About Isaac Garfinkle (He/Him)
Isaac Garfinkle helps patients build practical skills, strengthen resilience, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, he provides therapy for adolescents, teens, adults, and older adults throughout Colorado. Isaac creates a supportive, collaborative environment where patients feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. His clinical interests include anxiety, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns, while also offering support for a wide range of additional mental health needs. Isaac is especially passionate about working with individuals who have recently been discharged from a psychiatric hospital, those participating in court-ordered treatment, and people navigating current legal matters. He understands that these situations can be complex and stressful, often involving significant life transitions and uncertainty. Through compassionate, evidence-based care, he helps patients develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and work toward stability, personal growth, and long-term success. In addition to these specialties, Isaac works with individuals facing depression, grief, childhood behavioral concerns, and school avoidance. He also supports members of the LGBTQ+ community and provides care tailored to the unique experiences and challenges of diverse populations. His approach is grounded in meeting patients where they are and helping them identify realistic, achievable goals that support lasting well-being. Isaac utilizes a variety of therapeutic approaches based on each patient’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR. He also offers family therapy and has experience helping families improve communication, strengthen relationships, and navigate difficult life circumstances together. His treatment style combines clinical expertise with genuine compassion, helping patients gain insight while developing practical tools for everyday life. Outside of his clinical work, Isaac enjoys astronomy, photography, camping, hiking, fishing, 3D printing, music and audio, gardening, and spending time with his family and pets. These interests reflect his appreciation for creativity, lifelong learning, and connection with others.
