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.

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.

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.
