Andy specializes in helping clients manage difficult relationships, relieve anxiety, and balance their lives. He is an expert at working with clients who are in crisis, and in teaching clients how to relate to difficult and manipulative people, both in the home and the workplace.
Andy’s clients find him to be approachable, direct, and realistic in his counseling methods. He relates particularly well to men and women who are hesitant to attend counseling. Andy works hand-in-hand with many of Nashville’s elite executives, attorneys, medical professionals, musicians, and athletes.
“Years ago, I attended a wilderness survival school in the mountains. I learned that when you’re lost — take off your pack, sit down, get out your map, re-orient yourself, and make a plan. When we’re in a crisis or feeling lost, it’s often very helpful to consult a professional — to re-orient ourselves, and make a plan for moving forward." - Andy Garner
