FAQs and Details for Kaiser Members

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.

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.

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.

Details about Cancer Issues

Coping with cancer, whether you’re newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, in remission, or a caregiver, can bring intense emotional and psychological strain. It’s common to experience anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence, grief, or even identity shifts as life revolves around appointments, side effects, and uncertainty. These challenges can affect sleep, relationships, appetite, and day-to-day functioning. For many, cancer is not just a medical diagnosis, it’s an emotional journey that touches every part of life, including self-worth, future plans, and connection with others.

 

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care understand the complex emotional toll cancer can take, and many have specialized experience supporting individuals and families navigating these challenges. Our counselors may use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help manage negative thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to find meaning and strength in difficult moments, or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to ease physical and emotional distress. Supportive-expressive therapy and grief counseling are also available to process loss or existential fear. When reaching out, consider asking about your therapist’s experience with chronic illness or cancer-related care.

 

Westside offers flexible, compassionate therapy both in person throughout the Greater Denver Area and online across Colorado through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions. All our providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans to help make care more affordable. Whether you’re looking for individual therapy, family support, or someone to talk to during treatment, we’re here to help you navigate this journey with strength and support.
