Alison Brody Alpert

Thank you for visiting ~

My name is Alison Brody Alpert.

I have been board certified as a chaplain and 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.

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 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 am not currently working with new clients, but I keep a list of therapy services that accept many insurance plans for payment, and am glad to help you get connected with an in-network therapist. If you would like to know about my counseling work, please click on this link, and if you would like to get suggestions for in-network mental health counseling services that accept your insurance, please click on this link.

I am endorsed by The Humanist Society as a Humanist Chaplain and am approved to conduct marriages in New York City ~ other than asking for payment to cover travel expenses, I do not charge for these services.

If you would like to discuss a marriage, please use the form on this website (which also gives my phone number) to get in touch.

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.
