Dr. Deb Gorton’s experience as a clinical psychologist offers a unique perspective on faith and mental health.

Her writing challenges the status quo and calls us to embrace radical acceptance. She offers her insight on a variety of topics focused around challenging our perspectives, owning our now, and navigating the dance of balancing rational thinking with emotional experience. As a follower of Jesus Christ, any wisdom she shares finds its roots in the inspired Word of God.
