About Us

Founded in 2012 by Terrance and Joan McGoy, The Managed Mind began providing Applied Meditation and Scripting services in a Washington, D.C., physician's office as a complementary resource for patients experiencing stress-related challenges. Together, the co-founders bring more than 45 experience working directly with young people, families, and individuals facing behavioral and personal challenges. Both are longtime meditation practitioners who incorporate Meditation Scripting into their own lives to support personal growth, constructive behavior, and well-reasoned decision-making.

The Managed Mind was founded with understanding that life's challenges and adversities are unavoidable and often necessary for growth and personal development. Learning to accept and appreciate their value, rather than automatically reacting negatively, allows one to approach difficult circumstances more constructively. Through Applied Meditation Technology (AMT), The Managed Mind combines the science and practical application of meditation with to help individuals deprogram habitual stress responses. This structured approach supports greater self-awareness, personal responsibility, and positive behavioral change.

In a calm, respectful, and confidential setting, clients learn to examine established patterns of thought and behavior, develop more constructive responses, maintain composure under pressure, and make deliberate choices that support their goals and well-being. Today, The Managed Mind extends its services beyond the physician's office through personal development and coaching, physician referrals, and organizational workshops. Across these settings, its purpose remains consistent: to help individuals move beyond automatic stress reactions and develop peaceful, well-reasoned responses to life's challenges and opportunities.
