Denisse tailors treatment to meet individual needs of the person through therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Denisse engages treatment as a collaborative effort in order to assist the client to light their own path of wellbeing.

Denisse Hernandez was born and raised in the South Texas Rio Grande Valley and is a first generation Mexican Artist. Denisse’s work reflects a combination of culture and identity, nature, and mental health through the use of visual art, photography, or writing.

Denisse observed the presence of psychology in art at an early age through her personal work.

She grew to value the connection, engagement, and influence of art in mental health. This led her to move and pursue her education in Milwaukee, WI, at Mount Mary University. There she graduated with a Bachelor’s in Art Therapy, minors in Psychology & Fine Art, and a Peace Certificate, followed by a Master of Science in Art Therapy with an emphasis in Counseling.

Denisse has held a small number of exhibits throughout Milwaukee, her latest being “Desteyos,” a challenge to permanence through the exploration of identity, mental health, and nature at the Urban Ecology Center in Menomonee Valley in 2023. She currently dedicates her time to working on her art and providing art therapy and other forms of therapy to clients. She hopes to provide mental health opportunities to Black, Brown, Indigenous, Asian, and any other communities who need it.
