Jacob Hardt

Jacob Hardt, is a Certified Intervention Professional, life strategist, and founder of Evolve Intervention & Life Strategies. Based in New York City and working with individuals and families nationwide, Jacob specializes in complex addiction cases, substance-related psychosis, repeated relapse, and situations where traditional approaches have not been enough.

Jacob often handles cases involving individuals who are difficult to engage or resistant to treatment. His approach is direct, personal, and relationship-based. Rather than relying on confrontation, he focuses on building trust, understanding what is standing in the way of change, and finding a path toward willingness.

His work extends beyond the intervention itself. Jacob helps families understand the situation, identify appropriate treatment and professional resources, establish healthier boundaries, and develop a realistic strategy for what comes next. Through Evolve Intervention & Life Strategies, he also provides individualized life strategy and concierge support for clients needing structure, accountability, coordination, and continued guidance.

Jacob brings significant lived experience with addiction, recovery, adversity, and profound life change. That experience allows him to connect with people from diverse backgrounds without judgment or pretense and shapes his belief that even complicated cases are not hopeless.

His areas of particular experience include methamphetamine addiction, opioid and heroin addiction, methamphetamine- and cannabis-related psychosis, complex family systems, young adults, and individuals with long histories of treatment and relapse.

Jacob is a Certified Intervention Professional (CIP), Certified Recovery Peer Advocate (CRPA), and trained in the Break Free model of intervention.
