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.”

“Leigh Kolodny-Kraft is amazing. We brought our teenage son to Leigh because she was trained by Dr Patrick Carnes and our son was having some impulsive sexual behavior. I was hesitant to believe that an 18 year old could have impulsive sexual behavior but the pediatrician insisted that we get counseling for him and provided us with Leigh’s name. She helped him and us as a family so much.” 

“Christina is an amazing therapist. My kids have been through a lot of therapists and either nothing changed or they got worse. Christina has been able to help us through significant behavior issues, issues related to autism, trauma and family issues. The work has not been easy but my kids are doing 100 times better and she has helped me to develop tools to help me help my son with autism and it has made a huge difference. My family will forever be grateful to Christina for all the help she has provided.”

“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.”

“Therapy is very hard work and not fun at times and life is painful, but I can’t thank Leigh and Jenna enough for helping make this mountain feel like we can climb it and come out on the other side.”

“Leigh and all the therapists in the Kraft Group are amazing. The thing that stands out the most is how professional they are and how committed they are. I never felt judged and highly respect the work they do. I am very thankful for all of the positive changes they have helped me make in my personal and professional life.”

“I am a doctor and so going to therapy was something I needed to go to where they could assure extra privacy. Leigh is a true professional. She impressed me greatly with her level of professionalism and is a true subject matter expert. One of the most hard working individuals I have seen. True professional.”

“My sister had a wonderful experience with this company. Everyone was super friendly and caring. It took her awhile to find a place to go, had some not so good experiences, and finally found the perfect place with The Kraft group. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of therapeutic help.”

“Leigh helped me through a very hard time. She helped me work through very difficult and complicated trauma that started in my childhood and followed me well into my adulthood and all of my relationships. She provided me with a safe place to talk about things that I have never shared with anyone else including my partner. Not only is she provided me with such a safe place but every step of the way I felt her level of care, authenticity and never felt judged by her along the way. She also has helped me learn how to set boundaries and advocate for myself in my relationships.”

“I have been very happy at the Kraft group. I had a positive experience from day one. For one, the office is not only gorgeous but very relaxing and a real calming environment. Everyone that works there are helpful and very warm. I love the team approach. I know my husband is crazy about his own therapist who has helped him through a lot of anxiety and anger issues.”

“Jenna is dedicated, hardworking and very supportive. She was resourceful, personable, and creative in forward-thinking ways that encourage people to achieve their goals.”

“I have been through many therapy practices due to my daughters issues. I have never been as impressed as I have been with this practice. The practice is so professional and they all go above and beyond for the clients. I am so impressed and feel so comfortable working with them. Not once have I felt judged as a parent or felt that my daughter was being judged. I have very high standards and they have surpassed them all. We are 9/11 survivors and have never received such amazing trauma treatment as we have here. Thank you so much.”

“My experience at the Kraft Group has been great so far. I had called inquiring about therapy and the warm welcome to services helped me feel confident in asking for help. I had first spoke to Leigh, who walked me through the therapy process, to which after my assessment I was transitioned to work with another therapist. Because of the dedication these therapists provide, I feel able to overcome my struggles.”

“I had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Leigh in developing and enhancing an adolescent addictions/ mental health program. Leigh's dedication and commitment to the work was outstanding. She is a top notch therapist that knows how to make teens and adults feel comfortable enough to follow her lead.”

“We were referred to Leigh through a family friend who worked with Leigh to help his family when they were struggling with their daughter's addiction. Leigh helped guide my family through our son's addiction and dd so without making any of us feel judged or bad for any mistakes we made along the way. We felt respected and supported. She helped educate and prepare us to get him into treatment and then worked with the family while he was in treatment to help us make the necessary changes we had to make so we could rebuild the family when he got home. We could not have one it without her knowledge and motivation.”

“Christina is a pleasure to work with, totally responsive, and makes clients feel at ease. To have someone like Christina help you is fantastic, and I give her my highest recommendation.”

“I have worked with Leigh Kolodny-Kraft for many years and she has proven to be one of the most insightful and compassionate therapists I have come across in my 15+ years in this field. Leigh always puts her client's needs first, making herself available when needed. She is well versed and trained in topics ranging from substance abuse/addiction to trauma issues; sex addiction to mental health issues. Rest assured, the patient's needs will be accurately assessed and addressed by this highly skilled therapist and her team of professionals at the Kraft Group.”

“I have seen many therapists and in my opinion Leigh is amazing. She is not someone to go to if you don’t want to be honest or work on yourself but if you are someone who wants your money's worth she is the go to person. High end high class treatment. Very impressed. Very happy I found her.”

“I have worked professionally with Leigh and her team several times. We have worked collaboratively to ensure the clients receive the best and most appropriate care. It has always gone smoothly. We really enjoy working with her and would recommend the Kraft Group.”

“Leigh is a dedicated and caring therapist - her professional expertise, deep experience and empathy put me at ease immediately. The trust she builds is based on the compassion she feels for those in her care.”

“Leigh Kolodny-Kraft is a constant professional and subject expert. I have utilized her services in many issues with clients. She has never disappointed and provides detailed reports and the people I have sent have demonstrated significant improvement in a relatively short period of time. She is reliable and dependable and actually charges very fairly for reports, testing and sessions. She is a consistent professional in every aspect. Very honest and strong clinician.”

“It's one of the most supportive groups nj has to offer. I have some experience in being counseled out of 54 psychologist I only found 3 who could help so I look forward to my care there.”

“Absolutely love Leigh best therapist ever been to. Cares so much. When I went through my divorce and money was a big issue did not make me pay u til I could recoup financially. Also lowered her rates. Very giving and truly cares. One of the few that are not in it for the money really cares about the people.”

“Leigh is able to see the big picture and willing to go the extra mile to help her clients.”

“I am a current client of the Kraft group and I am very pleased with the work that I have been doing with my therapist. She is very professional as well as helpful in aiding in my progress and goals I set out to achieve through her program. I would highly recommend her expertise.”

“Leigh is a dedicated and caring therapist - her professional expertise, deep experience and empathy put me at ease immediately. The trust she builds is based on the compassion she feels for those in her care.”

“I have been to many therapists and shopped around. I finally found my home at the Kraft group. I have never felt so respected and safe as I have there. I was sent there by a friend after I complained to them about my previous bad experiences. I was hesitant at first because honestly a lot of therapists/social workers or whatever the degree are a dime a dozen and don’t really care. I never feel that here. I really like Leigh. I understand she stated the place and I have been so impressed with her knowledge and honest care. You can see it in the other therapists as well. The Kraft group is my safe place. I never feel judged or unsafe. The best practice ever.”

“Leigh is amazing! My teen experienced some trauma in their life and needed help. A lot of therapists say they are trained in trauma but they really are not. Leigh was so amazing she truly helped my teen work through some horrific stuff that led them down a very bad road. I don’t think my child would be alive today if it were not for the help that Leigh gave to my child and my family.”

“It is very hard to find a therapist who is good with kids and adolescents because many just act like a playmate and no real progress is made or they work well with the child but don’t help the family dynamics. I found that Leigh worked very well with my teenage son who needed someone he felt safe with so he could deal with things he needed to deal with but also was able to get him to really make progress both in therapy and at home. She also helped my husband and I with the dynamics between him and his sister and helped us work with him and deal with behavioral issues in a more productive way. We have never felt so much trust in another provider as we do with Leigh.”

“Leigh is one of the most caring therapists I have ever worked with. Even when I went through an ugly divorce and could not pay she kept treating me. I have never felt so respected and like the person really cares as much as I do with Leigh. So knowledgeable and I can really trust her.”

“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 love working with Jenna T. She has helped me so much with my anger issues and self esteem issues. She is directive and caring. she has helped me through some very hard times and I would not have come out as strong without her.”

“Christina G. has a special touch with my son who os on the spectrum. She is the first therapist who did not treat him as of he were broken and who was able to reach him while still setting limits. She also was able help help my husband and myself navigate the school system, DD services and helped us maintain the life skills she taught our son. She even worked with our pediatrician to make sure all of our sons needs were met.”

“Jenna T. helped me so much with my divorce. I was in an abusive marriage for a long time. She helped me learn how to deal with the court system and to stop blaming myself for being abused in my marriage. Without her I would still be blaming myself and allowing people to hurt me.”

“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.”
