We are a private, outpatient mental health clinic specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, medical conditions, depression, anxiety, panic and related issues including relationship problems, self-injury, codependency and family problems. Dr. Lees is a recognized expert in these conditions. She is one of the only Certified Eating Disorder Specialists in the area and also one of the only psychologists in Milwaukee to receive a post-doctoral Master’s degree in Clinical Psychopharmacology, giving her extensive knowledge about psychiatric medications and their uses in clinical care.

We are accepting of all identities and are committed to providing affirmative treatment to all people regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, age, culture, ethnic or gender identity.

You will never have to worry about who will see your mental health records when you are treated here. We can guarantee that “confidential” really means when it comes to the privacy of your mental health information.

I use a Strength-Based model of treatment combined with compassion, understanding and a warm sense of humor. Joy joins CPA after 20 years of postgraduate work with adolescents and families.

Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile. I am a Clinical Social Worker specializing in children with mood/behavioral issues, as well as with the parents on various parenting struggles, teenagers with self-esteem, bullying and school/peer related stress issues. I also work with couples and relationship struggles. I strive to create a comfortable, non-judgemental, yet, casual and friendly environment. I have a special interest in Mindfulness and Meditation, incorporating guided imagery, breathing and even yoga stretches with traditional therapy techniques. Now, I am not your typical therapist. I like to get creative with interventions, not just worksheets and talk therapy. I incorporate movement, music, art and even yoga into my sessions. I frequently use humor and make my clients laugh, because laughter is therapy in itself! It is not uncommon to see me on the floor coloring or doing art projects with my little clients, gossiping about the latest hollywood saga with my teens, and chatting comfortably or even sharing some of my own personal stories with my clients. It is important for me to show you that I am human too! I am a firm believer in solution-focused and strength-based approaches in my sessions. I believe that everyone has an inner good, something to be proud of, and I want you to let that shine! I also incorporate CBT, experiential therapy, talk therapy and exposure therapy elements into sessions. I am extremely flexible and will work with each individual needs of my clients to promote a happy, healthy and fulfilled life.
