Thank you for visiting.

My name is Alison Brody Alpert, and I am a community chaplain and social worker.

Alison Brody Alpert

I am trained and licensed in New York as a community-based, clinical social work therapist (LCSW).  People who meet with me for counseling use their insurance ~ I accept most insurance plans. 

I work with cognitive approaches to support emotional and spiritual well-being. Here is an overview of cognitive exercises you can try ~ these are similar to what I use in my work.

When my schedule is full, I am glad to help you get connected with in-network mental health counseling services that accept your insurance. If you would like some help finding therapy options in New York that will work with your insurance coverage (including Medicaid), please click on this link.

I am endorsed by The Humanist Society as a Chaplain, and am board certified by The Spiritual Care Association. 

As a chaplain, I talk with people about advance care and end-of-life planning ~ we talk about clarifying healthcare options, completing Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) documents, preferences for burial and cremation, and clarifying beliefs and wishes. Here is an overview of what we can discuss.

I do not charge for these conversations. If you would like to know more about talking with me about advance care and/or end-of-life planning, please click on this link.

I correspond as a volunteer chaplain with and write letters of support and advocacy for people who are incarcerated ~ I do not charge any fees.

If you are have a loved one who would like some additional support, please use this form to contact me ~ the form also gives my address, and you can feel free to pass that along to someone you know in prison.
