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. 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. Our patient-focused approach is designed to give Kaiser members in Colorado a stress-free, positive experience.

Grief affects people in many different ways and can emerge after the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, the end of a relationship, or a life-altering diagnosis. While grief is a natural process, it can sometimes feel overwhelming or isolating. People often experience waves of sadness, anger, guilt, or even numbness. For some, these emotions linger and affect their ability to function at home, work, or in relationships. Others may feel stuck, unsure how to cope or move forward after a major loss.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care offer gentle, evidence-based support for individuals experiencing grief. Modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy can help clients process their emotions, find meaning in their loss, and begin healing. Our providers tailor their approach to each person’s unique needs and timeline, offering validation, empathy, and practical tools to navigate grief. The goal of grief counseling isn’t to “get over” the loss, but to help clients move forward with greater resilience and clarity.

Grief counseling is available in person throughout the Greater Denver Area, including Thornton, Centennial, Wheat Ridge, Golden, and Broomfield, or through secure online therapy across Colorado. All Westside therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept additional insurance providers. You can easily search by specialty, location, or insurance to find a therapist who’s right for you.

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. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many work with additional major insurance providers. 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.
