Allison Thomas, MBA, MT-BC
Allison has been the owner of Mainstay Music Therapy, Inc. for 12+ years and has a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA). She has grown Mainstay from a solo practice, to one that has worked with over 45 music therapists, has a 2500+ square foot clinic space, a current team of 15+ music therapists, a National Roster Internship site, and one of the largest providers of music therapy services in Northern Indiana.
Allison has extensive knowledge of how to navigate contracting vs. employment, development of forms, business startup and entity selection, needed policies and creation, financials and budgeting, bookkeeping and balancing, employee benefits and implementation, job creation, marketing and hiring, delegating, business growth, company operations, and streamlining processes.

Navigating the business world is a challenging task. We are not prepped to be business owners on top of therapists in our college curriculum, but we often find ourselves needing some level of business know-how in our work. Whether you’d like to learn more about the start up or running of a business, consultation is a great way to learn! Reach out for specific or general help in areas in which you are wondering or growing!
Consultations can be flexible based on your needs; one time or ongoing.
