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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and well-researched forms of talk therapy, known for its practical, solution-focused approach. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to issues like anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma responses, and low self-esteem. It’s a structured and collaborative process that encourages self-awareness, emotional insight, and real-world change. Whether you’re struggling with persistent worries, critical self-talk, mood swings, or avoidance behaviors, CBT offers tools to help you understand what’s driving those experiences and how to respond differently.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care use CBT to help clients connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sessions may include setting achievable goals, practicing cognitive reframing, learning new coping strategies, or building emotional regulation skills. For some concerns, CBT is integrated with other approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety-related conditions. New clients interested in CBT can ask their therapist about how structured the sessions will be, whether homework or journaling is part of the process, and how progress is typically tracked over time.

Westside Behavioral Care offers flexible, compassionate therapy both in person across the Greater Denver Area and online throughout the state of Colorado. All of our providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept additional major insurance plans. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or ongoing guidance through CBT, we’re here to help you take the next step with care that fits your life.
