Taking Time For Me: A Personal Coaching Opportunity with Dr. Dorothy Firman

Dr. Firman’s Coaching is designed to promote autonomy, better communication skills, self-esteem, and clarity about life’s purpose, meaning and values. Dr. Firman has been a spiritually-oriented psychotherapist in private practice for over twenty-five years and is now, for the first time, offering her coaching and educational process through this web site to women interested in moving deeper into the understanding of who they are and who they want to be. (Alternate coaching arrangements can be made for men, couples or mother/daughter pairs working together.)

The coaching process involves a 10 session commitment that starts with the articulation of specific goals by the traveler (client), moves through a variety of exercises, conversations, and “homework” assignments, and ends with a plan in progress for meeting goals and continuing the process of personal and spiritual growth that has begun in the coaching sessions.

“Taking Time For Me” requires a commitment by the traveler of approximately 30 hours, over a five to ten week period. By that time, desired changes will begin to become habits, plans and strategies that have momentum and create a sense of accomplishment and reward by their very action. These changes become the basis for lifestyle improvement, increase of personal well being and a sense of empowerment.

The cost of “Taking Time For Me” is $800.00 and includes ten 30 minute sessions with Dr. Firman (via email or phone or both), as well as Dr. Firman’s construction of personal exercises and homework assignments for the traveler and e-mail responses to those. Some scholarships may be available. Payment can be made via check or through our secure server on The Synthesis Center site
