Work With Us

Full or Part-Time Therapists
I exclusively hire mental health professionals who are – or wish to be – in private practice. I am looking for motivated and ambitious mental health providers who are interested in the world of private practice and building their clinical and marketing skills. My goal is to help you brand yourself in the market and grow your caseload to your ideal clientele.
As the owner and practicing clinician, I know burnout in this field is high due to the mental health crisis we are dealing with nation-wide. It is my mission to support mental health professionals and create sustainable positions that are in alignment with their personal and professional wellness goals.




“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must. But take the step.”

Hello, I am Sarah Saunders, the founder of Purposeful Growth and Wellness (PGW). PGW is my Cleveland-based mental health therapy practice. We are a small, growing private practice, located in Broadview Heights, Ohio, offering therapy and counseling to individuals, couples and families.

I am passionate about being engaged with therapists on a regular basis to help guide and support them in their role as an independent contractor as they look to grow their own practices. I pride myself on allowing providers the freedom to set their own hours and choose their own therapeutic modality; while offering the space and support to explore personal and professional growth.
We are currently experiencing an abundant and steady referral flow, so we will be able to build your caseload rather quickly. We also have a therapist who has decided to leave the practice to pursue her work in the public-school system. We are so excited for her and her next venture, however, she has a handful of clients that need to be transferred to a new therapist. Therefore, if you work with children and parents, you will come in with active and engaged clients ready to be seen.
