About Us

Our Mission

At Auravia, we believe that human beings are able to heal and thrive when they are viewed, treated, and nurtured as an entire entity— mind, body and soul. An individual is more than their thoughts, their body, or struggles. The counselors here at Auravia act with the intention of providing a guiding light (aura) on the path (via) to holistic wellness.

We work to help our clients become aware of each aspect of their path— emotions, thoughts, and surroundings. By gaining an awareness of the self, in its entirety, they are able to alter their thoughts, physiology, language, and behaviors in a way that promotes progress and enhances quality of life.
