Mary Rodriguez

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Mary relocated to Columbia where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Missouri. She later received her Master’s degree in Social Work with an emphasis in mental health and adolescent services from Washington University in St. Louis. With over 25 years of experience in the field, Mary has worked across multiple populations including individuals, families, adolescents, and the elderly.

Throughout her career, Mary has provided case management and therapy services, and even developed a scholarship to support students who have overcome significant adversity. Her work is rooted in a strong belief in meeting clients where they are and empowering them to reach their highest potential—regardless of their background or circumstances.

Mary is passionate about helping others and hopes to one day establish life skills programming for young adults aging out of the foster care system. She brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and dedication to Kingdom Konnections and is excited to walk alongside the families we serve as a Family Specialist.
