Where deeper understanding lights the way to real change.

Hartwell Collective offers thoughtful, compassionate counseling services to individuals, couples, and families in the Kansas City area.

Offerings

COUNSELING SERVICES — Whether you’re sorting through personal patterns, relationship tension, or big life changes, this is a process to pause, reflect, and begin again with clarity and intention.

  • For individuals (adults, young adults, teens) struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relational issues, or feeling stuck. Explore what’s beneath the surface, gain insight into old patterns, and begin building a more honest and aligned way of living.

  • For partners who feel like they keep missing each other. Whether you’re navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, betrayal, or major transitions, couples counseling is a space to slow down, reflect on the dynamic, and build a stronger connection and understanding together.

  • Sometimes it’s hard to hear each other through the noise. Family therapy provides a space for everyone in the family to feel heard and learn how to listen to one another. Family has the potential to be one of life’s greatest gifts. When out of sorts, it has the potential to bring about some of the greatest heartache.

  • For anyone in Kansas seeking meaningful therapy from the comfort of home. I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions to make therapy more accessible—without losing the depth and presence that in-person sessions offer.

About

Helping you do the work that matters

I’m Jared Hart, M.A., LPC, and I started Hartwell Collective to offer people something rare: space to slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and move forward with greater clarity.

Sometimes life drags us into the fog—grief, burnout, relationships that don’t make sense anymore. You may feel stuck, but that doesn’t mean you’re broken.

Together, we’ll look at what’s happening under the surface, how you got here, and what choices are available now.

This is real work. It takes time and energy. But you're not doing it alone.

  • Therapy with me isn’t just talking—it’s reflecting, noticing, testing ideas, and naming things that have been unspoken for a long time.

    It’s a space where things slow down enough for you to make different choices next time life throws something your way.

    Clients describe me as steady, insightful, sometimes a little witty—but always focused on the deeper stuff, not just the surface noise. My goal isn’t to fix you. It’s to help you understand yourself better and build a life you’re proud of living.

  • You Feel Stuck, You’re In the Right Place.

    Common reasons clients reach out:

    • Feeling disconnected or lost

    • Relationship tension or patterns you can’t seem to shift

    • Navigating grief, burnout, or unexpected transitions

    • Looking for greater clarity or purpose in your life

    • Wanting tools for emotional growth—not just coping

  • Understanding > Advice. Exploration > Quick Fixes.

    I use an integrated approach rooted in psychodynamic work—focused on your emotions, past experiences, and patterns that shape how you show up today.

    This is a collaborative process. I don’t just nod and take notes—I’ll ask questions, reflect back what I notice, and help you connect the dots at your own pace.
