About Us

We are Fran Herruzo and Marcel Gratacós, licensed psychologists. We see people in Ripollet, in Barcelona and online, in Spanish, Catalan and English.

The story of psicoaction

psicoaction was founded in 2014, a few months after Fran and Marcel graduated in Psychology. They worked well together and wanted to make it a joint project. For three years they rented rooms by the hour and built up their first cases. In 2017 they opened their first centre in Ripollet and, months later, moved to the current one on Carrer Cervantes.

Today we are one of the leading psychology centres in Ripollet and the surrounding area. We work in different ways with universities and sports clubs: teaching, placement tutoring, training and work with their teams.
