I learned so much.” The group was a great learning experience for me, especially learning about postpartum depression, the recharge activities, and the different communication styles. As a second-time mother, I was really grateful to have a space created for this stage of pregnancy. I loved the group format and would recommend this clinic to others. De verdad que tu programa es increíble, espero conocerte pronto.

As a caregiver and mother of a child with special needs, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate in this workshop led by Lizet Oviedo. The guidance, emotional support, and reassurance that taking time for myself does not make me a bad mother made a meaningful difference. I highly recommend this workshop to other caregivers.

“In this workshop with Lizet Oviedo, I learned to be more patient and practiced breathing exercises with my child to help her manage stress and emotions. The guidance and support I received made a real difference. Thank you so much!”

Receiving clinical supervision from Ms. Lizet Oviedo during my internship at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene was transformative. She combined strong clinical expertise with compassionate leadership, strengthening my skills and confidence. Even after graduation, she continued to mentor and support me as I transitioned into my first social work role. Her guidance had a lasting impact on my professional growth."
