Biography
Dr. Fleck received a Bachelors in psychology and English from the University of Michigan. After graduation, she worked at the University of Chicago where she coordinated three grant-funded studies of depression. Following her work at the University of Chicago, Dr. Fleck studied at Duke University where she obtained her M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology. While at Duke, Dr. Fleck was trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) at the university's Cognitive Behavioral Research and Treatment Clinic. Her doctoral research focused on mindfulness-based treatments for psychopathology and she worked extensively with Duke Integrative Medicine in studying the cognitive and neurological effects of mindfulness meditation. Dr. Fleck completed her clinical residency at the VA Puget Sound where she treated individuals suffering from a range of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, self-injury, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and personality disorders. Following her residency, Dr. Fleck accepted a clinical fellowship at the Evidence-Based Treatment Center of Seattle where she furthered her training in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). As a fellow, Dr. Fleck was also trained intensively in evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders (e.g. generalized anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, and hoarding), as well as behavioral parent training. In her private practice Dr. Fleck works with a diverse client population, including adults and adolescents with mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, marital and relationship problems, chronic pain, suicidality, self-injury, personality disorders, and parenting issues. She has expertise in various evidence-based treatments for adults, adolescents, and couples and is committed to providing scientifically validated interventions to achieve measurable improvements in the problems her clients choose to address in therapy. In so doing, she aims to equip her clients with the skills and resources they require to effectively manage their emotions, relationships, and symptoms, while also guiding them through the process of finding peace in the chaos of everyday life. Dr. Fleck is a licensed psychologist in the states of Washington and California, and a member of the American Psychological Association (APA). In addition to her work in private practice, Dr. Fleck is actively involved in training and research initiatives - she is a clinical supervisor for DBT trainees through Dr. Marsha Linehan’s Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinic at the University of Washington, an Adjunct Clinical Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Stanford

I really can't say enough good things about this therapist. She's warm, empathetic, relatable and extremely sharp and intuitive. I'm continually impressed with how quickly she thinks on her feet and offers insight that seems to fit me perfectly, not to mention frames that insight in a way that translates into actionable steps toward change. She balances understanding and validation so well with practicality and current research, and comes across as very professional and yet accessible. I feel like she's really the whole package as far as therapists go. I've been seeing Dr. Fleck for about a year and have made a lot of real progress on untangling some of my toughest, chronic issues that I used to feel so hopeless about. I never feel ashamed or awkward being open with her about really personal, sensitive issues; she's very respectful and makes me feel good about myself as a person. Dr. Fleck helps me get to the heart of new issues as they come up, but also has given me the tools to feel pretty confident in tackling some stuff on my own, like how to better communicate my needs to people in my life, reframe negative thinking, and radically accept and tolerate what I cannot immediately change. With her expertise and kindness, I've been able to course correct the trajectory of my life and feel in control and hopeful again. I will be forever grateful to have crossed paths in life with Dr. Fleck, and think she's truly a rare find.
