MARCH 12, 2008

BOULDER, CO - Bill Sell, MA, LPC, CGP, founder and Executive Director of Living Well Transitions, died March 10 at his home in Boulder after a long illness. He was 47.

A pioneer in the development of independent living programs for young adults, Sell launched Living Well Transitions in 2004, and turned the innovative therapeutic and counseling program into a successful resource for clients who need help in social skills advancement, community networking and educational and vocational support.

With more than 20 years experience in young adult treatment communities, Sell designed the program to help clients create a healthy and happy life for themselves by using cognitive methods to teach responsible adult behavior and by using therapeutic methods to create awareness of internalized feelings and external behaviors. His independent living model provides an opportunity for clients to transition into adulthood in a real world setting. Sell’s indelible legacy will continue to transform the lives of families and young adults through the ongoing work of Living Well Transitions.

A Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and nationally certified in Group Psychotherapy (CGP) through the American Group Psychotherapy Association, Sell was also an adjunct faculty member of Naropa University in Boulder, where he taught in the Psychology and Religious Studies Departments. He also created a series of continuing education workshops for graduate students on dissociation and trauma. Sell’s presentations on diverse topics such as “Aggression and Impulsivity: Leading Adolescent Talking Groups” and “Psycho-Dynamic Group Therapy With Non-Voluntary Clients,” were acclaimed nationally and locally.

A 1984 graduate of West Chester University in West Chester, PA., with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Sell received a Master of Arts in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University in 1988. An accomplished musician, his passion for songwriting was matched only by his life-long zeal for the Philadelphia Eagles. He is survived by his wife, Tamara; daughters Julia (23), Caroline (15), and Avery (11); mother Marilyn; siblings Leslie, Susan and Michael.
