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 Wheat Ridge offer care throughout neighborhoods like Fruitdale, Paramount Heights, Barths, Leppla Manor, Bel Aire, Olinger Gardens, and Lakeside. Local clients living near Clear Creek Trail, Wadsworth Boulevard, or near the I-70 corridor can access in-person therapy nearby, while virtual sessions are available statewide for added convenience.

Therapists in this area support clients through various life stages and challenges, including anxiety, post-traumatic stress, depression, grief, caregiver burnout, and family or relationship concerns. Services are tailored to individual goals with treatment plans that prioritize both emotional well-being and long-term progress.

Most Wheat Ridge providers accept Kaiser Permanente and a broad range of insurance plans. Clients may choose therapists based on availability, clinical focus, insurance participation, and session type to ensure the best fit for their needs.

Psychosis can affect a person’s ability to distinguish between what is real and what is not. It may appear as auditory or visual hallucinations, paranoid beliefs, or disorganized speech and behavior. These symptoms can emerge suddenly or gradually and often leave individuals feeling confused, scared, or ashamed. Family members may feel helpless or unsure of how to support their loved one. Psychosis commonly arises in late adolescence or early adulthood but can occur at any age. Early intervention is key to managing symptoms and reducing long-term impact.

Westside therapists use evidence-based therapies like CBT for Psychosis (CBTp), psychoeducation, ACT, and family-based interventions to help individuals regain a sense of control. Therapy may include building insight, managing distressing thoughts or voices, learning grounding techniques, and setting realistic goals. Some clients benefit from coordination with medical providers for integrated care, including medication support. Each treatment plan is personalized, with a compassionate focus on empowering clients in their recovery journey.

We offer in-person therapy at offices throughout the Greater Denver Area, including Golden, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, Arvada, and Englewood, 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.

Later adulthood often involves meaningful changes like retirement, physical health shifts, caregiving roles, or the loss of loved ones. These transitions can stir up feelings of grief, loneliness, anxiety, or even depression. At the same time, older adults bring decades of wisdom, experience, and insight to the therapeutic process. Many seek therapy not just for emotional pain, but for personal reflection, greater life satisfaction, or support in facing the uncertainties that aging can bring.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our therapists offer compassionate, individualized care designed for older adults. Sessions may include life review techniques, coping strategies for chronic illness, grief counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or simply a safe space to talk through current struggles. Providers often integrate family input when helpful, while respecting the autonomy and voice of the senior client throughout the therapeutic journey.

Older adults in Colorado can access care at Westside through local offices in the Greater Denver Area or from the comfort of home via HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions. All therapists are contracted with Kaiser Permanente, and many participate with other major insurance carriers. Whether you’re seeking emotional support, adjustment counseling, or a space for reflection, Westside is committed to helping seniors maintain mental wellness and live with purpose and peace of mind.
