FAQs and Details for Kaiser Members
Do you accept Kaiser insurance for therapy in Denver?
Yes! Nearly all of our therapists accept Kaiser Permanente insurance, and other insurance plans, for mental health services in Colorado. We offer in-person and telehealth therapy sessions. To schedule an appointment or verify coverage, call 303-986-4197 or visit our Kaiser providers page.
Do I need a referral from Kaiser to start therapy?
Our in-network providers do not require a referral or prior authorization to see Kaiser Permanente patients with Colorado-based plans. Patients with out-of-state plans and some psychiatric services may require a prior authorization. If one is needed, our team can request one on your behalf to make the process as easy as possible for you. If you have any questions about your coverage, please contact our team at info@westsidebehavioral.com for assistance.
Can I choose my therapist at Westside Behavioral Care?
Of course! You can browse our Kaiser provider profiles accepting new patients here. Our team is also available to help you find a therapist who meets your needs, insurance, and location. Feel free to call 303-986-4197 for phone assistance, email us at info@westsidebehavioral.com, or submit a contact form to connect with us.
In-Network For Kaiser Permanente Insurance
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.
Details about Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol abuse can affect people from all walks of life, often beginning subtly before becoming disruptive to daily functioning. Individuals struggling with alcohol misuse may find it hard to control their drinking, feel guilt or shame about their behavior, or continue drinking despite harmful consequences to their relationships, work, or health. It can also involve binge drinking, dependency, or using alcohol to manage stress, trauma, or emotional pain. The impacts can be emotional, physical, and deeply isolating, but with support, change is possible.
Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care offer compassionate, evidence-based treatment for alcohol abuse tailored to each client’s journey. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is commonly used to address the underlying thought patterns that contribute to addictive behaviors, while Motivational Interviewing (MI) can help build readiness for change. Some therapists also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for values-driven recovery. For those with past trauma, EMDR may be a helpful adjunct. Clients are encouraged to ask about approaches that align with their personal goals and whether therapy can be coordinated with medical or group support when needed.
Getting help for alcohol abuse is more accessible than many people realize. Westside Behavioral Care offers flexible appointments both in person across the Greater Denver Area and through secure online therapy available anywhere in Colorado. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance providers. Support is within reach, no matter where you are in your recovery journey.
