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 a small clinic by choice. This means you will receive personalized care in a warm, friendly and comfortable environment. 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. We have chosen not to institute electronic health records unlike all the large clinic systems that are now required to use them. 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.
