'''Dr. Jean-Michel Millepieds''' is a French psychiatrist who works in the [[Quiet Ivy]]. He makes his only appearance in the episode [[Psycho Therapy]], where he interviews [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]].
The MTV website has a monologue by Dr. Millepieds that is quite revealing. It reads: "Greetings to you. I am Dr. Jean-Michel Millepieds, an accredited psychiatrist (in my native France, which also means I am licensed to practice cosmetic acupuncture and pull teeth) specializing in family dynamics, couples therapy, and homeopathic hypnosis for weight loss. In all my years of practice, I have never seen such a fecund display of bizarre interpersonal dynamics as among the couples featured in Daria--and that includes my years spent living among the Bonobo monkeys. I am more than happy to offer my professional diagnostic opinion in the hopes that others will be inspired to stay far away from these people." Per "[[Psycho Therapy]]," he also knows hypnosis and past-life regression.▼
