Dr. Wade Maggert, esteemed mental health expert and advocate,
harbors a past as vibrant as his current professional pursuits.
Before his doctoral days, the world knew him as DJ Ra, spinning
tracks in the most electrifying gay nightclubs across global
capitals. His journey through the highs of fame was a prelude to
personal transformation. Encountering the consequences of an
intense lifestyle led him to therapy, revealing the scars of an
anti-gay upbringing. Embracing self-love marked the beginning of
his dedication to mental health, inspiring a profound shift from
electrifying dance floors to empowering lives in the LGBTQ+
community and beyond. With a Master of Social Work from UNLV and a
groundbreaking PhD in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate
Institute, Dr. Maggert has pioneered research into the depths of
the masculine psyche. As an educator and a seasoned practitioner,
his mastery extends from academia to the frontlines of mental
health advocacy. His specializations in advanced therapeutic
techniques have revolutionized treatment paradigms. At the helm of
three VA mental health programs and at the heart of his private
practice, Dragonfly Psychotherapy, Dr. Maggert is a trailblazer for
trauma and addiction recovery within the LGBTQ+ community. Beyond
his professional prowess, he is a Zen Buddhist adept, weaving the
tranquility of meditation into his therapeutic approach and sharing
his wisdom at the Houston Zen Center. Dr. Maggert's life's work is
not just his occupation, but his offering to the world. Connect
