Judith Alfano, MSW, LCSW is an adjunct professor at Monmouth University and a therapist in private practice, both online and in the coastal communities of New Jersey. Her research and professional interests are spiritual formation, the integration of psychology and religion, and women’s health and well-being.

Judith’s therapeutic approach is deeply relational, grounded in psychodynamic theory and integrating narrative, somatic and cognitive behavioral approaches. For those who wish to draw on their faith, Judith is dedicated to wisely integrating the Christian faith with professional psychological therapies.

Earlier in her career, Judith held key roles in marketing, HR and communications at organizations ranging from an established energy company to higher ed and a tech start-up. She later transitioned to clinical mental health, working in multiple counseling centers where she supported those experiencing anxiety, grief and those impacted by trauma and abuse. Along the way, Judith explored other paths to join her community in healing and recovery.

One of those paths is cooking. Judith is interested in the intersection of cooking, spirituality and mental health, and completed a professional culinary program as well as continuing education courses in functional nutrition and integrative care for cancer survivors and those with chronic illness.
