Hello, I am Jerome Land, a licensed social worker with a Doctorate of Social Work degree from Capella University, and two master’s degrees from Kean and Montclair State Universities. As a social worker I have experience working with families involved with child protective services, adults and children in crisis and experiencing mental health crises and students in school settings experiencing various issues. Within the field of social work, I have been employed at DYFS which is now DCP&P, in a few hospital emergency rooms as a mental health screener and as the emergency room social worker. I have also worked in education as a school social worker providing services to all students and eventually working specifically with students with Individualized Education Plans. With my experiences my goal is to help you obtain your goals. The strategies I believe in utilizing are those that are focused on identifying your strengths, cognitive-behaviorally based and focusing on solutions. I commend you in taking the first step in trying to get help and to improve your situation. Without obtaining help from numerous people, I could not assist you. With me your voice and feelings matter, and I will do my best to hear you and support you. Maya Angelou stated, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” It is my goal to try to help you reach your goals and help you remember how that feels. I welcome the opportunity to work with you and I wish you well.
