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 are available throughout Arvada and nearby areas, including neighborhoods like Scenic Heights, Allendale, and Rainbow Ridge, as well as bordering communities such as Wheat Ridge and Westminster. In-person therapy is offered across several Arvada zip codes, with online sessions available to individuals and families across the entire state of Colorado.

Providers bring specialized experience in issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting support, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re seeking short-term counseling or long-term support, sessions are available in welcoming office settings or through secure, HIPAA-compliant video therapy.

Many therapists in Arvada accept Kaiser Permanente and a wide range of other insurance plans. You can use the filters to refine your search by specialty, insurance participation, therapy format, or real-time availability.

Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming or constant, it can take a serious toll on your mental and physical well-being. Chronic stress may show up as irritability, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, or physical symptoms like headaches and muscle tension. It often stems from juggling multiple responsibilities at work, home, or school, and can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Left unmanaged, stress can impact relationships, job performance, and overall quality of life.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care help clients build personalized strategies to better manage stress and reclaim a sense of control. Evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions are often used to identify triggers, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Therapy may also include relaxation techniques, boundary-setting, and emotion regulation tools. If you’re exploring stress management support, you might ask your therapist about their approach to mind-body techniques or goal-setting for long-term balance.

You can access therapy for stress management both in person at convenient locations throughout the Greater Denver Area and via secure online sessions available anywhere in Colorado. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept additional major insurance plans. No matter your situation, compassionate and practical support is available to help you feel more grounded and empowered in daily life.

Emerging adulthood brings new freedoms and new stressors. Between college, career choices, evolving friendships, financial independence, and navigating personal identity, this stage can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Many young adults face challenges with anxiety, depression, life direction, relationship struggles, or lingering effects of childhood trauma. Others are simply seeking personal growth and emotional clarity as they begin defining who they are and what they want for their future.

At Westside Behavioral Care, our therapists tailor sessions to meet the evolving needs of young adults in this unique life phase. Therapy might focus on emotional regulation, coping with uncertainty, building self-esteem, or managing stress from school or work. We use a range of proven approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-informed methods, and mindfulness-based interventions. The therapeutic relationship emphasizes respect, collaboration, and creating a space where clients can openly explore thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

Young adults can access therapy through Westside either in person throughout the Greater Denver Area or through secure online sessions from anywhere in Colorado. Our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also contracted with other major insurance providers. Whether you’re starting college, entering the workforce, or working through personal transitions, our team is here to support your emotional well-being and long-term growth.
