Dr. Bernice Ponce de Leon is a double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist who completed her Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at University of Southern California. She earned her BS in Psychology at Duke University, attended medical school at Touro University Nevada, and completed her adult psychiatry residency at University of Nevada Las Vegas. Her passion for Asian American mental health inspired her to pursue medicine and decrease mental health stigma by hosting outreach events with AAPI medical and dental students in Nevada.
Dr. Ponce de Leon has further worked to educate her physician peers about disparities in Asian American mental health, the need for culturally competent psychiatrists, and how to work with the Filipinx/a/o American Community through numerous presentations, including giving her ‘Treating Children of Filipinx/a/o American Populations’ talk at national conferences. She hopes that by opening up much-needed conversations about mental health and decreasing stigma in the community, Filipinx/a/o culture can become a tool to enhance our mental health, rather than a barrier.
