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.

Mother-daughter relationship

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.

Hi, I'm Amelia

I'm a Christian therapist, mom of ten, and founder of Transformations Counseling in Westlake Village, California.

I'm a specialist in healing the unseen wounds of women who’ve spent their lives feeling unseen.

Whether through faith-rooted talk therapy or deeper work with KAP, I create a safe space for you to reconnect with your voice, your story, and the truth of who God created you to be.

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?

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.

What Is Ketamine‑Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?

What Is Ketamine‑Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?

A new path to healing that honors your story

For some women, talk therapy opens doors.
For others, those doors stay shut no matter how hard they try.
That’s where Ketamine‑Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) can help.

It’s not a magic fix or a quick escape.
It’s a supported process, a way to soften the armor, loosen old patterns, and reconnect with parts of you that have been hidden or hurting for a long time.

So, What Is KAP?

Ketamine‑Assisted Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that combines a safe, low dose of ketamine with guided therapy.

In a calm, supportive environment, ketamine can create a shift in your usual mental patterns, helping you explore your emotions, thoughts, and memories from a new angle.

With the right support, that shift can lead to real insight. Real relief.
Real healing.

What Might You Feel?

Every experience is unique.
You may feel more open, more tender, or gently dissociated.
Some women describe feeling like they’ve stepped outside their usual “story” and can see things with clarity and compassion for the first time.

This is where therapy comes in.
A skilled, compassionate therapist walks beside you to help you understand what comes up, stay grounded, and carry what you’ve learned back into your daily life.

Why Consider KAP?

KAP may be helpful if you:

  • Feel stuck in old emotional patterns, despite doing “the work”

  • Struggle with anxiety, depression, suicidal, or trauma responses

  • Have a hard time accessing or trusting your emotions

  • Want to explore healing in a more embodied, expanded way

KAP isn’t just about “feeling better.”
It’s about feeling more like yourself with curiosity, courage, and care.

What Makes This Different?

Many of my clients men and women who’ve carried emotional burdens for decades, especially those raised by emotionally unavailable, critical, or absent mothers.

KAP can help you:

  • Connect to your inner child with compassion

  • Release patterns rooted in early emotional neglect

  • Create space for softness, self-trust, and re-parenting

  • Gently shift the story you’ve carried about who you are

Is This Right for You?

This work is not about fixing you.
It's about coming home and becoming.

If you’re curious, I invite you to explore this next step.
You’ll be held, prepared, supported, and never rushed.
