Hi, I’m Joe Leonard and I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist (MS, LMFT) in Madison WI, owner of Palm Tree Family Therapy LLC. I also write, perform, and produce rock-n-roll music with my band GUPPY EFFECT. I identify as vegan and I host the popular blog Bike With Joe.

Everything is where I want and need it to be in my life, so I am not currently taking on any new projects. Instead, I am staying focused and avoiding distractions. I spend all my time on these things right now (updated 10/1/2024):

• Being a marriage and family therapist at Palm Tree Family Therapy - helping people with their mental health and relationship issues to achieve their goals!
• Developing a business and brand around "punk rock life coaching," for misfits and non-conformists (like me) trying to be free agents of positive change in the Cosmos and owning it.
• Performing live music (via online house concerts) with my original rock-n-roll band GUPPY EFFECT and developing my newest music project, the instrumental surf rock band BANANA HAMMOCK.
• Writing daily, currently focusing on a fun sci-fi epic novel.
• Self care. I have a PhD in Leisure Science from Abide University and Institute. Continuing education in this field never ceases.
• Miscellaneous: Exercising daily. Cooking and eating vegan recipes. Avoiding toxicity and drama. Connecting with my beautiful wife, Deborah.

To keep myself focused, I say NO to any requests that aren’t related to the things listed above. I wish I could do more, but I have just exactly the right amount of things on my plate - I don't need any extra. However, if you really feel like your project deserves my attention, I am accepting written proposals only.

If my activities change, I’ll update this page. Last update was October 1, 2024.
