About

Hello, my name is Rachel Aguilar and I am licensed in New York. Dignity, genuineness, and respect are values that are important to me and I strive to stay to true to these values in the environment I create for my clients.  It is a vulnerable thing to embark on this journey of self-discovery through the assessment process.  In honoring that vulnerability, I am committed to being authentic, transparent, and present with you in our interactions.  My goal is to create a safe space for you that honors your lived experience and promotes self-growth.

Education & Licensure
PsyD in Psychology from University at Albany, New York
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

What drew me to specializing in autism and neurodivergence is a passion for helping others, specifically those who have felt unseen or unheard.   As humans, we all have this deep seated desire to feel seen, to belong, and to feel validated for who we are.  I love that I am able to help people experience that validation through the autism evaluation process.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I show up to each session with compassion, curiosity, and with genuine care for my clients.  I work to understand your unique reason for seeking an evaluation and what you hope to take from this process, in order to prioritize your voice, lived experience and goals. My approach is non-judgmental and affirming, with an emphasizes strengths.
