My name is Alison Brody and I am a Community Chaplain and social worker. I am endorsed as a chaplain by The Humanist Society and have worked and volunteered in hospitals, nursing homes, and prisons in the New York area. 


As a Chaplain I am (literally) freely available to have short talks with you about parts of life that connect with your spirituality, including:
  • ethical concerns and practice;
  • finding spiritual support during times of stress and mourning;
  • integrating spirituality within your relationships;
  • assessing your spiritual beliefs and aligning your actions with your beliefs; 
  • reflecting on past experiences of trauma and integrating within your spiritual life today;
  • finding spiritual support during times of substance or behavioral abuse

For a little over 40 years I have been a social worker in New York City, participating in supporting people living on the streets, in public hospitals, and in community-based organizations. 

I am registered as a marriage officiant in New York City, and meet with couples to discuss their readiness to marry, prepare for commitment ceremonies, and to officiate at weddings.
