Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy,
Supervision, and Training
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 Team
Scattergram Associates are deeply committed to bringing a fresh approach to the growth and well-being of neurodivergent youth and adults. Each Associate receives in-depth training in Scattergram’s A.C.C.E.P.T. Program™ modality of neurodiversity-affirming treatment while using modified Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed, Intersectional, LGBTQ2SI+-Affirming, and Strengths-Based approaches. Each therapist also has their own skills, professional expertise, and experience.
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.
Harsha, Pascale, and I have our own unique approaches. Browse the profiles to see who is the right fit for you. If you’re still not sure, contact us to explore your goals and preferences.

Harsha's Story...
I am an Occupational Therapist who works with youth and adults to support them in participating fully in activities that are meaningful to them and bring them joy. I work collaboratively with neurodivergent individuals who are experiencing challenges with work, school, and other daily activities due to difficulties with executive functions, sensory processing differences, or other challenges.
