Starting With Rick - What to Expect Before Your First Session
You've done the hard part - you decided to look into this.
This page is your orientation. Before you book, before you show up, before anything begins - here is everything you need to know about how working with Rick actually works. Read through what applies to you and arrive prepared.
Your First Step - The Introductory Session
Everything starts here. The intro session is free, it is 30 minutes, and it is not a sales call. It is a real conversation where we figure out together whether this is the right fit for your situation.
You do not need to have your story sorted. You do not need to agree on anything before you come. You just need to show up.

How We Meet - Virtual or In-Person
Once you decide to begin, you choose how we work together.
Virtual Sessions
Secure Zoom sessions available six days a week - days, evenings, and Saturdays. If you live anywhere in Alberta, this is how most couples work with Rick. No travel, no waiting room. Just focused work from wherever you are.
In-Person Sessions
Prefer to sit across from someone? In-person sessions are available at the Red Deer office on Mondays and Thursdays, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, by appointment only.
If you live outside Red Deer, you are welcome to make the drive. Many couples find the trip worthwhile.

What You Will Learn - RLT Skills
RLT is not just conversation. You will leave each session with real tools - specific skills for slowing conflict down, repairing after a fight, and rebuilding trust in practical, daily ways.
This section explains what those skills are and why they work.
This work only matters if it works for you. Learn who I am, how I show up, and what makes this different and then decide if we’re the right fit.
