Whether you’re navigating gender identity, coming out, relationship dynamics, trauma, or day-to-day stress, our therapists create safe spaces for reflection and support. Many of our providers also offer support for intersectional challenges related to race, disability, faith, and healthcare access.
 
FREE RESOURCE: Colorado Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)
Colorado has launched the Colorado Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) which offers protections for reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare workers and their patients. The program offers a legal substitute address and mail forwarding. Government agencies must accept the substitute address in place of your actual home address to protect personal safety. Additional details: https://dcs.colorado.gov/acp

 
Appointments are available in person throughout the Greater Denver Area or via online therapy statewide. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other insurance plans. You can browse available therapists by specialty, insurance, location, and age to find the right fit for your needs. You can also call us at (303) 986-4197 or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal assistance scheduling your first session.
