Dr James Nolan

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

Over 30 years as a Psychologist and Life Coach. I focus more on the present and future, creating the life you want.

About Me

With over 30 years as a psychologist and life coach, I guide individuals ready to shape their future. My approach focuses on the present, helping you explore practical steps to create the life you desire. This blend of extensive experience and forward-looking strategies is ideal if you seek clear direction and lasting change. I offer a collaborative space to focus on building your preferred future.

Approach

Sessions move quickly from where you are now to a clear, manageable plan for what comes next, with attention to pace and practicality. In Honolulu or online, I keep sessions focused and grounded, checking in on what fits your schedule and values so change feels doable. I pair short in-session experiments with simple between-session steps and lunchtime-style accountability to test identity shifts, handle transitions or navigate divorce-related decisions. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking steady, forward-moving change.
