The Music Industry Therapist Collective Becomes a Nonprofit

The Music Industry Therapist Collective CIC (MITC CIC) has transitioned to a nonprofit organization, unlocking new funding opportunities and partnerships to scale specialist mental health support across the global music industry.

Why it matters:

• Transitioning to a nonprofit allows the MITC to remove financial barriers to accessing care.

• It enables the body to scale bespoke, industry-specific services for touring artists and crew, as well as managers, executives and organizations working under pressure.

• With nonprofit status, MITC will accelerate partnerships, research and funding to support sustainable careers in music, on stage, on the road and behind the scenes.

Backstory:

• MITC was founded by psychotherapist and former booker and tour manager Tamsin Embleton.

• The organization offers an international network of psychotherapists and psychologists who themselves have worked professionally in the music business prior to retraining.

• It offers individual, group and band psychotherapy, performance psychology, workshops, consultation and health services in the UK, US, Europe and India.

• In 2025, MITC delivered workshops, consultation and health and welfare services to the tours of Radiohead, Dua Lipa, Tate McRae and The Last Dinner Party, alongside labels, promoters and conferences worldwide.

What they said:

• Tamsin Embleton: “Becoming a nonprofit gives us the structure to deliver what the music industry needs most right now – flexible, creative, clinically robust support that meets people where they are. It allows us to keep innovating, respond quickly to real-world pressures, and reinvest directly into the artists, crews and teams who keep this industry running.”
