Pamela Draper, MMT, MT-BC

She/Her

Nonprofit Leader, Community Arts Administrator, Community Music Therapist

I’m a master’s level, board certified music therapist, community worker and nonprofit manager. ​Since graduating with my master’s degree in 2013, I have focused on building my knowledge and ​experience base around person-centered therapy, harm reduction and community arts, creativity ​and healing. I lived and worked in Philadelphia for 16, life-changing years. It’s where I first ​encountered real community work, and where I gained priceless experience with public arts ​programming, working with local/city agencies and developing trauma-informed safe spaces.

  • Currently working in both Delaware and Philadelphia
  • Available for consultations and speaking engagements (I have been a guest lecturer at West ​Chester University, Temple University, The University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College ​and Bryn Mawr College)
