I help guide daughters of emotionally unavailable mothers to stop believing the lies, start trusting their God-given worth, and become the safe, 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.

You Don't Have to Carry This Alone

Therapy for Women

Are you feeling…

• Anxious, depressed, or like you're never good enough?

• Overwhelmed by shame, abandonment, or trauma you can’t shake?

• Afraid of intimacy, vulnerability, or truly being seen?

• Exhausted from people-pleasing, perfectionism, and putting everyone else first?

Get Started

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.

Therapy for Moms

At Every Age, Stage & Phase of Motherhood

Whether you’re a…

• Pregnant mom anxiously awaiting your baby

• New mom battling postpartum, exhaustion, and overwhelm

• Stay-at-home mom feeling isolated and undervalued

• Working mom haunted by the voice that says you're not doing enough

• Empty nester unsure how to transition into what’s next

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

When Talk Therapy & Medication Isn’t Enough—KAP Meets You Where You Are

Whether you’re a…

Woman who has always been the emotional anchor for everyone else
Man who carries the weight of providing and protecting, often in silence
Mother who pushed down her own needs to hold the family together
Father striving to be present but unsure how to rest, release, or reconnect
Adult child still shaped by a home of silence, chaos, or emotional neglect
Parent watching your teen suffer without relief
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy offers more than relief — it provides revelation.

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.

Are You Mothering from an Unhealed Place? Signs of the Mother Wound

Mother Wounds

Are You Mothering from an Unhealed Place?
Signs of the Mother Wound
By Amelia Mora Mars, LMFT

Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught to hold it all together. To be the strong one. To push through, no matter how tired, hurt, or invisible we felt. But that kind of strength, when it comes from survival rather than support, can leave a deep imprint. One that shows up not just in how we care for ourselves, but in how we mother.

This is the mother wound. A quiet but powerful form of generational trauma that lives in the body and the heart.

It doesn’t mean your mother was all bad or that you are. It means you may have inherited emotional patterns rooted in pain, silence, or perfectionism. And you’re not alone.

Here are a few quiet signs you may be mothering from an unhealed place:

You feel guilty when you take time for yourself.
You constantly second guess your parenting decisions.
You feel responsible for everyone’s emotions.
You swing between overgiving and emotional exhaustion.
You find it hard to ask for help or set boundaries.

If this speaks to you, hear me clearly: You are not broken. You’re carrying inherited stories that were never yours to begin with.

Healing the mother wound isn’t about blame. It’s about breaking cycles with tenderness and truth. It’s about learning to mother yourself with the same compassion and care you give your children. This is the heart of conscious parenting.

And yes, I know, it’s hard. Especially when your own needs have lived at the bottom of the list for years. But you matter. Your healing matters. Your children will feel the shift, even if they don’t have the words for it.

Start small. Rest without guilt. Say no without explanation. Ask for support without shame. These are revolutionary acts for a woman who was taught to be everything for everyone.

You are worthy of a life where your needs are not an afterthought. Where love is not earned through sacrifice. And where strength includes softness.

You can break the cycle. Heal the generational trauma. Rewrite the story for yourself and your children.

We can heal what we didn’t choose. And it begins with truth, gentleness, and one brave step at a time.

You're doing better than you think.

With heart,
Amelia
