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.

Members can expect quick access to care (often in as little as 48 hours) without worrying about prior authorizations or referrals. Nearly all Westside therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, meaning you get the care you need at in-network rates. 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.

Depression is more than just feeling down; it’s a deep, persistent struggle that can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. It often shows up as fatigue, low motivation, trouble concentrating, sleep issues, appetite changes, or a sense of hopelessness. People with depression might withdraw from relationships, lose interest in hobbies, or feel emotionally numb. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or circumstance, and may include subtypes like major depression, seasonal affective disorder, or postpartum depression.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care use a variety of proven approaches to help clients manage and recover from depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is especially effective, helping clients recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Other common modalities include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and mindfulness-based practices. Therapy may also involve learning emotional regulation skills, setting achievable goals, and building a sense of meaning and connection. New clients may want to ask their therapist about treatment options tailored to their specific symptoms and goals.

Getting help for depression should be straightforward and accessible. Westside Behavioral Care offers appointments both in person throughout the Greater Denver Area and online anywhere in Colorado through secure video sessions. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept other major insurance plans as well. Reaching out is the first step toward feeling better, and we’re here to help you take it.

Teenagers experience rapid growth, not only physically but emotionally and mentally, as they move toward adulthood. The teen years often involve major shifts in identity, peer relationships, academic pressure, and emotional regulation. Common concerns during this time include anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, social isolation, academic burnout, family conflict, and navigating gender or sexual identity. With the right tools and guidance, teens can learn to process their experiences and develop the confidence and emotional skills they need for adulthood.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care work collaboratively with teens to create a judgment-free space where they feel heard and understood. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness strategies, or solution-focused approaches depending on the teen’s needs and preferences. Our therapists are skilled at building trust, balancing autonomy with support, and involving parents or caregivers when helpful, all while prioritizing the teen’s voice in their care.

Westside provides therapy for teens ages 13–18 both in person at locations across the Greater Denver Area and online anywhere in Colorado. Whether your teen needs support with daily stressors or more complex emotional challenges, Westside offers compassionate, accessible care to help them grow and thrive during these critical years.
