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.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is a powerful treatment for individuals facing unwanted intrusive thoughts and ritualistic behaviors, most often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). People may feel compelled to wash repeatedly, check locks or appliances, count, avoid certain situations, or seek excessive reassurance to feel safe. These behaviors are typically driven by anxiety, guilt, or a fear of harm. While they may provide short-term relief, they often reinforce the cycle over time. The emotional toll can be intense, leading to shame, isolation, and significant disruption to one’s personal and professional life.

Westside Behavioral Care offers ERP therapy guided by skilled clinicians trained in cognitive-behavioral principles. ERP involves facing feared thoughts or situations (exposure) while resisting the urge to perform rituals (response prevention). This structured approach is proven to help the brain rewire its fear response, leading to reduced anxiety and improved functioning. Depending on your unique needs, ERP may be combined with other therapies like ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to build distress tolerance and strengthen values-based living. Our therapists work at your pace and provide consistent support throughout the process.

ERP therapy is available both in person at offices throughout the Greater Denver Area and online across the state of Colorado. All therapists at Westside Behavioral Care are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept additional major insurance providers. Whether you’re seeking local, face-to-face sessions or the flexibility of teletherapy, we make it easy to connect with a qualified ERP therapist who fits your needs and preferences.

Young children between the ages of 1 and 9 are going through a time of incredible emotional, social, and cognitive growth. As they develop language, form friendships, and learn about the world around them, they may also experience anxiety, behavioral struggles, emotional outbursts, sleep issues, or difficulty adjusting to changes at home or school. Life events like divorce, loss, trauma, or moves can be especially confusing and overwhelming at this stage. With the right support, these early years offer powerful opportunities for building resilience, self-confidence, and emotional understanding.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care offer warm, developmentally appropriate therapy that meets young children where they are. Many use play therapy, expressive arts, and story-based approaches to help children express feelings in nonverbal ways. Sessions often include parent involvement, parent-child interaction therapy, and family guidance to ensure consistent support at home. Our therapists are skilled at making sessions feel safe, engaging, and collaborative, using evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and behavior-focused coaching. Every child is unique and therapy is personalized to match their temperament, needs, and the concerns of their caregivers.

Westside offers flexible, accessible care for young children both in person throughout the Greater Denver Area and via secure telehealth anywhere in Colorado. Our licensed therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans. Whether you’re looking for early intervention, emotional support, or parenting strategies, our team is here to help your child and family thrive right from the start.
