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.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a powerful approach for people who feel stuck in painful thoughts, emotions, or life situations. It’s often helpful for those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, grief, or identity-related struggles. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings, ACT helps people relate to them in healthier, more compassionate ways, while building a life centered around personal values. Many individuals drawn to ACT feel caught between wanting change and feeling overwhelmed by emotional discomfort. This therapy offers practical strategies for increasing psychological flexibility so people can move forward even when things feel hard.

At Westside Behavioral Care, therapists trained in ACT gently guide clients through techniques like mindfulness, cognitive defusion, and values-based action. ACT is especially effective for individuals dealing with persistent emotional pain, avoidance, or rigid thinking patterns. Our therapists may also integrate approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care, depending on each client’s needs. ACT isn’t about “fixing” what’s wrong, it’s about opening up to the present and taking meaningful steps toward what matters most. New clients might want to ask their therapist about how ACT could help them build more resilience and clarity in their everyday lives.

Therapists who offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are available for both in-person sessions across the Greater Denver Area and secure online appointments throughout Colorado. Westside Behavioral Care is proud to be in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many of our providers also accept a range of major insurance plans. Whether you’re new to therapy or exploring new approaches, compassionate and skilled support is just a step away.

Adulthood often brings a complex mix of responsibilities, expectations, and internal challenges. Career shifts, family demands, health concerns, grief, and evolving personal identities can all contribute to emotional strain. Adults in this age group may experience anxiety, burnout, depression, or difficulty maintaining healthy relationships. Even those who appear to be functioning well on the surface may benefit from a space to process emotions, gain perspective, and build healthier coping mechanisms.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, our therapists collaborate with adult clients to create a treatment plan that fits their lifestyle, values, and goals. Evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and trauma-informed care are often used. Therapy may involve exploring personal patterns, working through long-standing emotional blocks, improving communication skills, or managing ongoing stressors with greater resilience and self-awareness.

Adults across Colorado can connect with Westside therapists either in person at locations throughout the Denver metro area or virtually through secure online sessions. All providers are contracted with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept additional insurance networks. Whether you’re seeking short-term support during a life change or long-term mental health care, Westside offers accessible, professional therapy designed to help adults navigate life with greater clarity and emotional strength.
