If you, a family member, or a loved one is struggling with addiction, it’s often a sign of more profound, more complex challenges. My approach focuses on helping individuals uncover and address the physical, emotional, and even spiritual aspects of their addiction through a compassionate, holistic, and evidence-based lens.
Understanding Addiction
Addiction is rarely a standalone issue. It’s often rooted in pain, trauma, or unmet needs. Together, we will work to identify these underlying factors and create a tailored recovery plan that supports sobriety, personal growth, and healing.
Why Waiting Isn’t the Answer
There’s a common misconception that someone must "hit bottom" before they can begin recovery. In my experience, healing can start anytime—whether triggered by an intervention, family crisis, job loss, or legal trouble. Waiting for someone to hit "bottom" is unnecessary and dangerous—too often, that "bottom" is irreversible. Recovery doesn’t have to wait, and neither should you.
Building a Support Network
I’ll work with you to build a strong support team for your loved one, creating a network of professional and personal connections that foster safety, stability, and a genuine sense of belonging. Together, we’ll establish a foundation that encourages long-term recovery and healing. A safe, connected environment is crucial for lasting change, and I am committed to helping your loved one feel supported every step of the way.
Empowering Families
Addiction affects everyone, not just the individual. I focus on providing you and your family access to resources, supportive services, and community groups. These connections will help you navigate the challenges of addiction while equipping you with the tools to understand your loved one’s journey better and find your path to healing.
A Personalized Approach
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and shaped by a realistic, down-to-earth perspective. Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s as unique as the individual. Together, we’ll explore tailored solutions until we discover the right balance of family and community and hope to support lasting change.
Take the First Step
Recovery is a process that takes time, but addiction doesn’t wait—it consumes everything in its path. The best time to act is now. Don’t wait to take the first step. Reach out today to discuss how I can support you and your loved one on the path to recovery.
Let’s start the healing today. – Jacob Hardt
Services
Intervention
Jacob has studied different forms of intervention and primarily uses the invitational model, an approach that emphasizes collaboration and respect for all participants. This method creates a non-confrontational environment, encouraging open communication and fostering trust among everyone involved. The invitational intervention model is grounded in the belief that change is most effective when it stems from mutual understanding and a shared commitment to recovery.
Motivational interviewing (MI), an evidence-based approach, is integral to Jacob's work. This client-centered counseling method helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about change by enhancing intrinsic motivation. Research shows that motivational interviewing effectively promotes behavioral changes, particularly in addiction treatment, because it respects autonomy while guiding individuals toward constructive decisions.
Every intervention is different and unique to the individual and their family dynamic. Jacob first works closely with families, friends, co-workers, and anyone close to your loved one to establish a solid recovery plan. This process involves careful planning to develop a change plan that includes treatment programs, mental health providers, experienced sober coaches, and family counselors. With the groundwork established, the invitation is made, and the intervention begins.
Every intervention is individualized and tailored to your loved one's specific needs, ensuring a compassionate and effective pathway toward recovery.

Connection
Empowering Recovery Through Connection
Recovery from addiction starts with a single connection that can transform your journey. As someone who has walked the path of recovery myself, I understand the challenges of achieving and maintaining sobriety. Through one-on-one coaching, I offer personalized support to help you break through the isolation of addiction and build a life rooted in resilience and community.
Sobriety is just the beginning—it’s the foundation for a life of purpose and fulfillment. Together, we’ll focus on the tools and support systems you need to sustain your recovery and thrive.
What is Sober Coaching?
Sober coaching provides guidance and encouragement to navigate the complexities of staying sober. Whether attending 12-step meetings, exploring trauma support groups, or simply facing life’s day-to-day challenges, I’ll be your companion and coach.
From accompanying you to appointments or meetings to offering a steady presence during difficult moments, my role is to help you feel supported and empowered to succeed.
My Approach
I believe in meeting you where you are and building a collaborative, trust-based relationship. This isn’t about telling you what to do—it’s about working together to explore solutions that make sense for your unique journey.
Through guidance, encouragement, and real-life experience, I’ll help you develop the confidence and skills to sustain your recovery. I aim to empower you to build a meaningful, sober life that aligns with your goals and aspirations.

"Jacob has been invaluable on our journey towards our son’s break from addiction. His warmth and caring has seen him transition from an interventionist to a trusted mentor to our son. We are so thankful that Jacob was introduced to us and so blessed to have him in our corner."
KS. -Intervention and Coaching
There aren’t enough words for how thankful I am to have had Jacob help our family get my brother into and immersed in recovery. As someone who’s experienced addiction and worked his way out of it through dedication, courage, and a lot of hard work and determination, Jacob was extremely effective, in my opinion. My brother isn’t the easiest person to unlock, and Jacob had a kind, honest, open, direct and firm way of helping him face his reality and reach the other side as a sober, productive, much happier man. It’s like being around a different person now, and most importantly, my brother is so much happier. Do not hesitate to call Jacob if you need help with a loved one lost to addiction. I thought there was no way out, but there is! You just have to make the first call and let him work his magic.

Jacob & his services were able to perform “miracles” & have my son realize & accept that he had to go to rehab for his addiction problem. Many had tried to get through to him, but only Jacob was successful. I wish anyone that you did not need his services, but if you find yourself or a family member in addiction trouble, wholeheartedly recommend his services. He is excellent!!
Would recommend: Yes
Comments: Compassionate, caring & will always go the extra mile.
Gary (Intervention)
Jacob has a gift for coming into situations and knowing how to handle them in a unique, compassionate, understanding, caring, and non-judgmental way. He is unconventional and dynamic and has a sixth sense of knowing the next steps to take. He puts his whole heart into his work. His strength and peace have opened our eyes to so many things. We are so grateful Jacob came into our lives.
Robin -Intervention and Coaching
I met Jacob on my first real day of sobriety. Little did I know at the time that his support and wisdom would allow me to finally start my road to recovery in earnest. Jacob has helped me build effective habits as well as a support network that help me stay sober, but he's also contributed significantly to my ability to embark upon an even bigger project: learning how to love myself, find real peace, and construct a life full of meaning and joy. I never imagined a sober lifestyle would be the greatest gift--that life could be so beautiful and profound. I don't think I would have discovered all of this without Jacob's help. I will be eternally grateful to him through my final moments on earth.
Graham (recovery coaching)
After I was finally released from the consequences of my addiction, it was hard to feel there was any hope for a better future. Jacob's powerful story of overcoming all the odds helped me to see that maybe I could make it. His lived experiences and intimate knowledge of the LGBTQIA+ community, and recovery resources empowered me on my own recovery journey. Thank you so much, Jacob! I can say that I am a sober, happy, productive, purposeful person with an arsenal of coping strategies and tactics to protect me against the insidious voice of my addiction. If you are wondering if anyone can meet you where you are, I'm here to say that Jacob Hardt can and has. I'm living proof!

He makes you feel safe and heard, He is born for this job.
Lukas (Recovery Coaching)
Jacob was an integral part of my recovery from day one. From the first time I met Jacob, he encouraged me to step into the light of recovery and step out of my comfort zone. He believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself, and I will be forever grateful to him for that. His knowledge and personal and professional experience gave me hope for my recovery, and he was a friendly, familiar face when I needed it. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for his guidance and support.
Would recommend: Yes
Phil - Coaching
Jacob is simply amazing! He has been a blessing to me and my family in our recovery journey. I live across the country from my son, and before we had Jacob, I worried constantly. Now I have someone I can count on to offer guidance and support to all of us. Jacob is kind and knowledgeable and is always there when we need him. He responds immediately and always seems to know just the right thing to do. I highly recommend working with Jacob.
