Summary

Megan Earles, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in trauma, attachment, and relational healing. Through her practice, she helps individuals, couples, and families develop emotional regulation, deepen connection, and build resilience after experiences of loss, betrayal, and chronic stress. Megan blends evidence-based therapy with warmth and collaboration, inviting clients to access agency, insight, and healing that feels grounded in real life and sustainable over time.

Dr. Sylvester is a psychiatrist and functional medicine physician whose expertise shapes the neurobiological framework of SST. Drawing from both clinical experience and his own healing journey, he emphasizes the brain-body connection and nervous system regulation. His work highlights how trauma, chronic stress, and toxic exposures impact the limbic and autonomic systems, ensuring that SST is both scientifically grounded and deeply client-centered.
