F.I.R.E

Welcome

Welcome to F.I.R.E. Igniting Lives, LLC owned by Rev. Dr. Gimel Rogers. Dr. Rogers is an ordained elder, licensed psychologist, and is Board Certified in Clinical Psychology. Dr. Rogers offers clinical, forensic, consultative, research, and training services in the areas of diversity, equity, spiritual restoration, and trauma. Dr. Rogers’ mantra is “Change your mind and your whole world changes.” Therefore, as you click through the website, see yourself in the logo, which is a phoenix — a symbol of liberation and transformation. The well known inspirational phrase "Rises life a Phoenix from the Ashes" is often used to describe someone who has suffered hardship or trouble and begins to rebuild their life to be better than before. Remember, whatever the hardship or trouble is, you can rebuild; so rise like a phoenix and be a fearless individual resistant to entrapment, F.I.R.E.

 

In this life, people face many crises and unfortunately most do not live in a community with adequate support or prevalent examples of perseverance. Through F.I.R.E., individuals will be awakened to their purpose via encouragement, motivation, transformation and empowerment, which will enable each person to push through their setbacks and roadblocks and avoid being deflated and discouraged. Ultimately, each person will take away an understanding that they too are adept, capable, insightful life-changers, and mountain-movers.

Fearless Individuals Resistant to Entrapment was birth from observing how adolescences and young adulthood can be a very difficult time of transition and metamorphosis, and sometimes during this period in life, a person can become stuck or entrapped. At F.I.R.E. we want to provide each person through our various services to learn how to push through glass ceilings and not be entrapped. Whether the entrapment is low self-esteem, peer pressure, mental or physical sickness, lack of family and friends support, educational disparities, financial hardships, stress management while juggling multiple obligations, or figuring out if college or graduate school is the best next step. 

F.I.R.E., Fearless Individuals Resistant to Entrapment, was created to help motivate people to become strong, capable, and adept life-changers and mountain-movers, by coaching them to break all their ceilings and reach new levels in life!

I learned that cyber bullying can be even worst than bullying and Ms. Rogers made me think about my actions and my moral compass.
