Crisis Counseling

Crisis Counseling in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients

Westside Behavioral Care providers are not emergency crisis responders, but some therapists offer services for those who can wait at least 24 to 48 hours for a crisis appointment. If you or someone you know needs immediate assistance, please click here to view and contact a crisis line or organization for urgent support.

  

Life can turn upside down without warning — a loss, trauma, health diagnosis, or major transition may lead to overwhelming stress. Westside Behavioral Care provides access to licensed therapists who offer compassionate, stabilizing support during times of crisis.

 

Crisis counseling focuses on emotional regulation, safety planning, and short-term strategies to help you manage intense feelings and begin recovering your sense of control.

Our therapists work with adults, teens, and families facing grief, accidents, job loss, divorce, panic attacks, and more. The goal is to reduce immediate distress, assess risks, and create a plan for continued support. When needed, providers can also offer referrals to specialized or long-term care.

 

Appointments are available across the greater Denver area — including Littleton, Lakewood, Arvada, Aurora, and Boulder — or online throughout Colorado. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente and many accept other insurance types as well. You can browse available therapists by specialty, insurance, location, and age to find the right fit for your needs. For help scheduling, call (303) 986-4197 or email info@westsidebehavioral.com.
