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 Gender Identity
Gender identity concerns may emerge at any age and are often accompanied by feelings of confusion, distress, fear of rejection, or isolation. Individuals exploring gender identity may experience gender dysphoria, internalized stigma, or challenges related to family dynamics, peer relationships, or workplace inclusion. These concerns can intersect with anxiety, depression, or trauma, and are often shaped by broader social and cultural pressures. Whether someone is questioning their identity, considering transition, or seeking support in navigating daily life, compassionate care is essential.
Westside Behavioral Care therapists offer affirming, individualized treatment for people navigating gender identity concerns. Our providers are trained in inclusive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR. Therapy may focus on identity exploration, managing dysphoria, increasing self-acceptance, processing past trauma, or preparing for social and medical transitions. Therapists can also assist with building coping strategies for dealing with discrimination or minority stress. Wherever you are in your journey, our goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
We offer flexible access to care, with appointments available in person throughout the Greater Denver Area, including Lakewood, Westminster, Centennial, Golden, and Thornton, as well as via secure online therapy across Colorado. All Westside therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance providers. Finding an affirming, knowledgeable therapist is just a few clicks away.
