The Mental Health Janitors
Faith-based trauma recovery for veterans, first responders, and the families who carry it with them.
The Mental Health Janitors is hosted by Aaron "Sgt Q" Quinonez, a Marine 1st ANGLICO veteran who went from homeless and suicidal to founding a veteran nonprofit and a suicide-prevention tech company, and Jessica "Doc Jess" Burgans, an Army combat medic and Iraq War veteran who is now a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
Between them: two combat deployments, two PTSD diagnoses, and a clinical license. They've been where the audience is, and one of them is qualified to treat it. Every Tuesday they take on PTSD, ADHD,
anxiety, marriage under strain, sleep that won't come, and the specific weight carried by people who ran toward things everyone else ran from. The conversations are honest, Scripture-informed, and practical — real tools you can use this week, not platitudes. If you've been told to just get over it, or you've been quietly white-knuckling it for years, this is the show that says the thing out loud.
