Dr. Donna Ryngala, Ph.D.
Fostering Connection & Transformation
With nearly 20 years of experience as a practicing psychologist, Dr. Donna Ryngala (she/her) is passionate about creating meaningful connections with her clients. Donna believes in walking alongside individuals on their journey, helping them navigate their unique challenges and discover new paths of growth and healing.
Donna’s work is deeply rooted in understanding a person’s history, dreams, and experiences. Her compassionate, non-judgmental approach provides a safe space for clients to explore their emotions and cultivate self-awareness. Donna views her therapeutic work as a collaborative effort to help individuals live more intentional and connected lives.
Donna’s time working within the Veteran Affairs system as an intern, postdoctoral fellow, and staff member was profoundly impactful. Through these experiences, she developed a deep appreciation for mentoring and supervising clinicians, ensuring that healing can touch as many lives as possible.
Her interest in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT), particularly Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), stems from her recognition that traditional therapy alone sometimes leaves clients unable to see over the next hill. Donna believes that KAP offers a glimpse into a state of full integration, bridging the gap between thoughts, emotions, physiology, and spirituality.

"I feel so fortunate to do this work and honored to share in my clients' cherished wishes and deepest fears. I strive to create a space where vulnerability is met with compassion, showing clients they are not alone or unworthy. In my office, all are welcome. Helping people open up, find comfort, and embrace their humanity is the most rewarding part of what I do. We all have flaws and fears, yet we are all deserving of love. Connecting clients to this truth and their shared humanity is at the heart of my work. I look forward to working with you."
