Aniesha Kleinhammer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 7 years of experience working for FFSC at NAS Lemoore and joined the NSA Monterey team in April 2023. Originally from Chicago Illinois, she moved with her family a few times as a kid living in various parts of the US until they eventually landed in San Jose where she graduated high school and began college. Her professional goal to work in human services led her to finish her bachelor’s degree and certificate in victim services at Fresno State. She worked for some time in community-based victim advocacy and then went on to work in K-12 education with at risk youth. She went back to school to get her master’s degree in psychology so she could further pursue her passion of helping individuals and families navigate toward a life of healing and improved resiliency after trauma. That passion led her to working with military members and their families as they navigate the unique challenges and adjustments that come with the military lifestyle. Aside from helping individuals and families, Aniesha enjoys working together with her team on providing services that help the entire community FFSC serves. She seeks out creative solutions and opportunities to collaborate toward that goal.

In her off time, Aniesha enjoys traveling with her husband of 23 years, long walks with their two rescue dogs Joey and Logan, beach days, and exploring her new hometown of Monterey. She is a lover of knowledge and education so in her off time she is also pursuing a doctorate degree through Loma Linda University with an emphasis in systemic program development and assessment.
