Dr . Barry J . Mills sits in his well-ordered Worth
Treatment Center with his quirky little dog , Willie . The doctor has recently returned home to Texas and just opened Worth Treatment Center , this after he spent almost two decades teaching at a number of prestigious universities across the nation that includes Harvard ( yes , that Harvard — the one in Massachusetts ). He has more than 20 years of clinical and teaching experience that includes teaching on the faculties at the University of Texas and Harvard Medical Schools . “ Then , I had an offer to teach at
Harvard ,” Mills said . “ I couldn ’ t turn that down , can ’ t turn down Harvard .”
The Millers loved New England . “ We really enjoyed it ,” he said . “ It ’ s a different experience to be around so many intellectually stimulating people constantly . Once all three kids went off to college , there was only dad left to shovel the snow .”
Besides his teaching stint at Harvard , Mills also founded the Psychiatric Emergency Department of Austin ’ s Brackenridge Hospital and served as Residency Training
