FAQs and Details for Kaiser Members
Do you accept Kaiser insurance for therapy in Denver?
Yes! Nearly all of our therapists accept Kaiser Permanente insurance, and other insurance plans, for mental health services in Colorado. We offer in-person and telehealth therapy sessions. To schedule an appointment or verify coverage, call 303-986-4197 or visit our Kaiser providers page.
Do I need a referral from Kaiser to start therapy?
Our in-network providers do not require a referral or prior authorization to see Kaiser Permanente patients with Colorado-based plans. Patients with out-of-state plans and some psychiatric services may require a prior authorization. If one is needed, our team can request one on your behalf to make the process as easy as possible for you. If you have any questions about your coverage, please contact our team at info@westsidebehavioral.com for assistance.
Can I choose my therapist at Westside Behavioral Care?
Of course! You can browse our Kaiser provider profiles accepting new patients here. Our team is also available to help you find a therapist who meets your needs, insurance, and location. Feel free to call 303-986-4197 for phone assistance, email us at info@westsidebehavioral.com, or submit a contact form to connect with us.

Westside Behavioral Care offers one of Colorado’s largest networks of mental health providers (LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, PsyD/PhDs, PMHNPs, etc) dedicated to Kaiser Permanente patients statewide. Established in 1998 with the mission of making appointment scheduling as easy and convenient as possible, Westside’s licensed therapists serve thousands of patients a year by providing supportive counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and more. Appointments are available through in-person sessions across the Denver metro area (Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Boulder, Arvada, etc.) and convenient online therapy statewide.
Thanks to our partnership with Kaiser, members can expect quick access to care (often in as little as 48 hours) without worrying about prior authorizations or referrals.

Our team will verify your benefits and share them with your therapist ahead of your first appointment so you’re fully informed going into your first session.
True to our mission, we make scheduling easy for everyone. You can choose your preferred therapist by using our scheduling tool available 24/7, call our friendly receptionists (available Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm MST) at (303) 986-4197, complete one of the many contact forms on our website, or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal assistance.

Details about Couples Counseling
Couple’s counseling is designed to support partners through challenges both big and small. Some couples seek therapy during times of crisis, such as infidelity, separation, or major life changes, while others are looking to deepen their connection, improve communication, or navigate ongoing differences. Common concerns may include unresolved conflict, lack of intimacy, parenting stress, or feelings of growing apart. Every relationship experiences tension at times, but when issues begin to impact emotional closeness, trust, or day-to-day functioning, counseling can offer a path forward.
Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care approach couple’s counseling with warmth, structure, and evidence-based strategies. Many draw from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help couples identify patterns, reduce reactivity, and strengthen their emotional bond. Sessions are tailored to the couple’s goals, whether that’s rebuilding after a rupture, strengthening intimacy, or learning healthier ways to manage conflict. Some therapists may include guided exercises or communication tools to practice between sessions. New clients often find it helpful to ask about the therapist’s approach to balancing each partner’s voice and the overall structure of couples therapy.
Getting started with couples therapy is straightforward and flexible. Westside Behavioral Care offers in-person sessions across the Greater Denver Area as well as secure online therapy for couples throughout Colorado. All of our couples counselors are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept additional major insurance plans. Whether you’re facing relationship stress or simply seeking to grow together, compassionate, professional support is available when you need it.
