Jim Anderson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Private Practice in Temecula, California where he specializes in work with Children and Adolescents. He is the creator of Music Based Therapy (MBT), an innovative therapeutic approach that utilizes guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and songwriting together with a variety of insight oriented and cognitive behavioral approaches. Jim has developed his MBT approach over the past 15 years, which is currently being used successfully in a number of Group Home settings in Southern California.
The combination of music and psychotherapy together helps individuals and families resolve difficult issues, work through anger, and make lasting changes. Music creates a sense of comfort, and is a positive, non-threatening way to reach children and teens. According to one of Jim's clients, “I had taken my son to several therapists without any results. A friend referred us to Jim. When my son saw that he could learn guitar and write songs in counseling, his resistance to seeing a therapist vanished. Jim was great with him, and we quickly saw significant improvements in his behavior and attitude. And he actually looked forward to going to therapy".
