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 supporting the Elizabeth area offer care for people living in and around neighborhoods such as Ponderosa Park, Running Brook Estates, Gold Creek Valley, and along County Road 17. Virtual therapy is an ideal option for clients in more remote or parts of Elbert County.

Common concerns include depression, anxiety, trauma, family stress, and emotional isolation. Therapy is designed to support both individual needs and family systems within rural communities.

Providers in the Elizabeth area may accept Kaiser Permanente and other major insurance carriers. You can explore therapists based on your comfort with in-person vs. virtual care, preferred schedule, and type of support you’re looking for.

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.

Young children between the ages of 1 and 9 are going through a time of incredible emotional, social, and cognitive growth. As they develop language, form friendships, and learn about the world around them, they may also experience anxiety, behavioral struggles, emotional outbursts, sleep issues, or difficulty adjusting to changes at home or school. Life events like divorce, loss, trauma, or moves can be especially confusing and overwhelming at this stage. With the right support, these early years offer powerful opportunities for building resilience, self-confidence, and emotional understanding.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care offer warm, developmentally appropriate therapy that meets young children where they are. Many use play therapy, expressive arts, and story-based approaches to help children express feelings in nonverbal ways. Sessions often include parent involvement, parent-child interaction therapy, and family guidance to ensure consistent support at home. Our therapists are skilled at making sessions feel safe, engaging, and collaborative, using evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and behavior-focused coaching. Every child is unique and therapy is personalized to match their temperament, needs, and the concerns of their caregivers.

Westside offers flexible, accessible care for young children both in person throughout the Greater Denver Area and via secure telehealth anywhere in Colorado. Our licensed therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans. Whether you’re looking for early intervention, emotional support, or parenting strategies, our team is here to help your child and family thrive right from the start.
