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.

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.

Low self-esteem can shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. It often shows up as persistent self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, or a sense of not being “good enough.” People struggling with self-esteem might avoid challenges, feel undeserving of love or success, or constantly compare themselves to others. These feelings can affect anyone, including children, teens, and adults alike, and may stem from past trauma, critical environments, social pressures, or difficult life experiences. Over time, low self-worth can hold people back from fully participating in life or reaching their goals.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care support clients in building lasting self-confidence through evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strengths-based therapy. These methods help individuals challenge negative thought patterns, develop self-compassion, and reconnect with their values and strengths. Therapy may include goal setting, mindfulness practices, and tools to build resilience and assertiveness. If you’re starting therapy for self-esteem concerns, consider asking your therapist about their experience helping clients rebuild self-worth and which approach they use for personal empowerment.

Getting help shouldn’t be difficult. Westside offers both in-person therapy across the Greater Denver Area and secure online therapy anywhere in Colorado. All our providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept other major insurance plans as well. We’re here to make access to compassionate, quality care as easy and affordable as possible, so you can take the next step with confidence.

Later adulthood often involves meaningful changes like retirement, physical health shifts, caregiving roles, or the loss of loved ones. These transitions can stir up feelings of grief, loneliness, anxiety, or even depression. At the same time, older adults bring decades of wisdom, experience, and insight to the therapeutic process. Many seek therapy not just for emotional pain, but for personal reflection, greater life satisfaction, or support in facing the uncertainties that aging can bring.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our therapists offer compassionate, individualized care designed for older adults. Sessions may include life review techniques, coping strategies for chronic illness, grief counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or simply a safe space to talk through current struggles. Providers often integrate family input when helpful, while respecting the autonomy and voice of the senior client throughout the therapeutic journey.

Older adults in Colorado can access care at Westside through local offices in the Greater Denver Area or from the comfort of home via HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions. All therapists are contracted with Kaiser Permanente, and many participate with other major insurance carriers. Whether you’re seeking emotional support, adjustment counseling, or a space for reflection, Westside is committed to helping seniors maintain mental wellness and live with purpose and peace of mind.
