Terminal Illness
Therapists In Denver And Nearby Specializing In Terminal Illness
Facing a terminal illness can bring a wave of emotional, spiritual, and existential questions for both patients and their loved ones. At Westside Behavioral Care, we offer specialized therapy for individuals navigating end-of-life experiences, as well as for partners, caregivers, and family members coping with anticipatory grief, fear, and uncertainty.
Therapy may focus on processing complex emotions such as sadness, anxiety, anger, regret, or unresolved family dynamics. Our clinicians offer a safe and supportive space to explore meaning, dignity, legacy, and personal values during a deeply vulnerable time. Whether you are newly diagnosed, nearing the end of life, or supporting someone through this process, you don’t have to face it alone.
Terminal illness affects more than the physical body, it reaches into identity, relationships, and every layer of emotional life. Therapy offers room to explore grief, make peace with change, and find comfort in connection. For families and caregivers, this may include support for anticipatory loss, burnout, or navigating complex medical decisions with compassion and clarity. Our therapists use person-centered, trauma-informed, and existential approaches to meet each client where they are. Sessions often draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), supportive grief counseling, or legacy-focused therapy designed to help individuals reflect on their lives and preserve meaningful relationships. Appointments are available in person across the Greater Denver Area and online throughout Colorado. All Westside Behavioral Care providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept other major insurance plans. You can browse therapists by specialty, location, insurance, or age or call (303) 986-4197 or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal support in finding the right provider.
