Welcome, I’m Susan Rardon Rose

Your Grief Support Coach, Mental Health Educator, and School Counselor in Louisville

Grounded in Louisville, Serving This Community With Heart

Louisville isn’t just where I work, it’s where I live, love, and believe in the power of showing up for one another. My work as a grief support coach, school counselor in Louisville, and mental health educator is personal. I’ve walked through loss. I’ve sat with struggling students. And I’ve watched educators give everything they have without the tools they need. That’s why I do this.

Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one or you’re an educator looking for deeper support in the classroom, I bring trauma-informed, heart-centered care to Louisville individuals, families, and schools.

School Counseling and SEL Support That Reaches the Whole Child

Students need more than grades. They need connection, safety, and emotional skills. As a school counselor in Louisville, I partner with local educators to build environments where students can truly thrive.

My services include:

  • SEL training for teachers in Louisville
  • Trauma-informed school training for local districts
  • School counseling consulting services customized to your school culture
  • Educational consultation for school counselors in Louisville

Through these services, I help schools create sustainable systems that support emotional growth, resilience, and academic growth in children. I also serve as a school counselor, coach, and mentor, working with school professionals to deepen their impact and build confidence in their roles.

Faith-Informed Grief Coaching That Meets You Where You Are

Grief has no map. When I lost my husband, I had every professional tool, and it was still hard. That’s why my grief coaching services in Louisville aren’t just built on credentials. They’re built on lived experience.

I support individuals through:

  • Louisville grief support for widows
  • Christian grief coaching when requested
  • Faith and grief recovery pathways that honor personal beliefs
  • Guidance on the grief journey through personalized coaching
  • Coaching sessions with a grief and trauma education consultant lens

Whether you’re coping with a recent loss or facing long-standing sorrow, my bereavement coaching in Louisville is quiet, steady, and designed to walk with you at your pace.

When You’re Carrying Too Much, Let’s Unpack It Together

Sometimes you don’t need a diagnosis, you just need a space to sort through the weight you’re carrying. My mental health coaching in Louisville provides that space.

I offer:

  • Coaching for mental health that supports clarity and balance
  • Goal-based sessions focused on emotional resilience
  • Support for teachers, caregivers, and professionals navigating burnout
  • Practical strategies for managing stress, decision fatigue, and emotional overwhelm
  • Online mental health counseling–style support for those who prefer remote sessions

This is not therapy, but it is powerful. Mental health coaching gives you space to reflect, reset, and move forward with support.

Let’s Build Stronger Schools, Together

I believe in Louisville’s schools and in the educators working every day to make them better. Through mental health education in schools, grief support for students, and staff development workshops, I offer tools that help both students and teachers thrive.

Let’s work together to bring lasting emotional wellness into your building through:

  • Mental health workshops for schools in Louisville
  • One-on-one coaching for educators and school counselors
  • Professional development that blends emotional intelligence with real classroom needs
  • Parent engagement strategies and emotional safety planning

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between grief coaching and therapy?

Grief coaching focuses on helping you move forward with practical support, emotional guidance, and reflective tools. It doesn’t involve diagnosing or treating mental health disorders like therapy does. Instead, grief coaching gives you space to talk through your loss, gain clarity, and explore personal healing, especially if you’re feeling stuck but not in crisis. My approach combines faith-informed care and lived experience to support you through the grief journey in a way that’s compassionate, structured, and entirely personalized.

Do you offer grief support specifically for widows or those who have lost a spouse?

Yes. After losing my husband, I found myself on a personal and professional mission to support others walking a similar path. I offer grief support for widows in Louisville that honors both your love and your loss. Whether it’s early grief or you’ve been carrying it for years, we’ll work together gently to find hope, meaning, and new grounding, without rushing or minimizing your experience.

How can schools benefit from SEL training and trauma-informed practices?

When teachers and school leaders are equipped with tools for social-emotional learning and trauma-informed school training, the entire culture of a school shifts, students feel safer, communication improves, and learning becomes more accessible. I offer SEL training for teachers in Louisville, Kentucky, and Lexington that’s interactive, relatable, and immediately useful in the classroom. These sessions help schools create environments where academic growth, emotional regulation, and healthy relationships can all take root together.

Is mental health coaching right for me if I don’t have a diagnosed condition?

Absolutely. Mental health coaching in Louisville is designed for people who may not need therapy but still want support. If you’re feeling emotionally overloaded, facing big life transitions, or simply want help managing stress and daily demands, coaching can offer a steady, safe space. It’s especially helpful for teachers, caregivers, and professionals who give a lot but don’t always take time to recharge. You don’t have to carry everything alone. Coaching gives you room to reflect, reset, and grow.
