Westside Behavioral Care offers one of Colorado’s largest networks of mental health providers (LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, PsyD/PhDs, PMHNPs, etc) dedicated to Kaiser Permanente patients statewide. Established in 1998 with the mission of making appointment scheduling as easy and convenient as possible, Westside’s licensed therapists serve thousands of patients a year by providing supportive counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and more. Appointments are available through in-person sessions across the Denver metro area (Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Boulder, Arvada, etc.) and convenient online therapy statewide.

Thanks to our partnership with Kaiser, members can expect quick access to care (often in as little as 48 hours) without worrying about prior authorizations or referrals. Nearly all Westside therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, meaning you get the care you need at in-network rates. Our team will verify your benefits and share them with your therapist ahead of your first appointment so you’re fully informed going into your first session.

True to our mission, we make scheduling easy for everyone. You can choose your preferred therapist by using our scheduling tool available 24/7, call our friendly receptionists (available Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm MST) at (303) 986-4197, complete one of the many contact forms on our website, or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal assistance. Our patient-focused approach is designed to give Kaiser members in Colorado a stress-free, positive experience.

Lakewood-area therapists provide care throughout neighborhoods including Green Mountain, Applewood, Belmar, Bear Creek, Eiber, Westgate, and Kendrick Lake. In-person sessions are available near major landmarks such as the Denver Federal Center, Belmar Park, and along Kipling or Wadsworth, with online therapy accessible statewide.

Providers support individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, grief, stress, and relationship conflict. Services are available for a wide range of life stages and emotional needs, from early adulthood through family transitions and beyond.

Most Lakewood therapists accept Kaiser Permanente and other well-known insurance plans. Clients can select a provider based on session format, clinical focus, schedule flexibility, and insurance coverage to find the best therapeutic match.

Surviving abuse, whether emotional, physical, sexual, or psychological, can leave deep, lasting wounds that impact every part of daily life. Many abuse survivors experience symptoms like anxiety, depression, difficulty trusting others, low self-worth, nightmares, or chronic hypervigilance. These responses are normal reactions to trauma, yet they can make it hard to feel safe, form healthy relationships, or simply get through the day. Abuse can happen to anyone, including children, teens, and adults, and often leads to feelings of shame, guilt, or isolation that make it even harder to reach out for help.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care offer compassionate, trauma-informed support to help abuse survivors process their experiences and reclaim their lives. Depending on your needs, therapy may incorporate evidence-based approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These methods help survivors safely work through trauma, build emotional regulation skills, and reconnect with a sense of empowerment and self-worth. Many clients find it helpful to ask potential therapists about their experience with trauma recovery and which modalities they use in sessions.

Healing is possible, and support is within reach. Westside Behavioral Care offers both in-person sessions across the Greater Denver Area and secure online therapy throughout Colorado, making it easy to get started in a way that fits your life. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance providers. Whether you’re seeking gentle support, trauma processing, or a safe space to start rebuilding, we’re here to help you take the next step forward.

Teenagers experience rapid growth, not only physically but emotionally and mentally, as they move toward adulthood. The teen years often involve major shifts in identity, peer relationships, academic pressure, and emotional regulation. Common concerns during this time include anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, social isolation, academic burnout, family conflict, and navigating gender or sexual identity. With the right tools and guidance, teens can learn to process their experiences and develop the confidence and emotional skills they need for adulthood.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care work collaboratively with teens to create a judgment-free space where they feel heard and understood. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness strategies, or solution-focused approaches depending on the teen’s needs and preferences. Our therapists are skilled at building trust, balancing autonomy with support, and involving parents or caregivers when helpful, all while prioritizing the teen’s voice in their care.

Westside provides therapy for teens ages 13–18 both in person at locations across the Greater Denver Area and online anywhere in Colorado. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many work with additional major insurance providers. Whether your teen needs support with daily stressors or more complex emotional challenges, Westside offers compassionate, accessible care to help them grow and thrive during these critical years.
