Fari Willoughby, MA
Each chapter of my life—in Zimbabwe, the UK, and now the U.S.—has revealed the many faces of human suffering, as well as the remarkable resilience of people and communities. In places where there were no professionals to guide individuals through grief, trauma, or systemic hardship, communities showed up for one another. A listening ear, a warm hug, or simply the presence of another person often became lifelines.
Today, I’m honored to be part of the mental health field—where professional support is available for those navigating trauma, loss, life transitions, and identity shifts. My passion lies in walking alongside people who are committed to healing, growing, and reclaiming peace in the wake of life’s disruptions.
I have had the privilege of supporting adolescents and adults (ages 14–75) through concerns such as PTSD, childhood trauma, grief, adjustment issues, anger, relationship challenges (including infidelity), and major life transitions. I welcome clients from all walks of life, and I’m especially drawn to working with older adults (50+), immigrants, and individuals who would like to integrate their Christian faith into therapy.
My approach to therapy is integrative and collaborative. I draw from a variety of modalities to meet each client’s unique needs. I also have a strong interest in facilitating groups, including those focused on grief, forgiveness, psychoeducation, and parenting. I am fluent in English, Shona and Ndebele and would be honored to serve clients in those languages.
