Meet The Team
Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy, Training and Advocacy
Our Story
After many years of research and teaching in University settings, Wendy McGuire made an abrupt mid-life career change to work with the neurodivergent. There were few, if any, services for neurodivergent adults at the time. She wanted to change that. It was personal. Wendy is a mom, friend, colleague, teacher, and therapist to neurodivergent people of all ages and walks of life. And so Scattergram was founded – where neurodivergence is the norm.

I provide traditional counselling services for mental health struggles (anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-harm, sex and gender identity stuff, etc.). I also provide non-traditional counselling based on my understanding of how neuroatypical brains and nervous systems work.
Meet the Therapists
Scattergram Associates are deeply committed to bringing a fresh approach to the growth and wellbeing of neurodivergent youth and adults. Each Associate receives in-depth training in Scattergram’s A.C.C.E.P.T. Program™ neurodiversity-affirming treatment model while using modified Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed, Intersectional, LGBTQ2SI+-Affirming, and Strengths-Based approaches. And each therapist also has their own skills, professional expertise, and experience, which you can find on their bio page.
We will collaborate with you to increase your understanding of your neurodivergent operating system (or that of your loved one), build skills in cross-neurotype communication (that doesn’t involve masking), and experience deep, authentic connection. These three pillars form the foundation of the ACCEPT modality.

Michael's Story...
I’m a Registered Social Worker with a heart for helping adults (30+) who think and perceive differently, particularly those with ADHD/Neurodivergence or those who may identify as Twice or Thrice exceptional. I also support those experiencing the complex challenges of substance use. My Neurodivergent experience has profoundly influenced my passion for sharing space in therapy with other neurodivergent people.

I am an occupational therapist with a whole-being approach to supporting individuals to engage more fully in the everyday activities that matter most to them.

Above all, I offer care that is relevant, empowering, transparent, and created to bring greater ease and confidence to children and their families.
