Westside’s providers serve thousands of patients a year by providing supportive counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and more. Providers offer in-person sessions across the Greater Denver Area including Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Boulder, Arvada, and online.

For over 27 years, we’ve focused on making the appointment scheduling process as easy and convenient as possible. Our friendly receptionists are also available Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm MST at (303) 986-4197 to help you schedule an appointment or answer your questions.

Westside therapists who work with chronic illness focus on emotional resilience, grief, identity shifts, and the day-to-day impact of ongoing medical conditions.

Therapy sessions may be available in person or via secure telehealth depending on provider location.

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.
