The Connected Heart Method

This is not another CE course.
This is structured, intensive, root-level work that allows you to deliver premium results in a fraction of the time.

  • The Connected Heart Method™ gives you a clear, Christ-centered, repeatable system to create real transformation—and finally get paid well for it.

You’re Not the Problem. The Method Is.

You didn’t become a counselor to watch people stay stuck. But if you’re honest…

That’s exactly what’s happening.

Session after session.
Story after story.
And the same patterns keep showing up.You’ve done the trainings.
You’ve learned the theories.
You’ve put in the time.

And yet…You’re still:

  • Circling the same issues

  • Watching breakthroughs fade

  • Doing more work than your income reflects

Not because you’re not good at what you do.

Because what you were given doesn’t actually lead to transformation

The Truth

Most training teaches you how to help clients cope. It does not teach you how to help them heal.

It creates what you already know too well:

Tolerable recovery.

Clients function… but they’re not free.

And you?

You’re left doing more sessions, more processing, more work—

for results that never quite land and definitely making less than you should.

Introducing

The Connected Heart Method™ Certification

A structured, Christ-centered system that reveals, disrupts, and restores at the root—so your clients don’t stay stuck for years.

What you actually want

You want to:

  • Get to the root—fast

  • Stop circling and start resolving

  • See your clients actually change

  • Be paid for the level of work you’re capable of doing

And if you’re being really honest…

You’re tired of watching people suffer while the process drags on.

versus

How it is different

Most models start in the session. This one starts before it. Your client works through a guided process that surfaces:

  • Their story

  • Their trauma

  • Their identity distortions

  • The lies they’ve been living from

So when they sit down with you…

👉 You’re not guessing.
👉 You’re not digging.
👉 You’re not circling.

You’re doing the work that actually transforms them.

The Connected Heart Method

Moves clients through a proven 4-phase process:

Story Reveal

We uncover the narrative and trauma shaping their identity.

Inner Bully Disruption

We expose and silence the voice that keeps them stuck.

Identity Restoration

We rebuild identity in truth—grounded in Christ.

Design Activation

We move them into clarity, confidence, and purpose-driven action.

What this means

for you

You will finally:

  • Know exactly what to do in sessions

  • Stop relying on guesswork

  • Move clients through a clear transformation process

  • Deliver results you can stand behind

Let's talk about income

(LIKE ADULTS)

You’re working too hard for what you’re making. Not because your work isn’t valuable. Because your model doesn’t support it. This method allows you to:

Deliver transformation in a structured 3-month process

Charge appropriately for outcomes—not time

Create consistency in both impact and income

REALITY CHECK

One client at $4,800 more than covers your annual $1,500 certification.

Every client after that? Is profit—and impact.

This is not for everyone

This is for the counselor who:

Thinks outside the box

Is frustrated with slow, ineffective models

Is done with surface-level work

Knows people can be healed—not just managed

The one who is ready to stop dancing around the issue…

…and start setting people free.

FAITH IS NOT OPTIONAL HERE

Real healing happens when identity is restored in Christ.

We don’t separate clinical work from spiritual truth.

We integrate them.

Because that’s where real freedom happens.

Dr. Kim West,

PhD MDiv

I’ve spent over two decades sitting with people in the places most avoid—trauma, identity fractures, and the patterns that keep them stuck no matter how much they understand their story.

PhD in Clinical Pastoral Counseling, Master of Divinity, 50+ books written. And after years of doing what I was trained to do, I realized something I couldn’t ignore: most approaches don’t actually lead to healing.

They lead to insight, coping and only Tolerable Recovery. Clients function better but they’re not free after all our time together. I just wasn’t willing to keep working that way.

So I stopped relying on traditional models alone and built a structured, Christ-centered process that actually gets to the root of problems and heals them.

Over the years, I’ve watched this work do what many believe isn’t possible:

  • Deep healing that doesn’t take years - just weeks

  • Trauma losing its hold—completely and permanently

  • Clients walking in wholeness, freedom, and purpose

This is not some theory. This is the method I’ve used for over a decade. And now I’m teaching other counselors how to do the same.

If you’re just looking for more tools, more techniques, or more information this won’t be a fit. But if you’re ready to actually help your clients heal deeply and quickly then you’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What actually happens through the Connected Heart Method?

Your client experiences a fundamental "re-coding" of who they are and how they function in the world. We identity the fractures in the identity foundations and repair them through a new, intimate and solid attachment in Christ. We are moving them from a state of internal fragmentation and shame into a state of spiritual wholeness and self-authority - restoring their dignity.

How can only doing two 3-hour sessions in a month bring real healing and freedom?

This is the beauty of the method. The client is working through the online coursework. The system does the deep internal excavation for your client before you ever sit down with them! They come to their session already aware of their patterns, wounds, and identity distortions-so you can actually do transformational work instead of discovery work. You don't have to spend hours figuring out what is wrong. The method reveals it for you so you step in and bring healing.

Yes. The certification fee licenses you to use The Connected Heart Method. We will have quarterly additional training and support that will be included in your certification.

The $250 fee gives your client access to the online program.

Are there any other requirements?

This is optional but, I believe it is essential. You will receive your own full Connected Heart online course. I highly recommend you go through it yourself. Why? Because if you have an underlying traumas or fractures, internal limitations or fears you will be released from them before you work with clients. You will also experience what your client will be experiencing so you will fully understand where they are in the process as you work with them.
