Pastoral Counseling:
an alternative to mainstream therapy
*This is your opportunity to come and talk to someone without
judgment of any kind.  
*Receive blunt responses with counter thoughts to
bring you more clarity.
*There is no issue that cannot be worked through.
*Bring Clarity, Understanding and Acceptance into your life.

These appointments will have a direct emphasis on where
you were, where you are now and where you want to go
from here.

With God’s grace and understanding, patience and
forgiveness, compassion and unconditional love we
can move our lives forward in a positive direction.  
A direct resource you will discover through this type of therapy
is that God carries us.

We never walk alone!
You cannot lose!  You can only win!
We find a solution, we find understanding.  
It is work, and we will walk together.

Pastoral Counseling is NOT a psychic mediumship reading, however the intuitive impressions
received will be mentioned and reflected upon.

What’s the Fee?  $40 an hour.  

When can we meet?
Any weekday Monday thru Friday 9:00-10:00am or 12:30-1:30pm
Monday Nights 6:00-7:00pm.  Other times are also available, just email about a date and time.
rsmith001@snet.net

Where do we meet?
At The Beyond Center, 281 Hartford Turnpike, #403, Vernon, CT 06066 OR over the phone.
(phone consults must be prepaid via paypal to rsmith001@snet.net)

How often to meet?
Every week if possible for the first month or two, then you should be on your feet and able to
come twice a month, or once a month.  You can always resume and come more often when
you need to.  The result we desire through these sessions is to have you find the confidence
and faith that you life is perfectly going in the direction you desire with the most profound
divine support both here and in Heaven.

Topics:
Religion and Spirituality
- Sometimes we wonder where God is, what our roots have taught
us and how to accept that spirituality into our lives now.  Being spiritually lost can be difficult,
finding a gentle way to reconnect your soul to God can be life changing.  A gentle reminder
through Pastoral Counseling can be enlightening toward a new bright positive future.  We can
pray and debate the concepts, gain freedom from old beliefs and find proof of the blessings
we can receive.

Adoption - If you are considering a search for your birth family, parent or child you have
given up for adoption, I can help you with the Roller Coaster ride of emotions.  Wondering
what your adopted child is going through? I can bring clarity on a topic that I truly
understand.  How do I get it? I am an adoptee, was adopted when I was 27 days old.  
Contacted my birthmother in my 20’s and was not received as I was hoped.  In 2000 received
a letter from my birthfather and have been in contact since.  I get it, I can bond
with you and you cannot use the excuse “you don’t get it” with me.  Nature vs. Nurture is a
real issue that can have a peace brought upon it.  There is the ‘constant’ to being adopted
and having someone to help you through and along that journey can be hard to find.  I am
willing to sympathetically link to your need as a pastoral counselor and guide. *in addition, if
you are planning to search, the intuitive gift I have can help to point in the right directions for
reconnection, however it is not a path to be taken lightly.

Soldiers – There is a current need for an outlet for soldiers who have had to deal with
PTSD.  Man, Woman, combat or rear detachment, dependant, reserves or active duty.  If you
are feeling that you need to have someone to talk to about what has happened, is happening
then I have the ability to listen.  As an intuitive and empathetic listener, you will have to
understand I will ‘see’ what you are saying, I will ‘hear’ what you heard and I will ‘feel’ what you
are feeling.  These session will be a way for you to let it all out.  
Yell, cry, scream and release.  Through Energy Healings, Prayer and counsel, you can be
relieved that I will be there to catch you.  You will NOT fall.  PTSD is real!  Therapy and drugs
are not always the best resources for what your soul has experienced.  That is deeper then
any drug can reach or therapist can understand unless they have been there themselves.  I
have Not been to war.  I have experience.  My daughter’s father has just returned from his 8th
tour since 1995.  I volunteer with Operation Homefront
http://www.operationhomefront.net/TriState/ and have an abundance of resources to help you
along your healing journey toward your ‘new path’ with understanding and joy.
What I want you to know if you consider coming to me for this service is that ‘I can handle it’  
Come with the freedom to ‘Not Hold Back’.

Other topics: relationships, marriage, grief, children, past and/or current abuse etc.  If you
wonder if we are a good match, just email me and ask, if I cannot help you… I will find
someone who can.  Rsmith001@snet.net
