Our Story

Breaking Barriers Institute is a clinician owned practice. Benjamin Smith moved to the Inland Empire while assisting an LA/South Bay clinic for 5 years that served individuals with severe problem behaviors. Benjamin noticed the need for more clinics in the Inland Empire that serviced this population and had a vision to assist a community with the skill set he acquired throughout the years. As Benjamin started this venture, he teamed up with another well verse clinician, Julelisa Beltran, to accomplish the goal of creating a practice that impacted individuals life in a positive way.  In doing so, they have partnered in training clinicians to meet the needs of clients and grow the field of ABA in an impactful way.
