About us and Healthy divorce

 

LOOKING BACK TWELVE YEARS

Like most new business ventures, The Alpha Center developed as the result of an entrepreneur believing she could create a new and better approach to resolving an age old problem: in this case, divorce.

Keila Gilbert, Esquire, formed The Alpha Center following her own experience with divorce. She was convinced that there had to be a better and healthier way to divorce that would benefit the family as a whole as well as the divorcing partners. Of particular concern was the children’s emotional well being as well as the positive effects for the spouses as they transition to a new stage in their lives.

She started The Alpha Center despite those who said that divorce could only be handled and 'won' through litigation. Fueled by the desire to create a new approach Ms. Gilbert's strategy was to form a focus group by pulling together professionals from the fields of law, psychology and accounting and talking to couples who had gone through litigated divorces. Together they brainstormed about how they could improve the divorce process for those couples whose marriages were ending. The answer they found was mediation-- not litigation --and in 1994 the first Alpha Center office opened its doors in Doylestown, PA. Ms. Gilbert and her staff helped couples to consider how mediation could better serve their family needs and went one step further by providing therapists and accountants to assist during a family's transition.

Six years ago, Ms Gilbert used her teaching skills to develop a series of education programs about divorce that were provided through community schools. After receiving many requests, programs were developed for teachers, therapists and human resource professionals to deal with the effects of divorce and marital strife.

PREDICTING THE NEXT TEN YEARS

In a little over a decade, Alpha Center has grown to eight offices in Pennsylvania and six offices in New Jersey and will soon be expanding to New York. The demand for Alpha Center education programs and services is rapidly accelerating. In the next five years, the goal is to grow to serve individuals, professionals and organizations nationwide.
