Linda Job came to Pura Vida in August of 2025. She has been in the behavioral health field since 2016, serving as a Detox Counselor, Drug Court Counselor, Outpatient Counselor, Lead Case Manager, Compliance Manager and Program Assistant across several county-run facilities. Linda is a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor with a CADTP and 6 years of college, holding both an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Computer & Office Technology and an Associate of Art Degree in Human Services with an emphasis on Alcohol and Drug Studies & Advocacy.

Linda’s journey into the world of SUD treatment begun when she volunteered for a local Women’s Residential Program where she found herself craving a deeper understanding of addiction and the complex social, psychological, and economic factors that influence it. This thirst for knowledge ultimately led her back to school, through various internships, and ultimately into the field itself. What has kept Linda in the field all these years, however, is a fundamental love for her community and being a part of the solution.

Her passion echoes our own in that way and for this reason, among many others, we are very pleased to have Linda on our team!
