FAQs and Details for Kaiser Members

Yes! Nearly all of our therapists accept Kaiser Permanente insurance, and other insurance plans, for mental health services in Colorado. We offer in-person and telehealth therapy sessions. To schedule an appointment or verify coverage, call 303-986-4197 or visit our Kaiser providers page.

Our in-network providers do not require a referral or prior authorization to see Kaiser Permanente patients with Colorado-based plans. Patients with out-of-state plans and some psychiatric services may require a prior authorization. If one is needed, our team can request one on your behalf to make the process as easy as possible for you. If you have any questions about your coverage, please contact our team at info@westsidebehavioral.com for assistance.

Of course! You can browse our Kaiser provider profiles accepting new patients here. Our team is also available to help you find a therapist who meets your needs, insurance, and location. Feel free to call 303-986-4197 for phone assistance, email us at info@westsidebehavioral.com, or submit a contact form to connect with us.

Working with Young Adults

Emerging adulthood brings new freedoms and new stressors. Between college, career choices, evolving friendships, financial independence, and navigating personal identity, this stage can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Many young adults face challenges with anxiety, depression, life direction, relationship struggles, or lingering effects of childhood trauma. Others are simply seeking personal growth and emotional clarity as they begin defining who they are and what they want for their future.

 

At Westside Behavioral Care, our therapists tailor sessions to meet the evolving needs of young adults in this unique life phase. Therapy might focus on emotional regulation, coping with uncertainty, building self-esteem, or managing stress from school or work. We use a range of proven approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-informed methods, and mindfulness-based interventions. The therapeutic relationship emphasizes respect, collaboration, and creating a space where clients can openly explore thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

 

Young adults can access therapy through Westside either in person throughout the Greater Denver Area or through secure online sessions from anywhere in Colorado. Our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also contracted with other major insurance providers. Whether you’re starting college, entering the workforce, or working through personal transitions, our team is here to support your emotional well-being and long-term growth.
