Weldon Lummus(She/Her/Hers)

Weldon provides evidence-based care to adults and adolescents residing in New York, Connecticut, and Virginia. She see patients both virtually and in-person at her office in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Her expertise lies in treating emotion dysregulation, life transitions, anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, depressive symptoms, and trauma. She strives to help people manage current stressors, build self-confidence, make wanted changes, cultivate flexibility, and deepen compassion and understanding of themselves in the process. Weldon's approach is collaborative, warm, and emotion-focused. She works with patients to identify their specific goals and values, and uses both to guide their work together.

In addition to DBT, Weldon provides several other evidence-based treatments including: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) to treat OCD and anxiety-related disorders, Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)–a parent-based program to treat child OCD and anxiety-related disorders–and Dialectical Behavior Therapy Prolonged Exposure Protocol (DBT-PE) to treat PTSD and trauma. She also weaves in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Radically-Open DBT (RO-DBT) strategies to further help individuals explore different ways of thinking and being in the world.

Weldon received her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and graduated with a Masters in Social Work from Columbia University. At Columbia, she participated in the school’s intensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) training program under Andre Ivanoff, Ph.D. This is where she was first introduced to the impact behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques can have on people’s lives.

Before becoming a private practitioner, Weldon worked a group practice specializing in the behavioral therapies she continue to implement today. She also has post-graduate training in ERP through the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the University of Pennsylvania, SPACE under Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center, and DBT-PE under Dr. Melanie Harned.
