Dr. Mills earned her Bachelor's of Arts degree in Psychology from Mount Vernon Nazarene College, her Master of Science in Counseling/Counselor Education from Indiana University, and her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Spalding University. Her dissertation research focused on the importance of fathers and faith in the lives of children and resulted in a faith-based fatherhood program. Her pre-doctoral internship focused on children and families and dealt with psychological testing, substance abuse treatment for adolescents, outpatient therapy for children and their families, and inpatient treatment for child/adolescents dealing with depression, anxiety, behavioral disorders, and personality disorders.
Dr. Mills is a wife of over 30 years and a mom of four amazing and beautiful children. She enjoys any activity involving water. Give her an ocean, lake, or pool and 80 degree weather and she is a happy girl. Since much of her professional work does not allow her to see her finished products, her hobbies of baking, furniture refinishing, and home improvement projects fill her bucket. She doesn't claim to have it all figured out, but she invites audiences along with her as she opens up about her struggles and encourages others to do the same.
