From Jessie…
I count it a privilege to be used by our Lord to help others. In our fast-paced society, it seems as though small-talk is often as deep as we get even with other believers. I appreciate having the opportunity to get to know people on a deeper level and do not take it lightly when another human being shares personal and difficult information about him or herself with me. I do not have all the answers but I’m so thankful to know our Lord, and He does! We all go through difficult times in this life, and I am thankful to have a means in which I can use the experiences I have had in life to help others. I strive to fulfill II Corinthians 1:3,4 which says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4) who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”

Personal Experience
I have been a Licensed Professional counselor for 20+ years. And in that time, I have experienced many of the losses and hardships that are common today from
Divorce, being a single parent, remarried with a blended family, loss of a loved one. Each of these experiences has molded me into the person and therapist that God wanted and I needed to become.
Romans 8:28 - “We know that God causes all things to work together for good….” Although Rivertree Counseling is a Christ-centered organization, all Faiths and beliefs are welcome.
Personal Life
Jessie lives in Benton, MS with her two sons Mason and Deacon. Her two stepsons previously lived in her home but they are both now adults and living on their own. Other residents of the Cronn household include 3 dogs, a hamster, 2 parakeets, several fish, and 8 chickens…also known as “the Cronn petting zoo”.
Jessie is a musician who has played several instruments and has been a singer for several bands. She is currently the lead singer for a blues band named Southern Fried Blues. In addition to music, her interests include gardening and tattoos.
Jessie has a passion for helping hurting people and for helping those who are struggling in their marriage….”I consider it a true privilege any time another human being shares their struggles with me and I have a passion for helping marriages since I know what it’s like to be lonely and hurt in a marriage.”
Jessie particularly loves working with the following issues: depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, single-parenting, premarital and marriage counseling, and adolescent issues.
