution to Indspire, an Indigenous national charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people for the long-term benefit of these individuals, their families and communities, and Canada.

grief
On a more personal note, I have experienced anxiety and depression for most of my life. With art therapy and the correct medication, I now live life fully and joyfully.
My interest in grief support has arisen from personal circumstances. I was widowed at an early age, and parented my daughter for many years alone. I have also experienced bereavement due to suicide, as well as the loss of both parents. I understand the feelings associated with grief, and how grief can be complicated and enduring. I bring this sensitivity into therapy sessions and seek to respectfully and patiently support clients.
I also provide eco art therapy. This practice focuses on connecting to the natural world through creativity. These sessions may take place in an outdoor setting, but can also be facilitated indoors or online. Please contact Pamela to learn more.
