I help guide daughters of emotionally unavailable mothers to stop believing the lies, start trusting their God-given worth, and become the present, loving mothers they were created to be.

You love your daughter.

But part of you is terrified of becoming your mother.

You swore you’d never repeat the past.

And yet…
The fear is still there.
The doubt.

The ache that won’t let go.

You’re exhausted from over-functioning.
From always being the strong one.
The one who holds it together—at the cost of your own heart.

You’ve tried therapy.
Read all the books.
Even taken medication.

But the ache remains.

I see you. I was you.

It’s not your fault.

You think the problem is you.

That you’re too emotional.
Too needy.
Not doing enough.

But here’s the truth:

You were raised by someone emotionally unavailable.

So you learned to stay small, silent, and strong just to survive.

Now those patterns are trapped in your nervous system—quietly shaping your motherhood.

You’re not broken.
You’re unmothered.

And it’s time to heal.

You’re Fighting An Invisible War

Every time you lie awake worrying, you’ll mess up your family…

Every time you push your needs aside just to be “enough”…

Every time you hear your mother’s voice come out of your mouth…

That’s not failure.

That’s unhealed pain trying to protect you.

And yes—it’s emotional, generational, and spiritual.

But healing is possible. And you don’t have to fight alone.

It’s time to stop surviving and start transforming for your family, your legacy, and your soul.

Here’s What I Offer Differently

I’m Amelia Mora Mars, LMFT, and Concierge Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist.

I help women—especially daughters of emotionally unavailable mothers—break generational cycles of silence, shame, and emotional scarcity.

With ketamine-assisted therapy, we gently bypass the mental loops and reach the deeper truth inside:

Where your story lives.
Where the fear began.
Where the healing begins.

This isn’t just science.

This is sacred work.

And I walk every step with you—body, mind, and soul.

This Is What Changes

You stop living in fear of the past.

You connect to your daughter and your family with presence and peace.

You feel worthy of love, rest, and being mothered by you.

You don’t just heal for you. You heal for your future generations.

My Promise To You

I won’t rush your healing. I won’t dismiss your pain.

And I won’t hand you another strategy to manage symptoms.

We go deeper. With warmth. With safety. With care.

Faith-Based Therapy for Christian Women

For women who want therapy that honors both emotional healing and spiritual growth. I provide compassionate, Christ-centered counseling that helps you experience grace, peace, and deeper connection with yourself, others, and God.

Many people carry deep hurt from spiritual experiences that were meant to heal but instead caused pain. Imperfect people lead churches, and sometimes words or actions meant to guide can wound those who are intended to help.

Spiritual trauma can make it hard to trust others or even God. In therapy, we can gently untangle faith from fear, rebuilding a relationship with God rooted in grace, truth, and compassion.

Client Experiences

"I have found joy in living, which I still consider unreal sometimes."

I was severely depressed and chronically anxious. I tried a variety of alternatives, and I didn’t seem to be able to get out of the desperate state of trauma and sadness that I was in. I felt at the end of my rope. After a decade of suffering with several mental health issues, I feel now I can handle the ups and downs of life without the extreme reaction that I used to have.

It makes a huge difference to have a therapist like Amelia, who understands trauma and is compassionate and knowledgeable about this new and rewarding treatment.

I have found joy in living, which I still consider unreal sometimes.

Holiday Smiles, Hidden Pain

It’s the season of joy, togetherness, and sparkle—or at least that’s what we’re told.

But for many people, December isn’t light and bright. It’s heavy. Complicated. Exhausting.

Maybe you’ve been smiling through the gatherings, checking all the boxes, but inside you feel numb. Or anxious. Or just bone-deep tired. Maybe you’re grieving something no one else can see, a dream that didn’t come to life, a loss that never fully healed, a childhood that still whispers through holiday songs and scented candles.

If this is you, you’re not alone. And you’re not flawed.

High-functioning sadness is real. So is quiet grief, silent overwhelm, and the deep ache of trying to hold it all together while the world says “be merry.”

You don’t need to pretend.

This season doesn’t have to look like a Hallmark movie to be meaningful. You’re allowed to honor what hurts. You’re allowed to set boundaries. You’re allowed to care for yourself with as much tenderness as you show others.

Therapy can be a soft landing place when everything feels loud and hard. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, burnout, or just the ache of “I don’t feel like myself,” this is a good time to start.

The end of the year doesn’t have to be about pushing through. It can be about coming home to yourself.

You deserve to feel held, even if the world feels heavy.
Let’s talk.
