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.

Young adulthood is a time of immense transition, growth, and uncertainty. Many young adults experience challenges related to identity, career decisions, academic stress, relationships, and growing independence. This stage can bring feelings of anxiety, loneliness, self-doubt, or pressure to “have it all figured out.” Whether someone is navigating college life, entering the workforce, or managing changing family roles, it’s common to feel overwhelmed or stuck. Emotional challenges like depression, social anxiety, and low self-esteem often emerge during this phase, along with struggles around purpose, boundaries, and decision-making.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care work with young adults using compassionate, evidence-based approaches tailored to this unique life stage. Common treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe negative thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for navigating uncertainty, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and healthy relationship skills. Some therapists also incorporate strengths-based or solution-focused approaches, depending on the client’s needs. Therapy can be a supportive space to process big questions, learn effective coping strategies, and build confidence. New clients may want to ask about approaches that fit their values and goals, especially those that support identity development and resilience.

Therapy for young adults is accessible across Colorado. Westside Behavioral Care offers both in-person appointments at offices throughout the Greater Denver Area and secure online therapy statewide. All of our providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept a range of other major insurance plans. Whether you’re looking for support during college, navigating your first job, or figuring out what’s next, you don’t have to do it alone. Help is available and close to home.

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.
