Sarah Covert, AMFT

Sarah helps children, teens, and adults understand what they’re feeling, develop practical coping tools, and build lasting skills for wellness. Sarah draws on proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based work, and play therapy to help kids move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.

Sarah knows how important it is to feel supported through life’s hardest moments. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, she brings both professional training and personal compassion to her work. She earned her master’s degree in counseling psychology from Santa Clara University while raising her two children, giving her a deep understanding of the challenges families face. Sarah has walked alongside people of all ages through grief, loss, and trauma as part of a grief-support nonprofit’s clinical team in Palo Alto. She also has years of experience helping children and teens thrive in numerous settings, including as a school therapist at the elementary, middle and high school levels.

Sarah is a Palo Alto native, and loves to explore California’s natural beauty. She also loves to travel, and has lived abroad for many years. She enjoys reading, learning, outdoor adventure, and making music with her family.
