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 working with individuals in and around Monument often support clients from neighborhoods like Jackson Creek, Woodmoor, Palmer Lake, Kings Deer, and along Highway 105. Whether you’re commuting to Colorado Springs or working remotely, care can be accessed through online or nearby in-person appointments.

Therapy is available for anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting, and chronic stress. Support is also available for military families and those transitioning between life stages.

Most Monument-area therapists accept Kaiser Permanente and additional health plans. You can connect with providers who meet your scheduling needs and offer care aligned with your preferences.

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.

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.
