Alicia J. Porkka, LICSW 

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of New Hampshire, Durham in 2018. Prior to pursuing my career in social work, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, also at UNH. It was during this time that I began to appreciate the intersection of psychotherapy and existential philosophy, and the early notions of Life Examined began to form.

I have worked in a variety of mental healthcare settings, including community mental health, in-patient substance use disorder treatment, and adolescent wilderness therapy. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, and all other types of adventuring with my son and daughter.
