Toppacio Rodriguez, LMFT

Toppacio Rodriguez is an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - with five years of clinical experience supporting children, teens, adults, and couples across diverse economic, cultural, and identity backgrounds. She practices from a systemic perspective, attending to the individual and the relationships and contexts that shape daily life. Certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and in Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), she draws from multiple therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each person or family.

Rodriguez has worked with young people who present with atypical neurodevelopment, including those on the autism spectrum and individuals affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and she has supported survivors of sexual assault and of domestic violence. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting difficulties, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, caregiver stress, attention-related concerns, and other complex presentations.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where practical strategies are developed collaboratively. Rodriguez emphasizes compassionate, strengths-based support to help clients take steps toward a more fulfilling life and to nurture the different aspects of their wellbeing.
