“I want IBWHC to offer a seamless process where clients feel like their needs are being met from the very beginning of their therapeutic journey.”
— Dr. Mary Perleoni

The It Begins Within Healing Center practice is built on a belief in a strengths-based approach to mental health. We set you up for success by working with therapeutic approaches that play to your personal strengths. This paves the way for better engagement in your own healing work and a development of the tools needed to break old patterns.

    1. You didn’t find the right fit with a therapist.

    2. You were not engaging in the therapy or were unable to have consistent therapy sessions.

    3. You were repeating the same pattern of living over and over and ending up with the same results.

    1. Self-awareness around their strengths (we can help you figure those out).

    2. An open-mindedness to suggestions that may be pivotal in helping them heal and grow.

    3. A commitment to the work of consistent therapy sessions.

Why we don’t accept medical insurance


We want to remove barriers to our clients’ healing wherever we can. One common barrier comes from working with insurance. Insurance agencies put parameters around mental health care that can make it harder for a person to work through a mental health issue. Limits to a number of sessions and types of therapies we can use, plus forcing therapists into large caseloads can be detrimental to the client’s healing process.

By not taking insurance we can provide our clients with the highest level of mental health care we can.
