Toppacio Rodriguez , LMFT

Toppacio Rodriguez, who often goes by Topy and uses she/her pronouns, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. She works systemically with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, helping clients address stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and related issues such as attachment and adoption-related difficulties. Her practice emphasizes understanding how relationships and life contexts shape emotional wellbeing and behavior, and she draws on evidence-based techniques to support growth and healing.

Toppacio is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) - a structured, evidence-based method for helping people process and cope with traumatic experiences - and in Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), a framework that guides clinicians in selecting and tailoring proven interventions for complex cases. She has experience working with children with atypical neurodevelopment, including autism spectrum presentations and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, as well as survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. She has supported people from a range of economic, cultural, ethnic, gender, and sexual identity backgrounds.

Toppacio aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and practical coping skills developed. She approaches therapy collaboratively, supporting clients as they take steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
