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.

Therapists at Westside offering support for survivors of child abuse work with clients to address trauma, rebuild self-worth, and establish safety in relationships and self-expression.

Sessions are available both in person and online, depending on provider location and availability.

The 10–12 age range is a meaningful time of transition as children begin preparing for adolescence. At this stage, they’re exploring independence, shaping their identity, and learning to manage more complex social dynamics and academic expectations. It’s common for children in this group to experience challenges like anxiety, peer conflict, school stress, emotional regulation difficulties, or family transitions such as divorce or relocation. This is also a key developmental window for building healthy communication skills and internal resilience before entering the teen years.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care create a safe, encouraging environment for children to talk about what’s on their minds and learn practical coping skills. Sessions may include child-led conversations, CBT strategies, problem-solving exercises, and tools for managing stress and emotion. Our providers often integrate family involvement and parent consultations to promote consistency and support outside of sessions. Every therapeutic relationship is tailored to the child’s personality and preferences, ensuring therapy feels comfortable, collaborative, and constructive.

Children ages 10–12 can access therapy through in-person appointments across the Greater Denver Area or through secure virtual sessions from anywhere in Colorado. Our child therapists are credentialed with Kaiser Permanente and many are in-network with additional major insurance providers. Whether you’re looking for emotional support, behavior-focused care, or early mental health intervention, Westside makes high-quality pediatric therapy convenient and approachable for families throughout Colorado.
