For one reason or another, you’ve found yourself here.

Why not trust your intuition and see where it might take you next?


Healing and growth don’t happen in hours. Days, even. Often, it takes a lifetime and a consistent pace. Flexibility, curiosity, experimentation. Understanding and patience and empathy along the way.

Here, wellness is a journey.

Slowly, Surely is a virtual Chicago-based private practice dedicated to holding space for clients ready to begin—or continue—their therapeutic journey.

This space attempts to embody the power of living life a little less in the fast lane. It’s a space to slowly unlearn patterns that no longer serve us and focus more on creating fulfillment—a space dedicated to meeting everyone where they are at in a unique, honest, and empathetic way.

Through various therapeutic approaches and a specialization in trauma-informed care, Slowly, Surely works with those struggling with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, grief, life transitions, or low self-esteem. We all deserve to experience presence daily, learn how to rewrite our narrative, separate ourselves from controlling thoughts, and return to a more genuine and authentic version of ourselves. So why not start here?

Whether you are interested in healing trauma through trauma-informed care or EMDR therapy, have a desire to learn to live in the now, or wish to have a space just for you to process the consistent challenges of life—Slowly, Surely can be that for you.

Meet Kayla Reda, your potential new therapist.
