The practice places significant emphasis on Brainspotting Therapy, which it describes as a method that “bypasses the thinking brain (neocortex) and accesses the reactive brain (subcortex), allowing you to resolve trauma responses in a comfortable, controlled setting with an attuned, caring professional.” The site frames brainspotting as a technical form of psychotherapy typically used for trauma and anxiety-related conditions, distinguishing it from non-technical talk therapy. The practice notes that its Master Brainspotting Professionals have achieved the highest training level and that its brainspotting-trained therapists are credentialed by Brainspotting educators, with specialties including OCD, addiction, anxiety, and trauma treatment.
About
The practice’s treatment philosophy emphasizes resolving unresolved trauma in order to reduce physiological stress responses, noting the effects of cortisol release on mood, memory, sleep, focus, digestion, and immune function. This trauma-focused orientation runs through several of the practice’s offerings, from individual and couples work to its EMDR and brainspotting services and its women’s experiential group retreat. In a note from its founder, B. Andrew Garner, M.Div., LMFT, the site states: “After nearly 20 years of building and leading a team of therapists at Midtown Nashville Counseling, I have returned to the simplicity of solo practice.” The site also references several related entities, including Nashville Counseling Associates, PLLC (led by Dr. Kristi Marshall Miller), Freestone River Counseling, and MendingLines Professional Development, indicating a broader network of affiliated counseling and professional development resources.
