PRIVATE 12-WEEK INTENSIVE
The Connected Heart Project
For Christian Women Ready to Fully Live the Life God Created Specifically For Them
The Connected Heart Project is a private, focused process for Christian women ready to address the wounds, false beliefs, and identity patterns that have kept them from living freely.
Six private, three-hour sessions over approximately 12 weeks - $4800 - Four private clients accepted per year
Strong. Faithful. Responsible. And tired.
There is a particular kind of woman who finds her way to me. She is not dramatic, chaotic, or incapable. She is strong. Faithful. Responsible.
And tired. Not simply physically tired. Internally tired. Tired of holding herself—and everyone else—together while something inside feels off.
She second-guesses decisions that should feel simple. She hesitates in rooms she belongs in. She apologizes when she has done nothing wrong. She senses that there is more to her life, but she cannot quite reach it.
She has built her life on rules she didn't write. Beliefs she absorbed. Expectations she learned to survive within. Conclusions about herself, God, and other people that once seemed necessary—but now limit how she lives.
She doesn't need another assignment to try harder. She needs to discover what has been shaping her life beneath the surface.
You cannot build a free life on a foundation formed in pain.
Trauma doesn't simply leave memories. It can shape the beliefs through which we interpret ourselves, our relationships, our choices, and even God.
Perhaps you've spent years trying to change your behavior, improve your boundaries, manage your anxiety, or become more confident. But when the underlying beliefs remain untouched, the same patterns can return in different forms.
CHP works beneath the symptoms. Together, we identify the wounds and conclusions that shaped your identity, address what is still holding you there, and begin rebuilding on truth rather than survival.
We are not trying to turn you into someone else. We are helping you reconnect with the woman you were created to be.
Four connections. One life that begins to fit.
Know who you are
Recognize false identities, inherited expectations, and survival patterns. Learn to see yourself through truth rather than the pain of your past.
Reconnect without fear
Examine beliefs about God that may have been shaped by hurt, shame, or religious expectations, and grow in a more secure relationship with Him.
Build healthier relationships
Practice boundaries, mutuality, discernment, and connection without automatically disappearing into the needs and expectations of others.
Live the life that is yours
Move beyond managing old wounds toward decisions, work, relationships, and a calling shaped by who you truly are.
Freedom shows up in ordinary moments
At home
You begin to recognize where you have been carrying responsibilities that are not yours, and find healthier ways to share them.
At work
You can lead, contribute, and make decisions without continually proving your worth or apologizing for your voice.
In church
You learn to distinguish God's calling from other people's expectations and serve from conviction rather than pressure.
With family
You can love people without becoming responsible for every feeling, choice, or consequence in their lives.
With friends
Relationships have room for mutual care rather than constant rescuing, fixing, or over-functioning.
Within yourself
You may discover more steadiness, clarity, self-respect, and confidence as old beliefs lose their hold.
Focused, personal work - not an endless process
Over approximately 12 weeks, we meet privately for six three-hour intensive sessions. Between meetings, you use the CHP curriculum to reflect, integrate what you're learning, and prepare for the next stage.
I listen carefully, help you recognize patterns you may never have been able to name, and work with you to address their roots. We move at a pace appropriate to your circumstances, rather than promising a predetermined result.

What women have said about their experience
I’m not the same woman I was three months ago.
“I didn’t realize how much tension I was carrying until it lifted. I’m not the same woman I was three months ago. I show up in my work and relationships without inhibition.”
— CHP Graduate
Dr. Kim identified the internal fractures.
“I was working 90-hour weeks, leading a team, and quietly self-sabotaging every time I got close to advancement. Dr. Kim identified the internal fractures driving it. We resolved them. I made partner months later.”
— Partner, International Firm
The shift was decisive.
“Dr. Kim doesn’t just uncover the lies — she removes them at the root. The shift was decisive. I feel steady in a way I never have before.”
— CHP Graduate
CHP has completely changed the paradigm of my life.
“The Connected Heart Project has completely changed the paradigm of my life and my ability to see where I actually stand with God, in His warm, loving arms, cherishing His darling daughter. I can hardly remember what it was like to see Him differently.”
— CHP Graduate
Meet Dr. Kim West
For more than 25 years, I have worked with women navigating trauma, identity fractures, and the internal instability that quietly limits their lives. I am an author and trauma-focused counselor with a PhD and a Master of Divinity.
Credentials matter, but they are not what define my work. What defines it is the ability to help a woman recognize patterns she may have lived with for decades without ever being able to name them.
I don't see women as broken or deficient. I see capable women whose lives have been shaped by wounds, expectations, and beliefs that were never theirs to carry.
I am not here to rescue you or tell you who to become. I am here to help you do the work of healing and rebuilding, so you can live with greater freedom, connection, and purpose.
When you're ready to stop living from the past, we can begin building what comes next.
When the 12 weeks are complete, you move through your life more grounded, decisive, and internally steady.
Six 3-hour private sessions with Dr. Kim, one every two weeks
The Connected Heart Project curriculum for the work between sessions
Direct access to Dr. Kim between sessions to keep your momentum
Structured trauma resolution and identity reconstruction
Spiritual integration grounded in Christ-centered truth
YOUR INVESTMENT
$4,800
I accept only four private CHP clients per year so that I can give this work the time and personal attention it deserves.
Payment plans are available if needed.
One private opening is available this quarter.
OR
How do I know whether CHP is right for me?
If old wounds, beliefs, or relationship patterns continue to shape your life and you are ready to participate in focused work, an initial conversation can help us assess whether CHP is appropriate for you.
What happens during a three-hour session?
During the week, you are uncovering, through the online portion of CHP, what we will address during our intensive session. You arrive transformation ready - we heal, rebuild, resolve and equip you from the foundations up. Simple. Powerful. Freeing.
Is CHP therapy, counseling, coaching or something else?
My PhD is in Clinical Pastoral Counseling, so, yes, this is most definitely counseling. I also have a Master of Divinity so we are also doing spiritual formation. I have been mentoring and coaching women for over two decades so life coaching is integral to this process as well.
What if I have significant trauma?
Addressing trauma has been the focus of my counseling for twenty-five years. And, rebuilding life after healing is absolutely essential. We will thoroughly discuss your healing needs before we agree to work together.
Is this only for women?
Yes. I have worked with men in CHP but my heart is for women to heal their identity, relationship with God, connections with others, and find and live theirpurpose.
How much time should I plan for?
Over 12 weeks, you will have online course work that will teach you, heal you and free your mind. Then we meet for six three-hour private sessions where we take what you have experienced to a whole new level. Here is where Christ brings the deep healing and identity restoration that is needed for you to live with Him without limitations.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. You may pay your full investment or make three payments of $1600 over our three months together.
What if private CHP isn't the right fit financially?
You can explore the Connected Heart Project Group, a small-group, 3-5 women, format with a separate schedule and investment.
This work changed everything.
"I didn't realize how much of my identity was built on lies until I started this work. The old version of me was safe, small, and acceptable to everyone else. The new version of me is whole, free, and living the life I was actually designed for. This work changed everything."
— CHP Graduate
I'm so grateful for her mentorship.
"Dr. Kim's calm, grounding presence in my life has been monumental - her voice echoes in my mind throughout the day, reminding me of who I am in Christ. I'm so grateful for her mentorship.
Who knew that the voices of our past can weigh us down today and keep us from growth in the future? I was surprised to discover lies that I'd believed about God & myself that were keeping me stuck.”
— CHP Graduate
Thank you Dr. Kim for transforming my life.
“I not only discovered the truth about myself but also experienced, freedom, peace, and encouragement for a future full of HOPE! It is incredible how that transformation happened so quickly with full resolve!
Thank you Dr. Kim for transforming my life for the better and all those who I will come in contact with!"
— CHP Graduate
The first thing I notice is her face when our work is complete.
The weight is gone. The tension she carried without realizing it has lifted. She is no longer bracing. No longer performing. No longer holding herself together from the inside.
She is free to be herself — often for the first time in her life.
Her voice steadies. Her decisions land cleanly. Her presence shifts without her trying.
She doesn’t become someone new. She becomes set free from being who she thought she should be and others insisted she must be. And that changes everything.
This is the work I have devoted my life to.
For more than 25 years, I have watched women walk into my office carrying invisible weight — and walk out lighter, steadier, fully themselves.
Not a louder version of themselves, although now they have a true voice. Not a harsher or reactionary version but calm, confident and powerful. Not hardened by realizing what has held her back but released from its hold on her.
In other words - She is Free. To live her life as she designs it with the Lord. No apology and no asking for permission.
You don't have to keep living inside a story that was never really yours.
If you're ready to explore what healing, identity, connection, and purpose could look like in your life, I invite you to apply for private The Connected Heart Project.
In Christ,
Need a Different Option?
If you're ready for this work but the private intensive isn't the right fit at this time, The Connected Heart Project Group offers a way to begin your healing and identity reconstruction journey within a group of 3-5 women.
You'll receive the same biblical teaching, practical tools, and a supportive community as you reconnect with the woman God created you to be.
