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.

Life can shift in an instant, and when it does, crisis counseling offers a safe place to find support and clarity. A crisis might be sparked by a sudden loss, traumatic event, major relationship change, mental health emergency, or overwhelming stress. In these moments, it’s common to feel confused, panicked, numb, or unsure of what to do next. Everyone responds to crisis differently. Some people shut down emotionally, while others may feel intensely anxious, irritable, or hopeless. Crisis counseling provides immediate emotional support and guidance when things feel unmanageable or uncertain.

At Westside Behavioral Care, therapists trained in crisis intervention work quickly to stabilize emotions, identify urgent needs, and begin the path toward healing. Therapy sessions may draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care practices. The focus is often on emotional regulation, safety planning, and short-term coping strategies, with the option to transition into longer-term therapy if needed. Some therapists may also incorporate mindfulness, grounding exercises, or problem-solving techniques. Clients in crisis may want to ask how quickly sessions can begin and what kind of short-term or ongoing support is available.

Compassionate, timely help is available when you need it most. Westside Behavioral Care offers in-person therapy across the Greater Denver Area, as well as secure online sessions for individuals located anywhere in Colorado. All of our providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans. If you’re facing a mental health crisis or navigating a difficult turning point, you don’t have to go through it alone. Our team is here to help you regain stability and support.
