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.

Therapists serving the Littleton area provide care across neighborhoods such as Ken Caryl, Grant Ranch, Columbine, Bow Mar, Stony Creek, and Governor’s Ranch. Those living near Chatfield State Park, Southwest Plaza, or the Broadway corridor have access to both in-person therapy and virtual counseling options tailored to their lifestyle and location.

Whether you’re navigating a recent life change or managing long-term emotional health, Littleton providers support a range of concerns including PTSD, panic attacks, stress, depression, grief, and family dynamics. Many also specialize in therapy for adolescents, blended families, and couples facing communication or trust issues.

Most therapists in the Littleton network accept Kaiser Permanente along with other major insurance plans. Clients can explore providers based on schedule availability, session format, area of focus, and coverage, making it easy to find a therapist aligned with your goals.

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.

Later adulthood often involves meaningful changes like retirement, physical health shifts, caregiving roles, or the loss of loved ones. These transitions can stir up feelings of grief, loneliness, anxiety, or even depression. At the same time, older adults bring decades of wisdom, experience, and insight to the therapeutic process. Many seek therapy not just for emotional pain, but for personal reflection, greater life satisfaction, or support in facing the uncertainties that aging can bring.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our therapists offer compassionate, individualized care designed for older adults. Sessions may include life review techniques, coping strategies for chronic illness, grief counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or simply a safe space to talk through current struggles. Providers often integrate family input when helpful, while respecting the autonomy and voice of the senior client throughout the therapeutic journey.

Older adults in Colorado can access care at Westside through local offices in the Greater Denver Area or from the comfort of home via HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions. All therapists are contracted with Kaiser Permanente, and many participate with other major insurance carriers. Whether you’re seeking emotional support, adjustment counseling, or a space for reflection, Westside is committed to helping seniors maintain mental wellness and live with purpose and peace of mind.
