About us
Kris Rinkenberger MA, NBCC, LCPC, CCATP, CCTP
With grace, understanding, and support, I seek to help clients understand how their past has shaped them, discover how ensnaring behaviors began (and continue) and then to restore dignity, well-being, and relationships.
My goal is to work with clients to heal from past wounds, address issues of personal faith, explore and address thoughts and emotions, and move forward to a hopeful and fulfilled future. And, of course, to offer a little humor along the way.

Allison L. Schieferle Uhlenbrock, MA, NCC, LCPC, CCATP-CA
My joy as a counselor comes from helping clients recognize what they want, and supporting them as they pursue the path that is right for them. My intention is to provide evidence-based interventions and partner with my clients.
I have experience working with individuals who have chronic and life-limiting diagnoses, and believe strongly in the companioning model of processing grief. I use play, art, and writing to help children and teenagers process their experiences and feelings. I am also trained in supporting survivors of sexual assault, and have experience with LGBTQ issues.

My goal as a counselor is to build a partnership with my clients to create a safe space to process through their hardships and struggles. My intention is to help clients find a path they are comfortable with and feel empowered moving forward with their lives.
Graduating from University of Illinois Springfield with my Master’s Degree in Human Development Counseling, I have roughly 10 years of clinical experience. I am certified in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. With this specialized training, I focus on infertility, all stages of pregnancy, postpartum anxiety and depression, as well as pregnancy and infant loss.
I am experienced in a variety of settings, including communities, schools, and the primary care setting. I have worked side by side with clients to navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD management techniques, creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, as well as grief and loss. Working with clients of all ages and families, I utilize many different evidence based techniques, including play and sand tray therapies for children and adolescents, writing and journaling techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as motivational interviewing. I am trained in EMDR and am trauma informed.
Charlotte Uteg Haning, MA, LCPC
I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and families become the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves. I focus on fostering strong, trusting relationships by providing a therapeutic space that is safe, supportive, and free from judgement. I believe in working collaboratively with individuals and families in order to help create a path for realistic and lasting change.
My approach to treatment varies based on the unique needs of the individuals and families I work with. I practice from a strength-based perspective and meet clients where they are with understanding and empathy. I enjoy engaging children through play, movement, and creative activities.
I have experience working with a range of issues and disorders including attachment difficulties, behavioral challenges, ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, trauma, and general life stress. I welcome and support those that identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. I often incorporate social/communication skill development, psychoeducation, and parent coaching into my work with families. I am in the process of becoming Level I and II certified in EMDR.
I received a Master of Arts from Bradley University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois. Prior to working in private practice, I provided community-based counseling services with children and adults involved in the child welfare system. I have also worked with children and families coping with a range of emotional and physical disabilities. Additionally, I supervised a team of clinicians working with families in the community. Personally, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, trying new recipes, and playing tennis when the weather allows.
Whether you have experience with therapy or this is your first time, I strive to provide a safe and comfortable space for everyone. My multidisciplinary approach will look at all areas of your life, using your strengths and values to meet your needs. As a therapist, I have worked in community mental health with serious mental illness, hospitals and primary care settings with a diverse population. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, strength based, solution focused, mindfulness and DBT techniques. I am trained in EMDR and am trauma informed. I work with teens and adults on a wide variety of issues such as: grief and loss of all kinds, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, depression, difficulty with life adjustments and changes, trauma, motivation to make necessary changes in life and I am an LGBTQ ally.
