Her teaching across CACREP-accredited programs spans psychodynamic theory, human development, trauma and theodicy, addictions, and multicultural counseling—underscoring her commitment to holistic and developmentally attuned counselor education.

Whether through her clinical leadership at the Richmont Trauma Counseling Center, her national service roles, or her supervision of future clinicians, Dr. Land embodies a counselor-leader identity grounded in service, scholarship, and transformative care.
