Alicia Marcos Birong

I have over 30 years of experience, with my Masters in Counseling from Loyola University, Chicago and certifications in Clinical Master Hypnotherapy, Professional Life coaching, Hypnotherapy Training and a Certified NGH. (National Guild pf Hypnotists) I have had the opportunity to present at the NGH international, Mid-America and ACHE (American Counsel of Hypnosis Examiners) international Conferences; speaking on my specialty; Pediatric Hypnosis.
My favorite part about me though is my family! I have two children and two grandchildren! They are the reason I decided to do everything I have done with my life. I am the founder and owner of Guided Choices, my private family Life Coaching and hypnotherapy practice.
During the summer and school seasons, I also run an afterschool program I wrote called 'Changing the chatter" or "Chatter Girls". This program was written specifically with our daughters in mind and helps them walk through middle and high school with grace and confidence. Self confidence is lacking in our children and it is my life's goal to bring it back!

My Childhood and my children and grandchildren are my inspiration for everything I do! I love to hep families work through the hard seasons and become the best version of themselves!

“Parenting isn’t easy but working with Alicia has helped me a better single parent. Our daughter has made Major improvements in her school work. Since seeing Alicia she is significantly better, her teacher has seen major improvement with grades and marks on effort.“
