As a clinician, he practices with low-income and uninsured children and families that experienced traumatic situations, marginalized chronic illnesses, or clinicians interested in serving these populations. He is independently licensed in the State of Connecticut. Dr. Aguilar earned his Ph.D. in Social Welfare and Master of Social Work from the University of Minnesota, and a Master of Public Health from Southern Connecticut State University.
