Get to Know Timi Schuessler
Welcome to the first newsletter of the new year! We are continuing our “Meet the Therapists” series with the Timi Schuessler edition. Timi and her husband of 48 years, Ken, are Nebraska natives and began their life together as high school sweethearts. Together, they have three grown children and are now enjoying life as grandparents to six grandchildren. And if that wasn’t enough, they’ve also welcomed a new black Lab puppy named Dutch!
The scoop
Timi has an extensive background in helping people take better care of themselves in the fitness arena. She was a personal trainer, a group fitness trainer and especially loved teaching the Silver Sneakers group. This love of helping people help themselves has segued beautifully into a career of helping on a much deeper level. Timi sees her role as a therapist at Envision, as being a motivator and an encourager. She will always strive to provide a safe space. Timi’s favorite part of being a therapist is getting to see that the work that she is doing with her clients is having a positive impact in their lives. That the work her client is doing is really working and making a difference in their everyday life. Timi’s heart’s desire is that her clients have an encounter with God in their therapy journey.
Her personal mantra is exactly what she does with her clients – speak the truth in love. A phrase from the song “One Thing Remains” is a promise she embraces for herself and for her clients – His love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on us. Wise words Timi, wise words. If Timi could be anything else in the world she would enjoy being a columnist in the likes of Erma Bombeck. She then immediately said she was dating herself with that choice. But, to teach people through an everyday column about who God is, all while bringing joy and laughter would be a fun job for our former high school paper journalist!
Now for the secrets: Timi starts her day with a good cup of coffee and enjoys a well-earned margarita with salt. She loves neighborhood walks and grandkid time, and when she’s not at work, you’ll find her in her recliner with a good book, cooking creatively, or spending time with family.
