Astrid Thomsen- New Path Counseling & Wellness

Experienced Therapy. Clarity. Lasting Healing.

I’m Astrid—Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor with more than 33 years of experience walking alongside adults as they navigate life’s hardest moments: trauma, complicated relationships, deep grief, painful transitions, and everything in between.

My approach is steady, grounded, and deeply human. In our work together, you’ll have a safe space to slow down, make sense of your experience, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been buried under stress or survival mode.

We’ll explore what’s weighing you down, strengthen what’s already working, and build practical tools that create real, lasting change.

Healing isn’t linear—and it’s not a to-do list. It’s a journey of discovery, insight, and reclaiming your voice, your clarity, and your power.
