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.

Therapists based in Aurora offer services across a wide range of neighborhoods, including Southlands, Tallyn’s Reach, Seven Hills, Saddle Rock, Meadow Hills, Heather Gardens, Sable Ridge, and Murphy Creek. Nearby landmarks such as Cherry Creek State Park, Buckley Space Force Base, and Quincy Reservoir are easily accessible to many of our local offices. Online therapy sessions are also available to residents across Colorado.
 
Providers bring expertise in treating concerns like PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and couples’ issues. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or ongoing therapy, options include both welcoming in-person visits and secure virtual sessions.

Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) often reveals itself through repeated arguments, temper tantrums, refusal to follow rules, and frequent blaming of others. While many children display some defiant behavior as they grow, ODD becomes a concern when these patterns are intense, persistent, and disruptive. Parents may feel like they’re constantly walking on eggshells, unsure of how to manage daily conflicts without escalating tension. Teachers may observe significant classroom challenges, and friendships may also suffer due to impulsive or provocative behavior.

Westside therapists are experienced in supporting children and families navigating the challenges of ODD. Treatment may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help children better understand and regulate their emotions, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to improve communication and behavior management at home, or family systems approaches to rebuild trust and structure. Many therapists also incorporate play therapy or social skills training for younger clients. Our goal is to empower families with the tools and strategies needed to reduce conflict, build cooperation, and nurture emotional growth.

We offer in-person therapy at offices throughout the Greater Denver Area, including Broomfield, Englewood, Golden, Highlands Ranch, and Littleton, as well as secure online sessions across Colorado. All Westside Behavioral Care providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other major insurance plans. Getting help should feel accessible, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Adulthood often brings a complex mix of responsibilities, expectations, and internal challenges. Career shifts, family demands, health concerns, grief, and evolving personal identities can all contribute to emotional strain. Adults in this age group may experience anxiety, burnout, depression, or difficulty maintaining healthy relationships. Even those who appear to be functioning well on the surface may benefit from a space to process emotions, gain perspective, and build healthier coping mechanisms.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, our therapists collaborate with adult clients to create a treatment plan that fits their lifestyle, values, and goals. Evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and trauma-informed care are often used. Therapy may involve exploring personal patterns, working through long-standing emotional blocks, improving communication skills, or managing ongoing stressors with greater resilience and self-awareness.

Adults across Colorado can connect with Westside therapists either in person at locations throughout the Denver metro area or virtually through secure online sessions. All providers are contracted with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept additional insurance networks. Whether you’re seeking short-term support during a life change or long-term mental health care, Westside offers accessible, professional therapy designed to help adults navigate life with greater clarity and emotional strength.
