Let’s Convo!

We are therapists, clinicians, and educators.

We are experts in mental health, relationships, and child and teen development.

We are navigating life, too—as parents, partners, friends, and family.

We founded Convo to serve the middle space: to provide a way to ask questions and get answers when going to a friend or seeking medical treatment doesn’t quite fit the challenge you're facing in your home, school, or practice.

It’s therapy with one important difference: you schedule sessions just when you need them.

“Dr Bocknek helped us as parents focus on our family’s culture and values and situations/lessons/behaviors that reinforce this critical part of our family. There are actually very few hills we need to die on.”

SHERRI, MOM
“As a pediatric clinical psychologist and founder of a child and family therapy practice, I wholly endorse the family-centered supportive and educational services offered by Dr. Erika Bocknek and her associates at Convo. Dr. Bocknek is a leader across the fields of family therapy, child socioemotional development, parenting, and family wellbeing.”

DR. PATRICIA RICHARDSON
“Dr. Erika helped me through a very difficult period of time with my daughter. She sat with me, listened to me, and gave me the best advice. Dr. Erika changed the way I thought about my daughter’s behavior and our relationship. Now, a few months later, my relationship with my daughter is the best it has ever been!”

OLIVIA, MOM OF 2
“Working with Dr. Bocknek was simply amazing! I work for a large University and I invited her to speak to students and colleagues at the start of our term. Her presentation showed how committed she is to taking a strengths-based approach to her work with families. It was apparent from working with her that Dr. Bocknek is a warm, caring and deeply knowledgeable person. The kind of friend and colleague that I wish I had when my children were little!”

BECKY HARLES, MA
Early Childhood Specialist, University of Chicago
“My family and I have worked with Dr. Erika for 17 years ranging from pre-marital counseling to raising neurodiverse children to coping with a major medical crisis to facing childhood trauma and more. Conversations with Dr. Erika (whether they be about her sharing expertise, asking us hard questions, playing with blue sand or making us laugh) leave each of us in our family feeling more human, more informed, and more at peace.”

CATHERINE, MOM
“Dr. Erika has advised me countless times in navigating family and life situations throughout the years. One such time was related to a heated school conflict involving teachers and administrators. With Dr. Erika’s fact-based guidance and ability to see the situation from all angles, I was able to change the trajectory of the situation and work toward the best possible resolution. Every conversation I have had with Dr. Erika on sensitive topics has been with the most loving and non-judgemental approach. I would highly recommend connecting and making Dr. Erika and Convo an integral member of your support team.”

ALANNA
“Dr. Erika has been my greatest guide in parenting ever since my first of three children was born. One of the greatest gifts she taught me was to learn to identify our own family values. It helped me prioritize which battles are worth fighting and which I can simply let go.”

ALLIE, MOM OF 3
