Your Family Therapist, Sara Hadgraft,

Hi, I’m Sara, the founder of Sparrow Counseling!

Sara Hadgraft LMFT, LPC, NCC, AAMFT Supervisor Candidate

I love helping families have hard conversations.  I especially like helping co-parents come together and make decisions in the best interest of their children.  Sometimes parents need to be reminded that they are the parents and have to do the harder things.  I am a mediator.  I am a therapist/counselor.  I am a parent.  I am divorced.  I get this is hard.  But I also understand the peace that can come from co-parenting well.

When your family life feels overwhelming and it is time to begin to have some hard conversations, I can help!

I specialize in Parent Coordination, Co-Parenting Counseling, Reunification Counseling, Discernment Counseling, Blended and Family Counseling, and Couples and Marriage Counseling. I am also now offering Couples Counseling Intensives.

Whatever your age or stage in life at Sparrow Counseling you will be reminded that you have value and that there is a purpose in the struggle and hope is within your reach.

Want TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY Professional TRAINING?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Birmingham, AL.  I have over 25 years of experience working with children and families. I began my professional life with a five-year tenure as a High School teacher. After several years of focused investment in my own children, I began working with the children and families at my local church as a Children’s Coordinator.

In 2015, I received my Master’s in Counseling in marriage and family therapy and opened my private practice called Sparrow Counseling the following year. I am particularly interested and experienced in guiding families through the pain and disappointment of divorce.  I am a Parenting Coordinator, Divorce Mediator, Reunification Therapist, and Co-Parenting Counselor.  I have over 60 hours of mediation training and have presented at the annual AL Marriage and Family Therapists conference as well as the AL Counseling Association on serving families of divorce.  I have been trained in the Developmental Model with the Couples Insititute for couples therapy. I am also a Certified Discernment Counselor to help couples on the brink of divorce as well as EMDR-trained to support my clients with any unresolved trauma. Currently, I am also an AAMFT Supervisor Candidate to become a supervisor to marriage and family interns or associates.
