The Aura Onyx Experience

Whether you are navigating the high-pressure streets of Chicago or the quiet complexities of your own inner world, we provide a premium, culturally-attuned environment.

We aren't here to just "talk" you through your week. We are here to help you Heal the Heavy so you have the capacity to Hold the Light.

About Aura Onyx Counseling & Wellness

Aura Onyx Counseling & Wellness was established by Co-Founders Pasquail Cook and Shuna Price to provide a sophisticated sanctuary for evidence-based mental health care. Our practice bridges the gap between clinical psychological intervention and the pursuit of authentic self-actualization. We believe that professional support should do more than manage symptoms; it should empower you to cultivate a profound sense of internal belonging and resilience.

Our Clinical Philosophy: The Dual-Lens Framework

The Aura Onyx vision is built upon a balanced, dual-lens framework. This approach allows us to integrate traditional clinical modalities with a holistic understanding of the human experience, ensuring that your treatment plan is as grounded as it is transformative.

  • The Onyx | Foundational Healing & Depth: This represents the "earth" of our practice—the deep, restorative work required to address trauma, manage acute stressors, and protect your mental well-being. It is the clinical space where we process core psychological needs and build the stability required for lasting change.

  • The Aura | Self-Actualization & Expansion: This represents the "light" of our practice—the affirmative process of identifying your values and manifesting your future potential. Once stability is achieved, we pivot toward growth, helping you bridge the gap between who you are today and who you want to become.

Professional Guidance for Your Journey

By synthesizing these two forces, we meet you at your current point of need with a structured, professional roadmap. Whether you require the Onyx depth of intensive clinical stabilization or the Aura expansion of personal development, our licensed practitioners provide the containment and expertise necessary for total transformation. At Aura Onyx, we don’t just address your concerns—we help you finally feel at home within yourself.

At Aura Onyx, we believe that true healing isn’t a one-dimensional journey. It requires two distinct forces working in harmony: the Onyx to ground you, and the Aura to help you expand.

Most traditional practices focus solely on the "problem." We focus on the person. We’ve cultivated a sanctuary where clinical expertise meets soulful elevation—a space designed specifically for those who are ready to stop just "getting by" and start truly thriving.
