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.

Trauma can stem from a wide range of experiences, such as abuse, accidents, loss, violence, or neglect, and its impact often lingers long after the event itself. People living with trauma may struggle with flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, nightmares, irritability, or hypervigilance. It can also manifest physically, affecting sleep, concentration, and overall well-being. For some, trauma may be tied to a single incident, while others may experience complex trauma from repeated exposure over time. No matter the source, trauma can deeply affect relationships, work, and daily life, often leaving individuals feeling isolated or stuck.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care provide trauma-informed treatment designed to help individuals process their experiences and regain a sense of safety and control. Common evidence-based approaches include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapies. These methods can help clients understand trauma’s effects on the mind and body, build coping skills, and begin healing in a supportive environment. Many therapists also incorporate grounding techniques and mindfulness to help manage symptoms in the moment. New clients may want to ask about EMDR or body-based approaches that have proven especially effective for trauma recovery.

Accessing care for trauma is easier than you might think. Westside offers flexible appointment options both in person across the Greater Denver Area and through secure online therapy for anyone located in Colorado. All of our trauma therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance providers to help make therapy more affordable and convenient for you.
