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.

Accessing care in Denver

Therapists offering care throughout Denver serve neighborhoods including Capitol Hill, Cherry Creek, Highlands, Washington Park, Sloan’s Lake, Central Park, Baker, Park Hill, and Five Points. Whether you’re near downtown Denver, commuting through the Denver Tech Center, or located along Colorado Boulevard, therapy is available in person or online throughout the region.

 

Denver providers work with individuals, couples, and families to address concerns such as trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and communication challenges. Many therapists offer support tailored to various life stages, cultural backgrounds, and relationship dynamics.

Details about Suicide Prevention

Suicidal thoughts can arise from overwhelming pain, emotional numbness, or a belief that things won’t improve. People experiencing these thoughts may also struggle with depression, trauma, anxiety, or feelings of worthlessness. These challenges often impact daily functioning, relationships, and physical health. Individuals of all ages, including teens, adults, and seniors, may be affected, often suffering in silence. If you or someone you love is facing these feelings, help is available.

 

Westside Behavioral Care offers compassionate, evidence-based therapy to support individuals in crisis and help prevent suicide. Our therapists are trained in approaches such as DBT, CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care, and many incorporate safety planning, emotional regulation skills, and mindfulness strategies into treatment. We provide an empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts safely, build emotional strength, and regain a sense of connection and purpose. Healing is possible and we’re here to walk that path with you.

 

We offer in-person therapy at offices throughout the Greater Denver Area, including Aurora, Broomfield, Centennial, Golden, and Littleton, 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.

Working with Elders

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.
