Welcome to Paris Psychologist

​

Hello, I’m Nicole Ricken, a bilingual Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist based in Paris, France. I specialize in integrative, trauma-sensitive, and evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults, as well as family therapy. Whether you're in Paris or beyond, I offer both in-person therapy (Paris 15th) and online therapy via a secure telehealth platform, making it easy to access support wherever you are.

​

As an expat myself, I deeply understand the unique challenges of adjusting to life in a new country, managing cultural differences, and navigating mental health concerns in an unfamiliar environment. I offer a safe, culturally sensitive space to help expats and international residents find the right support. Whether you're dealing with everyday stress or complex mental health issues, I’m here to help you feel heard and supported on your journey toward healing.

​

I offer therapy for a wide range of concerns, including:​

​

• Trauma and PTSD: Developmental trauma, including abuse (psychological, emotional, physical, and sexual), complex PTSD, and dissociative disorders.

• Neurodivergence and Learning Differences: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities (such as dyslexia and dyscalculia), and giftedness.

• Anxiety and Mood Disorders: Generalized anxiety, depression, panic disorder, OCD, and phobias.

• Grief and Illness: Bereavement, end-of-life care, and emotional challenges related to chronic illness.
