James Paul Nole

The experience of trauma is one that feels like falling forever, feeling broken, or out-of-control. You often feel misunderstood by friends and family, isolated from others, disconnected from yourself, and lost. You feel overwhelmed, hopeless, and drained. And in spite of this, you are ready for a change. You want to reconnect with your true self, form and maintain deep and meaningful relationships with others, and regain a sense of empowerment and agency in your life again. Above all else, you are ready to take back your life, and move forward with a sense of purpose and meaning. James can help you find this.

James Nole is a psychotherapist, who practices from a relational psychodynamic framework. James has extensive training both in relational psychodynamic therapy, and trauma and dissociation through the ISSTD. His approach focuses on the importance of relationship, and creating a safe space to connect with all aspects and parts of one’s self, and explore new ways-of-Being. Through his work with complex trauma, James understands the importance of learning how to self-regulate, process emotions, and integrate traumatic memories into a new narrative. He looks at the whole of a person, and embraces the mind-body connection, and how we can heal through others. James believes that we are formed in relationships, we are harmed in relationships– but we heal in relationships.
