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.

Experiencing or witnessing child abuse, whether physical, emotional, sexual, or neglect, can leave deep, lasting emotional wounds. Survivors may carry symptoms of trauma well into adulthood, including anxiety, trust issues, flashbacks, low self-esteem, difficulty with relationships, or unexplained emotional outbursts. For children, signs can include withdrawal, behavioral challenges, fearfulness, or regression in developmental milestones. Each person’s response is unique, but the impact often reaches far beyond the original event and into daily life, family dynamics, and future self-worth.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care are trained to support both child survivors and adults processing childhood abuse. Our providers may use evidence-based approaches like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Play Therapy, or Attachment-Based Therapy to help individuals rebuild safety, process painful memories, and begin healing. Therapy often includes gentle, age-appropriate techniques for children, as well as structured support for parents or caregivers. When reaching out, new clients may want to ask about a therapist’s experience working with abuse survivors, trauma-informed care, or child development expertise.

Care is available both in person across the Greater Denver Area and online throughout Colorado via secure, confidential teletherapy. All Westside Behavioral Care providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans to help reduce financial barriers. Whether you’re seeking support for your child, yourself, or your family, our team is here to help you take the next step toward safety and healing.
