CEO Joanna Rosa
Joanna Rosa, DrPH, LPCC, LADC
I am a Doctor of Public Health, licensed therapist, and consultant dedicated to advancing health equity and improving outcomes for historically underserved communities.
My work spans public health, behavioral health, and organizational strategy, with a focus on addressing social determinants of health, strengthening partnerships, and supporting practical approaches that improve access, wellbeing, and systems of care.
Through consulting, workshops, and counseling, I help organizations and individuals move toward stronger, more equitable outcomes. I am also the founder of Ujima Renewed, where I offer consulting services to leaders and counseling services to the community, grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens through collective work, shared responsibility, and care for the whole person.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and attending live concerts.
