Jessie Cermelj

My name is Jessica Cermelj, and I’m currently an intern at Treetop Child Advocacy Center while pursuing my Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in clinical mental health. I bring experience from working in both a refugee resettlement center and a community resource center, where I developed a strong commitment to making mental health services accessible and inclusive for all.

Outside of social work, I’ve worked as a river guide and dog sled guide, experiences that have deepened my appreciation for the healing power of nature. In my free time, I enjoy mountain biking, rafting, hiking with my dogs and cross-country skiing. My long-term goal is to integrate outdoor experiences with therapeutic mental health practices, and I’m excited to explore how that vision can take shape at Treetop.
