San Jose, California Counseling

STEVE MONTE, LCSW

I founded Rock Life Counseling because I was frustrated by the traditional model of counseling. It wasn’t working for many clients that I saw out there struggling. They’d go looking for help that would match up with their needs, only to come up empty time and time again.

MONICA PEÑA, LCSW

I believe that you are the expert on your own life. I’m here to walk beside you as you face life’s challenges, and share tools that will help you live your best life. Let’s talk about your goals and create a plan to help you reach them!

AIKO MATSUMURA, LMFT

I have had the pleasure of supporting individuals and families through counseling for over 14 years. Together, we have addressed a variety of topics, such as relationship issues, grief and loss, work stress, traumatic life experiences, and big life changes. While I’ve had the privilege to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, values, and perspectives, one thing has been consistent and clear.  Adulting is hard!

AARON WEINSTEIN, LMFT

I have about a decade of experience serving the youth in my community, helping parents, and aiding working professionals.  My passion comes from observing people overcome their hardships.  The process is your own; I want to provide the tools that fit best.

ALICIA ANDERSON, LCSW

I became a clinical social worker to support folks in identifying what is most important to them on their personal journey and how they want to navigate it. My hope is to provide a genuine, honest, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can safely explore your needs. Through an authentic and safe therapeutic relationship, you can experience self-discovery and healing.

Sarah Lei, MSW Intern

Hi folks! You and I both know that when you’ve lived through traumatic experiences, it sets your whole body on edge. It can affect your sleep, your appetite, and of course your relationships with those around you. The impact of trauma and PTSD has been highlighted in the media at times, with military veterans, celebrities, and others telling their stories.
