About Us
The start of
Inner Journey Healthcare
Inner Journey Healthcare
Rooted In Connection.
Driven by Transformation: Our Story.
Inner Journey Healthcare was born from a shared vision between Dr. Joey Banks and Dr. Donna Ryngala. In 2023, in Missoula, Montana, a mutual friend connected the two, recognizing their aligned philosophies on healing and care.
They are not here to follow old systems. they are here to reinvent them. By embracing this bold path, they hope to inspire a shift in healthcare that prioritizes listening, connection, and the wisdom of both science and spirit.
With over 40 years of combined experience in primary care and psychotherapy, Joey Banks MD and Donna Ryngala PHD are deeply honored to share in the journeys of those who entrust them with their most cherished hopes and deepest fears. Their work is rooted in empathy, creating a space where vulnerabilities are not just welcomed, but celebrated as part of our shared humanity. They strive to show each person they are special, deserving of love, and capable of profound healing.
Together, they envisioned a practice which blends psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted therapy, and primary care into a transformative healthcare experience. Rooted in community and connection, their dream became Inner Journey Healthcare—a space where individuals can embark on meaningful paths toward health and wholeness.
