Speaking & Presentations

Trauma work, explained by someone doing it.

I'm Jessica Fuller, LCSW, CCTP — a trauma therapist, EMDRIA-trained EMDR provider, and Brainspotting practitioner running a private practice and an intensive practice in New Bern, NC. I speak to clinicians, students, agencies, and community groups about trauma treatment and the realities of building a practice, plainly and without the jargon.

Topics

What I speak on.

Every talk can be shaped to your audience and time slot, from a one-hour lecture to a half-day workshop.

Clinical

Beyond Weekly Therapy: EMDR & Brainspotting Intensives

What intensive formats are, the clinical case for them, who they're right for, how screening and structure keep them safe, and where they fit alongside weekly care.

Clinical

Trauma, PTSD & Complex Trauma

How trauma shows up in the body and the brain, what effective treatment looks like, and how clinicians and systems can respond without retraumatizing.

Clinical & Community

Domestic Violence, First Responders & High-Exposure Work

Trauma-informed responses for the people who survive violence and the people who respond to it — for agencies, departments, and community organizations.

Professional

Building a Private Practice

Self-pay vs. insurance, credentialing, ethics, marketing, and the business decisions grad school skipped — for students, new clinicians, and professional groups.
