Client Testimonials

What clients have to say about The Kraft Group’s trauma, mental health, and addiction therapists…

“I highly recommend Leigh. As they former Morris County Prosecutor (and over an entire career as a litigator), I have worked with many mental health providers and addiction specialists. Leigh recognizes the value of interfacing with clients entangled in the legal system and better enables both professions to get the best results for the client. She is passionate about her work and caring about her clients. We have worked with Leigh to achieve optimal results both legally and for the mental health needs for our clients.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Leigh. I have been working with Leigh for awhile now and I felt so safe with Leigh and made so much progress that I was never able to make before that. I felt like I could trust the practice with my child. Leigh helped me work through so much trauma and my husbands addiction.”

“After my third injury, I was in a dark place mentally. Therapy here wasn’t just about talking—it was about getting back to who I am. They understood performance anxiety, physical recovery, and the emotional toll of the game. I’ve referred other players here too.”

"Leigh Kolodny-Kraft is truly exceptional. We brought our teenage son to her after his pediatrician recommended counseling for impulsive sexual behavior and referred us to Leigh, noting her specialized training with Dr. Patrick Carnes. At first, I was hesitant to believe an 18-year-old could struggle with such issues, but Leigh’s expertise quickly put us at ease. She helped our son with compassion and insight—and supported us as a family every step of the way. Her work made a lasting difference in our lives."

"Olivia is an incredible therapist. After cycling through multiple providers with little to no progress—or even setbacks—we finally found the right fit with her. Olivia has guided us through serious behavioral challenges, autism-related concerns, trauma, and family conflict with compassion and clarity. The work hasn’t been easy, but my kids are doing 100 times better. She’s also given me the tools I needed to better support my son with autism, and it has completely changed our family dynamic. We will be forever grateful for the difference Olivia has made in our lives."
— Parent of Pediatric Clients, NJ

“The thing that stands out to me the most about Leigh is INTEGRITY in a very ugly world when often the people who are supposed to be the ones helping you are hurting you. We experienced many different therapists telling us to send our son to whatever rehab they had connections with but Leigh really took the time to get to know our son who had failed many rehabs before and was able to understand him and his needs and placed him in the best fit for him and our family rather than somewhere she had something to gain. She actually took the time to educate us on the different types of rehabs and pros and cons of each and stayed involved throughout his treatment and advocated for not just him but the family when needed. She helped us deal with he stress involved in sending him away again and to prepare us and him for Sober Living after he returned. Most importantly, she helped us learn how to appropriately and lovingly set boundaries not only with our son but with ourselves. Our lives and our son's life are different now. He is 4 years in recovery for drug addiction and we are in 4 years of recovery as a family from codependency.”

“I travel from Manhattan to Florham Park weekly to see Leigh. The thing that strikes me the most is how authentic and real she is. Her approach in working with our family trauma has been so amazing and caring. I have never felt judged as a parent even when I was in the wrong. My son who has seen the top psychologists in Manhattan never stuck with any of them. He has been working through significant trauma with Leigh and has stuck with it for awhile now and both he and we have seen drastic changes in his behavior and functioning. He is back to being my son from prior to all of his trauma. I cannot thank her enough. You can feel her care and dedication. “

“I struggled with drug addiction and sex addiction for many years and went to many many many therapists. They all felt robotic with canned responses. They also all spent a lot of time talking about their own recovery and how I needed to recover the same way they did. What I like the most about Leigh is that she does not do that. Her advice on group is not the same to everyone and neither is her approach. She seems to know what people need and how to help them get it in a healthy way. She feels human and never made me feel shame when I would make mistakes. She would help me learn how to grow from them rather than stay stuck in them. She is just a very unique person and therapist.”
