Megan Wagoner, Psy.D.
Co-President

I am a licensed psychologist in private practice in Seattle.  I enjoy working with adults using lenses of psychoanalytic, feminist, and liberation theories. Though I have been a WSPA member since my internship year, I only became more active in the organization when the Good Trouble committee was formed in 2020. Through participation in that group, I have found significant meaning in connection with my psychologist colleagues as we wrestle to identify and work towards shared mission, vision, and goals. My collaborative process skills have deepened through this work as well. I enjoy working on these processes with the wider WSPA board, and helping the organization meet the needs of our members and of the practice of psychology in Washington state as a whole. I am thrilled to share co-leadership responsibilities with Jenna DelVentura and look forward to continuing to connect with WSPA!

Alexa Barcena, Ph.D.
Treasurer

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working at Kaiser Permanente in Olympia. I currently primarily engage in cognitive assessments for a variety of neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive disorders in adults. My individual therapy interventions tend to be centered around ACT, mindfulness, and Schema Therapy techniques, and I primarily work with individuals who have chronic illnesses and/or identify as a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I have a strong passion for matters related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and am part of my organization's Antiracism Committee, where I co-facilitate white affinity groups' discussions of racial trauma and how to reduce implicit bias and improve mental healthcare for BIPOC individuals. I am also one of my organization's Wellness Champions, where  I will be able to assist providers in improving their care for all of our patients, as well as reducing the likelihood of burnout. During my graduate education, I had a focus on Health Psychology, and I worked alongside some of the leading Diabetes Psychologists. I completed my internship and post-doctoral fellowship at Columbia Valley Community Health, a FQHC in Wenatchee, WA, where I had a more generalist experience, working with children and adults with mental health difficulties (ranging from PTSD to schizophrenia spectrum disorders), chronic illnesses, and those experiencing domestic violence. While I am an ECP, I have a strong passion for furthering the development of our profession and working toward reducing systemic injustice in our community.

Mandi Maycumber, LMHC, SUDP
Graduate Student Trustee

I have over 9 years of behavioral health experience in both direct care and administration. I am a licensed mental health counselor, a substance use disorder professional, and a doctoral student at Northwest University. It is an honor to serve as the WSPA graduate student trustee. 
I have a background in forensic counseling and am especially interested in honing my skills in assessment as I work toward becoming a psychologist. My current research is into the pandemic and its effects on practitioners – psychologists in particular. 
As long-time PNW resident, I enjoy making the most of the natural beauty around us. When not working or partaking in graduate studies, you may find me hiking, climbing, or skiing around the Cascade or Olympic Mountain ranges. My husband and son accompany me on many journeys and bring the utmost joy to my daily life.
