Michael Alter, LCSW
I offer expert consultation for reunification services in family law cases. I founded Reunification Works to better serve families in the complex arena of court involved parent-child contact problems, which conventional therapy was ill equipped to address.
In addition to a clinical social work degree from Bryn Mawr Graduate School in Philadelphia (Oregon license #2201), in 1995, I have done extensive training in parenting coordination through The American Family Institute (OFI) in 2009, court involved cases, resist-refuse dynamics, and other parent-child contact problems, through William James College, and continuing education seminars and workshops through the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC).
I am a member of AFCC, on the Board of AFCC Oregon Chapter, and have presented at family law conferences and DHS workshops. I have provided expert witness testimony in numerous cases. I am committed to assisting children and families embroiled in high conflict post-separation / post-divorce scenarios. I value a non-adversarial approach, exploring multiple perspectives to assess problems within a family, and between families and their respective community ecosystems.

I received my degree in Health Records Management from Central Oregon Community College. I have heard it said that you should be what you wanted to be as a child. I wanted to be a child psychologist, and then an accountant. I believe I am doing a little bit of both with this profession. Helping the therapists who help others is very rewarding to me.
I have owned and operated my Jazzercise franchise for 40 years and that helps me to work with a wide variety of people with varying needs.
