Westside Behavioral Care offers one of Colorado’s largest networks of licensed mental health providers, including LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, psychologists (PsyD/PhDs), and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs), many of whom are dedicated to serving Kaiser Permanente members statewide.

Established in 1998, our mission has always been to make therapy more accessible by simplifying the appointment scheduling process and removing common barriers to care. Today, our 350+ providers serve thousands of patients each year, offering compassionate, evidence-based counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and more.

With flexible in-person availability throughout Metro Denver and secure Telehealth sessions across all of Colorado, we provide convenient access to care when and where it’s needed most. Unlike national teletherapy platforms, our providers live and work in your local communities, allowing for more personalized, locally-informed treatment. We also support you from the start- our team verifies your insurance benefits, helps navigate any required Kaiser referrals, and matches you with a provider who fits your clinical needs, preferences, and schedule.

We prioritize personalized care by matching each patient with a provider based on their clinical needs, insurance plan (including Kaiser Permanente), preferred therapy format (in-person or virtual), and availability.
