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.

Challenges with parenting can emerge at any stage, from early childhood through the teenage years and beyond. Many parents struggle with setting consistent boundaries, managing emotional outbursts, resolving conflicts, or maintaining patience and connection under stress. These concerns may be amplified by co-parenting dynamics, mental health issues, or life transitions like divorce, relocation, or the birth of a new child. Even experienced caregivers sometimes need additional tools and support to navigate the evolving needs of their children.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care support parents using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), parent coaching, mindfulness-based strategies, and attachment-focused techniques. These interventions help parents better understand their children’s developmental needs, respond calmly and consistently to challenging behaviors, and foster strong, secure family relationships. Therapy may include learning communication skills, practicing emotion regulation, and working through parental stress or guilt, all with the goal of helping you feel more confident and connected in your parenting role.

Therapy for parenting skills is available both in person across the Greater Denver Area, including Aurora, Lakewood, Boulder, Wheat Ridge, and Centennial, and through secure online sessions for individuals and families throughout Colorado. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other major insurance providers. You can easily search for a therapist who fits your needs or contact our team for guidance with scheduling.

Teenagers experience rapid growth, not only physically but emotionally and mentally, as they move toward adulthood. The teen years often involve major shifts in identity, peer relationships, academic pressure, and emotional regulation. Common concerns during this time include anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, social isolation, academic burnout, family conflict, and navigating gender or sexual identity. With the right tools and guidance, teens can learn to process their experiences and develop the confidence and emotional skills they need for adulthood.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care work collaboratively with teens to create a judgment-free space where they feel heard and understood. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness strategies, or solution-focused approaches depending on the teen’s needs and preferences. Our therapists are skilled at building trust, balancing autonomy with support, and involving parents or caregivers when helpful, all while prioritizing the teen’s voice in their care.

Westside provides therapy for teens ages 13–18 both in person at locations across the Greater Denver Area and online anywhere in Colorado. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many work with additional major insurance providers. Whether your teen needs support with daily stressors or more complex emotional challenges, Westside offers compassionate, accessible care to help them grow and thrive during these critical years.
