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.

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.

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.
