Abby Butler is truly incredible. She is compassionate, insightful, and has a great read on people and situations. She has mentored me through an incredibly tough situation with solid advice, care, and compassion. She is very kind, but she isn’t passive. She is a great listener and sounding board, but she will also speak up and tell you when you need to do something differently, which I appreciate. She has been a tremendous support for me in becoming a healthier version of myself while navigating a difficult situation. She is just so, so good at what she does, she is truly gifted. I highly recommend her.

I cant begin to explain how much help Abby has brought to my life over the last year! What brought me to Abby and Midtown Nashville Counseling, was a need for help in so many areas of my life. What I have received has been life altering. Abby takes the time to listen and understand the help I need, and provide me with a plan to make my life better. She is extremely knowledgeable, and very compassionate about what is going on in my life. I feel very comfortable, and at ease, talking to her and that says a lot since I have always had hard time in my life sharing things about me. I would recommend Abby to anyone that needs hope for a better life.

I have been seeing Abby Butler at Midtown Nashville Counseling for several years now and cannot recommend her and the team at Midtown Nashville Counseling enough. Abby is kind, thoughtful, and very practical. She is both validating and challenging. I love how we can change gears quickly in a session and leave with practical steps going forward. Shes gifted at both individual and couples/family counseling. I really appreciate how she builds on previous sessions each time I see her. Being recently certified in brainspotting has really added a lot to our sessions! Ive also seen Andy Garner who is also incredibly gifted. My family and I have benefited tremendously from seeing both of them.

Laura Young is incredible. She immediately connected with my 17 year old daughter and was able to help her overcome severe sport anxiety/trauma with both cognitive therapy and brain spotting. It was an absolute game changer- literally. This entire practice is excellent. They are focused on the healing of the client- not dragging out years of sessions. They are kind, personable, professional and excellent in all areas.

Abby was recommended to me a couple of years ago, and she has helped me gain so many tools to better navigate challenges and embrace change. She has a knack for switching gears on the fly, if a more pressing topic arises between sessions, as life often throws us curve balls. Abby is constantly seeking new knowledge herself, and incorporates up-to-date research in her methods. As part of her commitment to continual learning, she is never without an on-point book or podcast recommendation, which enriches the time spent in session. While the thought of therapy can be scary, Abby makes it a comfortable experience. She is professional, yet warm; promotes self-compassion, without jeopardizing accountability; and can meet you where youre at that day, while laying the foundation for the next growth goal. Im grateful for Abbys service, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking to learn new ways to approach life more healthily!

Abby is a literal godsend. She has helped me navigate many life changes and relationship challenges. Her guidance has brought me more in touch with my own emotions and matured my ability to recognize, process, and cope with them. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I see Laura Young and she is amazing. I cannot say enough about MidtownNashvilleCounseling and their compassion and skill set. I would highly recommend them! I have seen Abby Butler as well and she is also excellent.

I have had the opportunity to meet with Andy for the past 4 years. Andy is amazing! He is very discerning, intentional, knowledgeable, and practical. I feel all our sessions are useful resulting in a healthier me. I have also had the opportunity to participate in several Midtown Nashville Counseling group classes. They are impactful, relevant and have led to a better understanding of myself, my family and my co-workers. After time in previous counseling situations, Andy and Midtown Nashville Counseling are the best!

I would highly recommend Abby Butler, shes genuine and insightful.

I would highly recommend Andy Garner and Midtown Nashville Counseling. Everyone needs an occasional tune up, and my experience with Andy has always been one of a highly competent, caring professional who always has his clients best interest in mind, and only wants the best for them. Andy is a great listener and confidant, and always seems to get right to the root of the problem with actionable solutions. I consider Andy my counselor for life!

Midtown Nashville Counseling has been a huge blessing in my life and in the life of my entire family. When you are choosing a counselor, there is so much trust involved in deciding who you will open up to for help and insight into the struggles we all deal with. In my case, I was so fortunate that Andrew Garner and the team @ Midtown Nashville were recommended to me by my friends and I would heartily recommend them to anyone in need of support, wisdom and insight wherever you are in your life. Definitely worth your time to touch base with them and see for yourself!

Andy is such a supportive therapist. He walked me through a divorce and I will forever be grateful for his influence during that phase of my life.

Andy Garner is the best counselor that Ive ever experienced.He listened to me on a very deep level and connected instantly.His guidance from our sessions coupled with neurofeedback helped me regain my balance during a time of crisis and high anxiety.Im grateful for my productive experience with him.Peace,Steve Brewster

Andy and his staff provide a safe place to share and explore our problems and trauma. He not only creates space for his clients by a comfortable atmosphere but in the listening he also shares and by the session’s end relays practical next steps, books to read or ways to journal or grow. He offers therapy beyond talking - his brainspotting work helps us explore the trauma we may not even recall or know the depth of and ultimately helps us integrate it and live with it in a more healthy way. He’s also an awesome resource for life coaching and referring his clients to other therapists and other professionals. Highly recommend him and his team.

I first learned of Andy Garner and Midtown Nashville Counseling in 2012. At the time, I had no idea what a significant role he would play in my story. With patience, wisdom, and compassion, Andy walked with me in a way that allowed healing, courage and truth to enter the hidden corners of my heart. His care, demeanor and depth of experience make for an irreplaceable counselor. If you are looking for a counselor in the Nashville area, I highly recommend you get in touch with Midtown Nashville Counseling.

The services that Andy and Laura have provided to me have been invaluable and nothing short of life changing. I whole heartedly recommend them to anyone looking for support from compassionate and competent counselors.

Andy Garner and Mid-Town Counseling are truly gifted and skilled in helping people to work through trauma and create balance to get their lives back on track by providing real tools to make real changes that stick.
