I had the same problem and I solved with the steps:

1. if your are on Apple M1 Chip, run terminal with Rosetta 2 (optional, only necessary if you have the Node installed with Rosetta)
2. check your node-sass version in your package.json and compare with the following table:

NodeJS	Supported node-sass version	Node Module
Node 16	6.0+	93
Node 15	5.0+	88
Node 14	4.14+	83
Node 13	4.13+, <5.0	79
Node 12	4.12+	72
Node 11	4.10+, <5.0	67
Node 10	4.9+, <6.0	64
Node 8	4.5.3+, <5.0	57
Node <8	<5.0	<57

3. check your Node version with: node --version
4. install the Nodejs version according with your node-sass, if your are using NVM, run: nvm use DESIRED_VERSION
5. clean old node_modules deleting the folder or type this on terminal: rm -rf node_modules
6. run: npm install
