Non-Binary Therapists in Rochester, MN

Your brain, body, and relationships were designed to work for you — not against you. At Restored, we believe healing is about more than symptom management. It's about reclaiming your sense of self, rebuilding connection, and growing into the life and purpose you were meant for. Our therapists and naturopathic doctors share a deep commitment to treating the whole person — because sustainable restoration requires addressing mind, body, spirit, and relationships together.

Amy Studer (she/zir) has a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling and her LPC from the state of Missouri. With specialized training in working with human sexuality and gender, disabilities, trauma, chronic pain, neurodivergence, and severe mental health diagnoses, Amy has worked with individuals across the life span (4-90 years old).

Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a trauma survivor, and someone with a chronic pain disorder; I approach the work that I do from a place of empathy and personal understanding. I have an intense passion for understanding personal identity and the way race, culture, class, and sexuality come together to form what we believe about ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish in our lives. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies - together we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency that will help navigate the past and prepare for a more hopeful future.

Rochester is a mid-sized Minnesota city whose entire character and economy are defined by the Mayo Clinic—one of the world's most famous and comprehensive medical institutions—and the mental health landscape here is unlike almost any other city of comparable size, shaped by the needs of a huge medical workforce, international patients and their families, and a community organized around the pursuit of medical excellence. Mayo Clinic's own behavioral health and psychiatry programs are among the most sophisticated in the world, and the city's medical culture creates both extraordinary resources and particular kinds of stress—caregiver burnout, compassion fatigue, the emotional weight of working with critically ill patients, and the psychological challenges of being far from home for patients receiving long-term care. A private therapy sector serves the permanent population and medical workforce, and demand for therapists who understand the specific stresses of high-performance medical careers is consistently high. Common therapy concerns include caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue, medical professional identity and well-being, patient and family adjustment during extended treatment, anxiety, and the particular loneliness of patients and families who have traveled from around the world to receive care far from their support networks.
