Around 7% of children aged 3–17 experience anxiety each year, according to NAMI.

That number may seem small, until it’s your child. Then it feels overwhelming, confusing, and hard to know how to respond.

Anxiety can look different in kids. Sometimes it’s stomach aches before school, refusing to join activities, meltdowns over small things, or endless “what if” questions. They might not have the words to explain what they’re feeling, but their behavior often tells the story.

At Rise Up, we support both kids and parents in learning how to navigate anxiety. If you’re unsure where to start, we’re here. Schedule your free 15-minute consultation through our website today to see if Rise Up is right for your family.

Your family is okay… but are you?

You’ve kept everything moving... the schedules, the meals, the homework, the appointments. On the outside, it looks like you’re managing just fine. But inside? You’re stretched thin. Snapping more easily. Lying awake at night with a mind that won’t quiet down. You’re not in full crisis, but you can feel how close you are to falling apart.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Counseling can give you the space to untangle the weight you’ve been holding before it boils over. Schedule your free 15-minute consultation through our website today to see if Rise Up is right for you.

When someone you care about is struggling with anxiety, it’s easy to feel helpless, like you need the perfect words or the perfect solution to make it better. But the truth is, you don’t have to fix anything. You don’t have to have all the answers.

What matters most is that they know you’re there. Listening without judgment. Sitting through the discomfort with them. Offering patience when they can’t find it for themselves. Even when it feels like you’re not doing enough, your presence is often exactly what they need.

If you know someone struggling with chronic anxiety and looking to take the next step, let them know we’re here. They can schedule a free 15-minute consultation through our website to see if Rise Up is the right fit.

With the constant barrage of notifications, emails, and social media updates, it's no wonder that excessive screen time can take a toll on our mental health, particularly when it comes to anxiety. Studies show that prolonged exposure to screens can disrupt sleep patterns, increase stress levels, and exacerbate feelings of anxiety.

Setting boundaries around your screen time is key. You can start by designating tech-free zones in your home, such as the dinner table or bedroom, to create space for relaxation and connection. Consider implementing screen-free hours before bed to promote better sleep. And don't forget to prioritize activities that nourish your mind and body, like reading a book, going for a walk, or spending time with family and friends.

If you're struggling with chronic anxiety and need support, reach out to Rise Up for guidance and counseling tailored to your needs. Schedule your free 15-minute consultation with us today to see if Rise Up is right for you.

Summer is a great time to prioritize your sleep and relaxation. According to the CDC, about 35% of American adults aren't getting enough sleep. Chronic anxiety can alter our ability to get a full night of sleep, but counseling can treat this. On top of counseling, here are some recommendations from the Anxiety and Depression Association of America to help you get better sleep:

💤 Exercise Regularly
💤 Eliminate Ni****ne
💤 Reduce Alcohol Intake
💤 Limit Screen Time
💤 Practice Mindfulness

You don’t need hours of free time or a perfect plan. Just 20 minutes of focused, playful connection with your child can shift the whole tone of your relationship.

For many parents, especially those who didn’t grow up with a strong model of play, it can feel awkward or even unnatural at first. But play isn’t about doing it “right" - it’s about showing up. Letting your child lead. Creating a space where imagination, movement, and laughter feel safe and encouraged.

At Rise Up, we support parents in reconnecting with their playful side, even if it’s been a while. Because play isn’t just fun, it’s how kids process emotions, build confidence, and feel close to the people who matter most. Head to our website today to schedule your free consultation to see if Rise Up is right for you.

Wanting the best for your child is a beautiful thing. But when high expectations start to overshadow emotional connection, it can create distance, especially for kids who are sensitive, anxious, or struggling silently.

Many parents we work with (including those in sports, academics, or high-achieving households) don’t realize how much pressure their child feels. That pressure can show up as anxiety, perfectionism, or even burnout.

At Rise Up, we work with families to build connection not just compliance. You don’t have to lower your standards. But you can learn to lead with warmth, safety, and support. Head to our website today to schedule your free 15-minute consultation to see if Rise Up is right for you.

Starting over in a new place can feel exciting… but also uncertain. New routines, unfamiliar streets, fewer familiar faces, it’s a lot to process, even if the move was a positive one.

If you’ve recently landed in Maine and feel untethered, you’re not alone. Whether it’s homesickness, anxiety, or just feeling “off,” therapy can offer a steady place to land while you adjust. At Rise Up, we support people in transition, especially those who appear to be handling it all, but are holding a lot beneath the surface.

Graduating, whether from high school or college, can bring a wave of emotions. Excitement, pride... and also fear, pressure, and uncertainty. Entering the workforce or starting a new path can feel overwhelming when everyone around you seems to have a plan.

Here’s the truth: most people don’t.
You’re allowed to be unsure. You’re allowed to feel anxious. But you also deserve to move forward with clarity and support.

If chronic anxiety is making this transition harder than it needs to be, we’re here for you. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if counseling is right for this next chapter in your journey.

Unstructured time, where there’s no agenda, no performance, no screens, is crucial for mental health and development. It’s when creativity blooms, emotions get processed, and nervous systems reset.

In a world of constant stimulation and pressure to “keep up,” kids need space to simply be. Boredom isn’t a problem to solve, it’s often the doorway to self-regulation, imagination, and emotional resilience.

At Rise Up, we support kids and teens through play-based care that honors their developmental needs, not just their schedules. If your child is struggling, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation through our website today.

Hot weather can increase your cortisol levels (your body's main stress hormone), especially when you’re not staying cool, hydrated, or rested. And when cortisol is running high, it’s a lot easier to distort your thoughts. You might catastrophize, jump to conclusions, or feel like everything is urgent—even when it’s not.

If you’ve been feeling more anxious lately, you're not alone. The heat can be a real trigger.
So take care of your nervous system: drink cold water, rest in the shade, cool down your body, and if you notice that your brain’s in survival mode, schedule your free 15-minute consultation through our website today to see if Rise Up is right for you.

There’s a reason everything feels a little lighter in summer. More sunlight doesn’t just brighten your day, it supports your brain too. Exposure to natural light helps regulate mood, boost energy, improve sleep, and balance your nervous system.

And while kids may have permission to play all summer, adults need it just as much. You’re allowed to step outside, move your body, soak up the sun, and let yourself enjoy the season. Not everything has to be productive to be good for you. If you’ve been waiting for permission to play, this is it.

If you've been struggling with chronic anxiety, schedule your free 15-minute consultation through our website today to see if Rise Up is right for you.
