Samuel Fuge is a Licensed Professional Counselor, educator, and doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA. He provides counseling at Dr. Mary Berge and Associates in Johnstown, PA, where his clinical work includes trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), he specializes in working with first responders and other professionals in high-stress environments, combining lived field experience with evidence-based psychological care. His doctoral dissertation in progress examines the role of interpersonal relationships in mitigating burnout among paramedics.

Samuel is also an experienced educator with a strong background in both psychology and health sciences. At Pennsylvania Highlands Community College, he teaches courses that blend psychology with health-science perspectives, emphasizing critical thinking and real-world application. Prior to his counseling career, he was nationally certified as an EMS educator and taught extensively at the Conemaugh School of EMS under the direction of the late Dr. John Karduck, MD. His educational work included training paramedic students, designing integrated out-of-hospital scenarios, leading continuing education programs, and presenting to providers at the local, regional, and national levels.

Samuel’s educational journey reflects both breadth and depth. He began his career in emergency medical services at just 16 years old, completing EMT training at the Conemaugh School of EMS. He went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from West Virginia University in 2010, before returning to Conemaugh to complete paramedic training in 2011.

As a speaker, Samuel brings a rare dual perspective shaped by over 16 years in emergency medical services and years of clinical counseling practice.

His style is research-informed yet accessible, drawing on professional expertise, teaching experience, and frontline credibility to connect with diverse audiences.

With a professional journey that bridges emergency medicine, education, and psychology, Samuel is passionate about building systems of care that promote resilience, reduce burnout, and improve well-being for both providers and the communities they serve. His work reflects a commitment to insight, empowerment, and the belief that growth happens at the intersection of education and lived experience.

Mary Huntly is the Executive Director and owner of Trinity House Calls, a Las Vegas-based healthcare practice providing medical services through both in-office visits and mobile care. With licensure as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Mary Huntly brings a straightforward and dependable approach to healthcare, shaped by hands-on experience and a dedication to meeting patients where they are.

Her career includes leadership in a wide range of medical and caregiving settings. She has managed hospice services, operated a residential group home for individuals with Alzheimer’s, and led a hormone therapy clinic. In addition, she has owned a family medical practice and a mobile healthcare company. These diverse roles have enabled her to develop a well-rounded understanding of patient care, as well as the organizational demands that accompany running healthcare operations.

She provides care across all age groups, addressing a range of health issues from minor to more advanced conditions. Her clinical expertise includes wound care, where she treats diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, and surgical wounds. Her focus remains on providing timely and consistent treatment designed to help patients heal while minimizing complications.

She also spent four years working with the Department of Defense under a top-secret security clearance. That experience strengthened her sense of responsibility and precision, which she now carries into her daily clinical work and practice leadership.

At Trinity Family Practice, she oversees a full spectrum of medical services. These include annual wellness exams, preventive screenings, immunizations, acute illness care, and management of long-term chronic diseases. The practice offers flexibility through telehealth appointments and mobile care visits, ensuring patients have access to the care they need, whether they’re at home, at work, or visiting the clinic.

Additional services include lab testing, medication oversight, sports and school physicals, infection screenings, and care coordination with specialists. Each service is structured to support patient continuity and reduce gaps in communication or treatment.

A major focus of her practice is caring for older people. With experience supporting individuals living with memory challenges, she helps provide care plans tailored to the needs of aging patients. Services include fall risk prevention, cognitive health support, medication safety reviews, and nutritional guidance. Her team works with families to ensure older patients are supported across every dimension of their health.

She also leads efforts in transitional care, helping patients adjust after hospital discharge. Her team prepares discharge plans, reviews medications to prevent errors, schedules follow-up appointments, and educates patients and caregivers on what to expect during the recovery process. These efforts help promote safer healing and reduce the risk of hospital readmission.

She earned her Registered Nurse license in 1999 and became a certified Family Nurse Practitioner in 2018. These milestones reflect years of dedicated learning and a commitment to enhancing patient care in both clinical and community settings.

In her personal life, she remains committed to maintaining her health and engaging in physical activity. She completed the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in Las Vegas in 2023 and participated in the Iron Girl triathlon in 2013. These events reflect her commitment to wellness and her belief in the importance of maintaining physical resilience and mental balance.
