Our Story
Founded by Ashley Castaneda and Kelly Hoffman, Spark & Steel Mental Health was built on a shared belief that mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and personalized.
We recognized the need for a practice where therapy and psychiatric care work together under one roof, allowing clients to receive comprehensive support tailored to their unique needs and goals.
At Spark & Steel, we believe every person has strengths worth building upon. Our role is to help uncover the light within while providing the tools, guidance, and support needed to build lasting resilience.
Our Mission
To help individuals ignite hope, build strength, and develop the resilience needed to move forward with confidence.
Our Values
Hope
We believe healing is always possible. Even during life's most difficult seasons, hope provides the foundation for growth, change, and new possibilities. We strive to help every individual reconnect with their strengths and move forward with confidence.
Integrity
Trust is at the center of meaningful care. We are committed to providing ethical, honest, and evidence-based treatment while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and respect.
Compassion
We meet every client with empathy, respect, and understanding. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and accepted without judgment.
Courage
Healing often requires stepping into uncertainty and facing difficult experiences. We honor the bravery it takes to seek help, confront challenges, and take meaningful steps toward growth and change.
Resilience
Life will present obstacles, setbacks, and challenges. Our focus is not only on reducing symptoms, but also on helping individuals build the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to navigate life's ups and downs with strength and self-compassion.
Connection
Healing happens through relationships. We believe meaningful connection with ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities plays an essential role in emotional wellness and long-term growth.
