*Rise Up does not accept insurance. We are a self-pay only counseling service provider. In order to provide the best care to our clients, we made the decision to end our contracts with insurance providers.
Our providers will facilitate the strengthening of your own voice as guidance to pursue your unique path.
Your Experience at Rise Up
When you choose to become a client at Rise Up®, you will be heard. You will create your path forward with our team teaching skills, promoting strengths use and encouraging you along the way. The journey of counseling is yours, and providers will facilitate the strengthening of your own voice as guidance to pursue your unique path.
Our clients come to us feeling anxious and overwhelmed with thoughts focused on worst case scenario “what ifs” keeping them up at night. Stress has taken a toll on the body, including intense digestive and cardiac experiences. Self-doubt and judgments dominate. Avoiding in order to accommodate anxiety has impacted lifestyle, often limiting trying new things, decision making, meeting new people and living the best life possible.
Does this sound familiar? If so, contact Rise Up® to begin rising up above the grip anxiety has. You can expect to gain from counseling a sense of self and confidence in your ability to manage symptoms and stressors. Our clients learn skills that allow them to increase self-advocacy, participation in social situations and improved decision making strategies.
Meet Our Counselors
Becca Ellis, LCPC
B.A. Psychology, University of Maine, Farmington, 2015
M.S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling, University of Southern Maine, 2021
Becca’s passion is to help people be their best selves. This can be as a parent in how to best support their children, a child in how to understand and address anxiety, depression, and challenging behaviors, or as an adult regarding life’s transitions or healing from pain. She is uniquely gifted, focusing on pattern recognition and the ways in which we form habits that are sometimes less helpful than we would like. With a focus on how our thoughts impact our behavior, Becca works with her clients to help them find their own path to freedom and a sense of thriving.
With a specific passion for helping parents, Becca has advanced training and expertise in helping those wishing to raise the children in their care to be resilient, open-minded human beings. This focus acknowledges that parenting is hard, and it often leaves parents feeling alone. Parent support is a structured process of identifying your values and challenges in parenting, then creating a clear plan forward to address your parenting goals.

Timothy A. Eachus, LMSW-cc
B.A. Music, Samford University, 2010
M.S.W. Advanced Clinical Practice, Walden University, 2023
Timothy likes to help people become their own best teachers.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ and adoption communities, Timothy also has a passion for helping those who sometimes struggle to find a provider that understands their situation or experience. Whether you are looking to understand yourself for the first time, answer questions you’ve had about yourself, or are looking to move out of feeling stuck in habits and loops that aren’t helpful, Timothy looks forward to working with you to uncover your uniqueness and find a sense of thriving.
Catherine Henning, LCSW
B.S. Therapeutic Recreation, University of Southern Maine, 2012
M.S.W. University of Southern Maine, 2021
Catherine is an experienced, passionate clinician who has a focus on acute needs regarding substance use and trauma. Often, but not always, these two areas of treatment intersect, and Catherine feels strongly about helping her clients understand themselves and what propels them forward. She comes to her current practice with experience in intensive outpatient programs and substance use treatment.
While substance use and trauma are of major focus, Catherine is equally passionate about helping people with anxiety, grief, sleep disturbance, and emotional wellbeing. Whether working with a child, adolescent or adult, she uses a research-informed approach, incorporating skill development, self-discovery, expression, and mindfulness. You’ll also find Catherine to be a compassionate, empathetic person, seeing you as you are, where you are, without judgment. It is through that perspective that clients often find their own ability to be kind and compassionate to themselves.

Marie Abrahams, LCPCc
B.A. Environmental Policy, Colby College, 2014
M.S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling, University of Southern Maine, 2023
Marie looks to help people understand their emotional state and find greater wellbeing. Whether it is in helping a couple recognize patterns of communication that no longer serve them, to a teenager experiencing intense and confusing emotional responses, Marie’s practice focuses on softening rigidity and finding hope in the processes of exploration, acceptance, and change. Her work with clients explores all areas of life, from the beautiful moments to the difficult challenges that come our way. Marie believes that it is through the process of curious exploration that we find authenticity and our own inner strength to thrive.
Before becoming a counselor, Marie spent a decade working in outdoor adventure programs–environments that lend themselves to forging deep connections with others and the natural world. The healing that she witnessed, which was often therapeutic, stood out to her and helped her realize the kind of outcomes possible in counseling that is rooted in deep emotion and connection. It is through this emotionally focused, humanistic lens that she views her work with her clients.
