Luz Oviedo, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, entrepreneur, clinical supervisor, and mentor dedicated to helping individuals and professionals create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. She believes that every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and thrive when given the right support, guidance, and opportunities. Her mission is to empower others to discover their purpose, build confidence, and create lives they are genuinely proud of.

​

Born in Guatemala and raised in New York after immigrating to the United States at the age of three, Luz developed a deep appreciation for resilience, perseverance, and the transformative power of education. She knew by the age of fifteen that she wanted to dedicate her life to helping others, a calling that ultimately led her to earn her degree from Stony Brook University and build a career centered on service, leadership, and empowerment.

​

As the Founder and Clinical Director of Social Butterflies Psychotherapy, Luz has created a thriving practice focused not only on providing high-quality mental health services but also on developing the next generation of clinicians. She is passionate about mentoring new graduates, interns, and early-career therapists, helping them strengthen their clinical skills while also navigating the realities of entrepreneurship and private practice ownership. Through her leadership, supervision, and consultation, she has supported numerous clinicians in launching, growing, and sustaining successful practices of their own.

​

Throughout her career, Luz has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families, helping them navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, and personal growth. While her commitment to supporting youth remains a cornerstone of her work, she has found equal fulfillment in guiding fellow professionals toward confidence, competence, and success in their careers.

​

Beyond her clinical work, Luz is a strong advocate for personal development, leadership, and lifelong learning. She believes that self-confidence, education, emotional wellness, and inner peace are among the greatest gifts we can cultivate within ourselves and pass on to future generations. Her work extends beyond therapy into coaching, mentorship, and professional development, where she continues to inspire others to pursue their goals with clarity and courage.

​

Outside of her professional life, Luz is a proud mother of two amazing children who bring immense joy, laughter, and purpose to her life. She is also a devoted fur mom to her beloved Goldendoodle, Dixie Rose, and 2 of the most adorable Cats who keeps life filled with cuddles, adventure, and unconditional love. She enjoys traveling, staying connected to her Guatemalan roots and family in Central America, spending quality time with her children, maintaining an active lifestyle, learning new things, and connecting with inspiring people.

​

At the heart of everything she does is a simple yet powerful belief: when people are equipped with the right tools, support, and confidence, they can transform not only their own lives but the lives of those around them. Through her work as a therapist, mentor, leader, and entrepreneur, Luz remains committed to helping others realize their potential and become the best version of themselves.
