Our Story
Spark & Steel Mental Health was founded by Ashley Castaneda, APRN, MSN, PMHNP-BC, Medical Director, and Kelly Hoffman, LCMHC, LCPC, ART-MCP, Clinical Director, through a shared vision of creating a practice where compassionate care, clinical excellence, and meaningful collaboration come together to support lasting healing.
Having worked with individuals facing anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, eating disorders, depression, and other complex mental health concerns, we recognized an opportunity to build a practice that delivers truly integrated, evidence-based care. We envisioned a place where therapy and psychiatric services work together seamlessly, allowing clients to receive coordinated, personalized treatment within one supportive environment.
Spark & Steel Mental Health was built on the belief that healing is not simply about reducing symptoms. It is about helping individuals rediscover their strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. Every client brings a unique story, and every treatment plan is designed to honor that individuality through collaboration, compassion, and evidence-based clinical care.
Our Mission
At Spark & Steel Mental Health, our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that empowers individuals to build resilience, foster growth, and create meaningful change. We support clients through life's challenges with authenticity, empathy, and a commitment to whole-person wellness.
Guided by the values of hope, integrity, compassion, courage, resilience, and connection, we believe healing is always possible and that meaningful growth happens through trusted relationships and personalized care.
Mental health care shouldn’t feel fragmented.
One psychiatric provider and therapist collaborate to create coordinated, individualized care. When appropriate and with your authorization, providers can communicate about treatment goals, progress, medication considerations, and changing needs.
Whether you come to us for therapy, medication management, or both, our goal is to create a connected treatment experience centered around you.
Psychiatry + Therapy. One Team. One shared goal: helping you move forward.
