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.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that can affect children, teens, and adults. It’s often marked by difficulties with focus, impulse control, organization, and restlessness. While many people with ADHD are energetic and creative, they may struggle with school, work, or relationships due to forgetfulness, distraction, or emotional regulation challenges. There are several types of ADHD, including inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined presentations, each with its own mix of symptoms. Left untreated, ADHD can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and a sense of being constantly overwhelmed.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care offer personalized support for ADHD using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and executive functioning coaching. Therapy often focuses on building skills like time management, emotional regulation, and self-monitoring, while also addressing anxiety, shame, or family dynamics that may accompany ADHD. For children, therapists may incorporate play-based interventions or collaborate with schools. Adults might benefit from organizational tools and coping strategies tailored to their lifestyle. Clients exploring therapy for ADHD may want to ask about treatment plans that balance structure with flexibility and address co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression.

Support for ADHD is available through both in-person appointments across the Greater Denver Area and secure online therapy throughout Colorado. All Westside Behavioral Care providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans. Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or your child, our team is here to make high-quality ADHD care accessible, compassionate, and effective.

The 10–12 age range is a meaningful time of transition as children begin preparing for adolescence. At this stage, they’re exploring independence, shaping their identity, and learning to manage more complex social dynamics and academic expectations. It’s common for children in this group to experience challenges like anxiety, peer conflict, school stress, emotional regulation difficulties, or family transitions such as divorce or relocation. This is also a key developmental window for building healthy communication skills and internal resilience before entering the teen years.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care create a safe, encouraging environment for children to talk about what’s on their minds and learn practical coping skills. Sessions may include child-led conversations, CBT strategies, problem-solving exercises, and tools for managing stress and emotion. Our providers often integrate family involvement and parent consultations to promote consistency and support outside of sessions. Every therapeutic relationship is tailored to the child’s personality and preferences, ensuring therapy feels comfortable, collaborative, and constructive.

Children ages 10–12 can access therapy through in-person appointments across the Greater Denver Area or through secure virtual sessions from anywhere in Colorado. Our child therapists are credentialed with Kaiser Permanente and many are in-network with additional major insurance providers. Whether you’re looking for emotional support, behavior-focused care, or early mental health intervention, Westside makes high-quality pediatric therapy convenient and approachable for families throughout Colorado.
