FAQs and Details for Kaiser Members
Do you accept Kaiser insurance for therapy in Denver?
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.
Do I need a referral from Kaiser to start therapy?
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.
Can I choose my therapist at Westside Behavioral Care?
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 Drug Abuse / Substance Abuse
Substance abuse, also referred to as substance use disorder, is a chronic pattern of using drugs or alcohol in a way that negatively affects your life. It can impact your work, relationships, physical health, and emotional well-being. You might find yourself using more than intended, struggling to stop, or relying on substances to manage stress or escape painful emotions. People from all walks of life can experience this struggle. It’s more common than you think, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
At Westside Behavioral Care, our therapists work collaboratively with you to understand what’s driving your substance use and develop a personalized treatment plan. Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to recognize and change unhelpful patterns, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to regulate emotions and improve impulse control. For those with trauma histories, EMDR can help process painful memories. We also incorporate mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention techniques to help you build confidence and move toward long-term healing and stability.
We offer therapy both in person throughout the Greater Denver Area, including Aurora, Arvada, Lakewood, Boulder, and Littleton, and online across Colorado. All Westside therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also contracted with other insurance providers to make care more accessible. No matter where you are in your recovery journey, help is available, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
