About Reformed Movement & Psychotherapy
Megan Heywood, LPC, NCC
Megan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (AZBBHE) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). Megan has 10 years of experience helping adults heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Arizona State University and her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix.
Her work blends traditional talk therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and a specialized body–movement psychotherapy approach that integrates principles of sensorimotor psychotherapy, mindfulness-based exercise, self-regulation, and trauma-informed care. This combination helps clients regulate their nervous systems, process emotional experiences, and build lasting mind–body resilience.
A comprehensively trained Pilates instructor with five years of personal practice and two years of teaching group and private classes, Megan incorporates mindful movement into her sessions for clients who benefit from a more experiential approach to healing. She works with anxiety, depression, religious trauma, parenting and caregiver challenges, and the lingering impact of chronic stress.
Megan offers both in-person and telehealth sessions in a safe, affirming space for all sexual orientations, religions, gender identities, and world views. She is known for her warm, direct, and humor-infused style, making the therapeutic process approachable and deeply human.
Outside of her professional work, Megan loves reading (often with a Starbucks in hand), Pilates, traveling—especially to Disney parks—and spending time with her husband, two children, and beloved dogs.
Somatic/Body Psychotherapy
Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that recognizes the deep connection between the mind and body. Rather than focusing solely on thoughts and emotions, somatic therapy also works with the body’s physical sensations, posture, movement patterns, and nervous system responses. It’s often used to help process trauma, manage stress, and improve self-regulation by addressing how experiences are stored not just in the mind, but also in the body. Through gentle awareness practices, mindfulness-based movement, and guided techniques, clients learn to release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with their bodies in a safe, supportive environment.
Traditional Psychotherapy
Traditional psychotherapy—often called “talk therapy”—provides a safe, supportive space to explore thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. This process can help you gain insight, develop coping skills, improve relationships, and create lasting change. My approach is tailored to each client and may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care.
In addition to talk therapy, I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—an evidence-based, eye-movement therapy that helps clients process and resolve distressing memories quickly, often in just a few sessions. ART can be especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, grief, and phobias, offering lasting relief without requiring you to share every detail of your experience.
Pilates Private Training
Reformer Pilates offers a dynamic, full-body workout designed to build strength, improve flexibility, and enhance alignment. Using spring-based resistance on the Reformer machine, each exercise is tailored to meet your individual needs—whether your goal is to increase core stability, recover from injury, or elevate athletic performance. With mindful movement and precise control, Reformer Pilates not only helps you move better and feel stronger, but also supports calming and focusing the mind—bringing balance to both body and mind.
