How it works

Three steps to receive a service

No referral is required. All services are by appointment only.

01

Make a request

You must submit a service request yourself, using the online form or by telephone. You may place your name on two waiting lists.

02

Phone questionnaire

A clinical worker will contact you to complete a 30-minute questionnaire, to see whether the Centre’s services meet your needs.

03

Group or individual

Therapy aims to help you resolve difficulties, face your situation, avoid hospitalisation, and rebuild autonomy and self-esteem.

Sharing

A voice from the centre

« I'm extremely grateful for my experience at Expression LaSalle. Group therapy is already so dynamic to me and with the added elements of art, music or drama it's also exciting and challenging. I feel like I'm participating in a shared and individual experience. Taking a journey into the unknown with a creative guide and beautiful travel companions. »
