Helping People Help Themselves
The Healthy Lifestyles Guided Self-Change Program, a specialty outpatient program at Nova Southeastern University's (NSU) Psychology Services Center, offers a unique short-term, evidence-based, non-12 step alternative treatment not available elsewhere in Florida. This motivational cognitive-behavioral program was established in 1984 in Canada by Drs. Linda and Mark Sobell, and brought to Nova Southeastern University in 1996. Both Dr. Linda and Dr. Mark Sobell are licensed psychologists in Florida and have their Diplomates in Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology, American Board of Professional Psychology.

Services are offered for people concerned about becoming healthier, losing weight, exercising more, drinking less, developing better relationships, quitting smoking, procrastinating less, quitting gambling, or stopping drug use. This evidence-based, motivational program empowers people to take responsibility for their own change and has been evaluated in several clinical studies. Services are available in English and Spanish. A sliding fee scale is available. The number of sessions is variable and determined by individual client needs. Individuals who are interested in services or more information can call the program directly at (954) 262-5968 or email us at gsc@nova.edu. Individuals are usually seen within 24-48 hours of their first call to the program. The program is open Monday through Thursday 9 am to 8 pm and Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
