I wanted to share a good grief support group starting up with two great therapists leading it. They are also dear friends of mine. Please share with anyone who could use some grief support in this season of their life.

Kelli Simmerok and Diana Wu's upcoming GriefShare Support Group at Church on the Hill in San Jose starts a week from today! Hosted weekly on Wednesdays, 6:30–8:30 pm, from February 25 to May 20, 2026.

This 13-week support group is a safe, welcoming space for building community, gaining understanding, offering encouragement, and reigniting hope. Kelli and Diana will offer practical guidance and compassionate support as you navigate the difficult emotions of grief.

Happy Valentines Day to all! May you love yourself and others well today and everyday!!

At Christian Counseling Collective, we believe love is more than a romantic feeling, but a way of being that can be transformational.

Love looks like showing up for therapy even when it’s hard, offering yourself grace instead of criticism, repairing relationships with humility, allowing God’s compassion to steady your nervous system, and choosing connection over isolation.

Whether you are married, single, grieving, healing, rebuilding, or growing, you are deeply loved.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at CCC! 💙

This clinician is really helpful in navigating grief, whether it is a loss of job, relational loss, or a loss when someone has passed away. Here is a great article she wrote on “Anticipatory Grief.”

In Lori’s work as a therapist who specializes in grief and loss, she often encounters clients who have just learned of a horrible diagnosis - either of someone they love or of their own.  In her latest article, Lori explores how to navigate anticipatory grief with grace and offers coping

Hi Friends,
Dean and I are at it again, we will be teaching another workshop this November for 3 Sundays. We will integrate mental health, scripture, and the 12 steps in the practice of forgiving ourselves for anything from regrets of what we've done to others and what we have done to ourselves. Best gift is that it is free! Hope to see you there!!
