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.

Lakewood-area therapists provide care throughout neighborhoods including Green Mountain, Applewood, Belmar, Bear Creek, Eiber, Westgate, and Kendrick Lake. In-person sessions are available near major landmarks such as the Denver Federal Center, Belmar Park, and along Kipling or Wadsworth, with online therapy accessible statewide.

Providers support individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, grief, stress, and relationship conflict. Services are available for a wide range of life stages and emotional needs, from early adulthood through family transitions and beyond.

Most Lakewood therapists accept Kaiser Permanente and other well-known insurance plans. Clients can select a provider based on session format, clinical focus, schedule flexibility, and insurance coverage to find the best therapeutic match.

Adults living with terminal illness often experience a profound shift in their inner world. In addition to managing physical symptoms, many face waves of emotional complexity, from grief and fear to guilt, frustration, or spiritual questioning. There may be feelings of isolation, unfinished conversations, or anxiety about how loved ones will cope. For some, this time invites reflection, reconnection, and meaning-making; for others, it brings uncertainty and emotional pain that can be difficult to hold alone.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care provide gentle, attuned support for individuals facing life-limiting diagnoses. We work to create a safe, grounded space where clients can express thoughts they may not feel comfortable sharing elsewhere, including fears of death, worries about their family, or unresolved relational or spiritual concerns. Therapy may also focus on legacy projects, values-based decisions, life review, or dignity-centered care planning. Sessions are always client-led and tailored to emotional readiness and medical context.

Family members and caregivers often seek therapy during this time as well. They may be balancing anticipatory grief, caregiving exhaustion, or emotional conflict, all while trying to support someone they love. Counseling can help families navigate communication, set boundaries, and find small moments of emotional stability amid uncertainty. Whether you are a patient or part of the support system, therapy provides a place to slow down, feel seen, and receive care.

We offer both in-person appointments at offices across the Greater Denver Area and online sessions throughout Colorado. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept other insurance providers. If you or someone close to you is facing terminal illness, our team is here to provide compassionate, grounded support through every step of the journey.

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.
