Who we are
Life is full of moments that feel like impossible battles—challenges that seem too big to overcome alone. At Boss Battle Therapy, we believe that therapy is like having a trusted healer in your party, guiding you through life’s toughest encounters. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, addiction, or just trying to navigate the twists and turns of life, we’re here to help you “level up” and conquer your personal boss battles.
Our approach is down-to- earth, relatable, and, most importantly, effective. We integrate evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to create a personalized experience that meets you where you are. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating—it can be engaging, insightful, and even empowering.
At Boss Battle Therapy, we welcome individuals, couples, and anyone looking to gain a better understanding of themselves. We especially love working with fellow geeks, gamers, neurodivergent individuals, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, but our doors are open to all who seek support. Whether you’re facing stress, burnout, relationship struggles, or self-doubt, we’re here to help you take the next step forward.
Erich Okonowski, MA, LLP
Founder & Lead Therapist
The journey to becoming a therapist started with an offhand comment: “You should be a shrink.” That suggestion sparked curiosity, and after researching the field, I realized that helping people through therapy was exactly what I wanted to do.
I’ve spent years working in Community Mental Health, the prison system, and private practice, supporting people through a wide range of challenges. My approach to therapy is laid-back yet structured—I create a space where clients feel comfortable opening up, while still incorporating strategies that promote real growth. I integrate Behavioral Psychology, CBT, mindfulness, ACT, and DBT, tailoring each session to what my clients need.
I work with adults and couples, specializing in anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, and general life stressors. I have a deep appreciation for geek culture and often bring gaming and pop culture references into sessions to make therapy feel natural and engaging.
Outside of therapy, I’m a passionate gamer, board game enthusiast, and LARPer (15 years and counting!) I’m also a father, always discovering new adventures with my wife and our growing little one.
If you’re on the fence about therapy, I get it—taking that first step can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges and become the best version of yourself.
