(''Original text modified from the "Quiet Ivy" entry in the stupendous [http://dariaencyclopedia.blogspot.com Daria Encyclopedia 0.0] by [[CINCGREEN]].'')
Quiet Ivy is a private psychiatric institution ("spa") near [[Lawndale]], appearing only in "[[Psycho Therapy]]." It is also known as "The Retreat" by [[Helen
"Renewal and Rejuvenation for the Spirit and the Soul" is the motto appearing on the Quiet Ivy brochure (with additional phrases like: "We exercise your inside instead of your outside"). It is implied that prospective candidates for full partner at Helen's law firm are sent to Quiet Ivy with their families, at the law firm's cost, to be evaluated by the mental-health staff, and in this vein the Morgendorffers visit Quiet Ivy in "Psycho Therapy." Before arriving at the facility, family members must fill out questionnaires with unusual questions like: "Which animal would you rather be: a dog, a seal, or a lion? Now explain your choice in a brief sentence."
[[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] of course filled out her forms with unlikely answers, which led the Quiet Ivy staff to believe she was mentally ill and needed "intensive observation." When the doctors conclude that Daria was just being sarcastic, one remarks, "Looks like we got our hopes up." Another doctor asks his colleague if they could at least sedate Daria.
Quiet Ivy has a large dining hall and a computer room with multiple terminals that can each access the Internet. It is unclear if this is an outpatient or Inpatient facility, or if there are accommodations for overnight stays by outpatients. Each family member has a personal counselor; Daria's counselor is [[Dr. Millepieds|Dr. Jean-Michel Millepieds]], who concludes Daria is well adjusted, but her family is not.
The results of the Morgendorffers' evaluations are sent to the law firm where Helen works. As it turns out, the firm was looking for workaholics, and Helen was a perfect match.
