People struggle to address their mental health issues because they find it hard to get a psychologist that takes their special time to understand where you come from and envision your journey after you have healed. Astrid Piet is that psychologist. She is devoted in what she does, and as a result she is able to connect you with your spiritual side to understand your own psychology and journey. She does this in a subtle way that you do not focus on your diagnosis, but the root of your struggle(s). I was able to connect with Astrid because she is warm, caring and patient. Her smile whenever you walk into her space is like a hug you never thought you needed. She was able to help me navigate through life, and unlock hope and faith in me. When I firstly met Astrid I was depressed, suicidal, and unable to express myself and create boundaries. I did not know how capable I was and the power I had to fight for my brain and healing. She helped me through that. She is passionate about what she does and my favourite thing about her is she is more than a safe space but a healer.
Today, I travel by myself, comfortable being alone, doing my dream job, able to build healthy relationships and make my bed and a cup of coffee every morning, which I was never able to do. This is possible because of Astrid. We were able to work together to rebirth this new me. Thank you Astrid. You are amazing and I wish nothing but the best for you.

It is with the utmost gratitude and respect that we write this letter of recommendation for Astrid Piet. Over the course of our journey, she has been an incredible source of guidance, compassion, and wisdom, helping us navigate through some of the most challenging aspects of our lives.
Our journey began with individual struggles with depression and anxiety, which were impacting not only our personal well-being but also our marriage. From the very first session, Astrid provided a safe, non-judgmental space where we felt heard, understood, and supported. Through her empathetic approach, insightful guidance, and practical strategies, we were able to address our personal challenges while strengthening our relationship.
She spoke into our marriage with a depth of understanding that helped us communicate more effectively, foster mutual respect, and build a stronger foundation. Astrid’s ability to balance empathy with actionable solutions was pivotal in helping us reframe our perspectives and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Beyond the therapy sessions, her positive influence has significantly impacted our lives. We now approach life’s challenges with greater resilience, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose. We wholeheartedly recommend Astrid Piet to anyone seeking compassionate and transformative therapeutic support.
