Toppacio Rodriguez, LMFT

Toppacio Rodriguez, who prefers to be called Topy and uses she/her pronouns, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. As an LMFT she is trained to work with individuals, couples, children, teens and families, approaching concerns from both personal and relational perspectives. With five years of clinical experience, she brings attention to how relationships and life systems shape a person’s challenges and strengths.

Topy works from a systemic lens, helping clients explore how different parts of life - family, work, intimate relationships and personal history - interact. She is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a structured, skills-based approach for processing traumatic experiences and building coping strategies, and in Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), an approach that supports tailoring evidence-based interventions to meet complex needs. These trainings inform her work with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, as well as with children and adolescents who have neurodevelopmental differences such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflicts, addiction concerns, grief, parenting challenges, LGBT issues, intimacy and self-esteem. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and Topy offers collaborative support to help clients pursue a more fulfilling life.
