Women in community supporting one another
Groups & Community

Healing does not always
happen one to one.
Sometimes it happens in a room full of women who understand.

Small, thoughtfully facilitated groups for women and mothers who want to understand old patterns, strengthen relationships, and experience the healing that can happen in community.

Current & Upcoming Groups

Different seasons call for different kinds of support.

These groups offer two different places to begin: exploring the impact of your relationship with your own mother, or understanding how your history may be showing up in the way you mother today.

Facilitated by Amelia Mora Mars, LMFT #102384, these psychotherapy groups serve women and mothers in Westlake Village, California. Group format, availability, and enrollment details vary by offering.

For the Daughter

The Unmothered Circle

For women raised by emotionally unavailable mothers.

Some women learned early to be capable, accommodating, independent, or emotionally self-sufficient because the mothering they needed was not consistently available.

The Unmothered Circle offers a place to explore how those early experiences continue to shape relationships, boundaries, self-trust, and the way you move through the world today.

Coming Spring 2027
For the Mother

Inside-Out Mothering

An in-person therapy group for mothers who want to parent from intention rather than inheritance.

Motherhood has a way of bringing our own history to the surface. Reactions that feel too big, guilt after setting a boundary, perfectionism, overprotectiveness, or fear of repeating what we experienced can all have roots worth understanding.

Inside-Out Mothering is designed to help mothers recognize inherited patterns, understand their triggers, and build a healthier, more connected relationship with their children.

The next in-person group is planned for Spring 2027. Additional details and enrollment information will be announced closer to launch.
