FAQs and Details for Kaiser Members

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.

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.

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.

In-Network For Kaiser Permanente Insurance

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.

Details about Self-Esteem

Low self-esteem can shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. It often shows up as persistent self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, or a sense of not being “good enough.” People struggling with self-esteem might avoid challenges, feel undeserving of love or success, or constantly compare themselves to others. These feelings can affect anyone, including children, teens, and adults alike, and may stem from past trauma, critical environments, social pressures, or difficult life experiences. Over time, low self-worth can hold people back from fully participating in life or reaching their goals.

 

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care support clients in building lasting self-confidence through evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strengths-based therapy. These methods help individuals challenge negative thought patterns, develop self-compassion, and reconnect with their values and strengths. Therapy may include goal setting, mindfulness practices, and tools to build resilience and assertiveness. If you’re starting therapy for self-esteem concerns, consider asking your therapist about their experience helping clients rebuild self-worth and which approach they use for personal empowerment.

 

Getting help shouldn’t be difficult. Westside offers both in-person therapy across the Greater Denver Area and secure online therapy anywhere in Colorado. All our providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept other major insurance plans as well. We’re here to make access to compassionate, quality care as easy and affordable as possible, so you can take the next step with confidence.

Working with Adults

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.
