Hello! I'm Jacklyn Dunski, a caring and dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with board certification. With over ten years of experience in various healthcare settings, I’m passionate about providing compassionate and comprehensive care to my patients. I hold a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Regis College. My nursing journey began in 2011 as a Licensed Practical Nurse. I continued my education and became a Registered Nurse in 2018. In 2022, I obtained my license as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), allowing me to provide specialized care. Throughout my career, I've worked in diverse settings, including correctional facilities, crisis units, substance abuse centers, memory care, and hospitals. Since 2022, I've been offering psychiatric care to a wide range of patients as a PMHNP. Awards like the Jean Watson Caring Award and the Virginia Henderson Academic Excellence Award underscore my dedication to excellent patient care, both of which I received in 2017. I’ve also achieved high academic honors with recognition on the Dean's and President's lists, graduating with the highest GPA in my class in 2017 for my Registered Nurse program. In 2010, I graduated in the top 5 out of 55 students with a 3.89 GPA in my Licensed Practical Nurse program. I’ve had the privilege of training new nurses in various settings and serving as a preceptor for nurse practitioner students. Whether it's helping you manage a mental health condition or providing supportive care, my goal is to make a positive impact in your life. I look forward to partnering with you on your health and wellness journey. I believe that working together with a patient should always include consideration of their input when it comes to their treatment. My goal is to determine the best approach to restoring optimal emotional well-being. I firmly believe that a patient who is happy with their medication regimen will have the best outcomes in the future. It is important to think outside of the box and look at the patient as a whole, from a holistic perspective. Humor and warmth also goes a long way!

Licensed Professional Counselor
Online & In-Person
I grew up in Dallas and always dreamed of becoming a counselor and creating a practice that helps individuals and couples with concerns and issues that have taken over their happiness. I grew up in a Mexican household where mental health was not believed to be something you sought help for. “You just have to get over it” was what I was told. When I went away to college, my outlook was expanded, and I sought counseling for myself. At that point, I realized the benefits and ultimately, the results of being in therapy. Now as a counselor, I see my clients growing, healing, and overcoming obstacles they feared they would never overcome. It is the most rewarding feeling in the world and now my purpose is to continue this journey to help others. *Treatment philosophy I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for my clients. My goal is to provide a healing space where trust and vulnerability can flourish. During the first session, I focus on understanding my clients by exploring their concerns, past traumas, recent life changes, and current coping strategies. Subsequent sessions are more flexible, centering on present challenges. Over time, I identify behavioral patterns that may contribute to anxiety and depression. With compassion, empathy, and a strengths-based approach, I aim to offer a safe and inclusive space where individuals from all backgrounds can heal, grow, and reach their full potential. *Practice description Love Roots Therapy focuses on the mental health needs of adults, adolescents, and couples. Our practice provides virtual and in person counseling sessions depending on the preference of our clients. Our team is dedicated to helping patients achieve and enhance their psychological and spiritual well-being by using a variety of psychological modalities. Our counselors strive to meet our clients “where they are”. We provide an accepting environment using tools to help reframe and understand unconscious beliefs that keep us from moving forward. Our counselors work collaboratively with individuals to identify their goals, aspirations, and desired outcomes. We support individuals in developing strategies, action plans, and coping mechanisms to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. The counseling process aims to empower individuals, fostering a sense of agency and control over their lives.
