Miriam Anthony is no stranger to the Women Offshore Podcast. As a licensed Chief Mate and a Clinical Psychologist, she sits at the crossroads to provide mental health services to mariners. 

After witnessing the need in the industry, she pursued licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy, and now brings mental health to mariners.  Miriam chairs the Mental Health Committee for the International Union of Masters, Mates and Pilots, and has been researching ways to improve the mental well-being of sailors.  Miriam holds a Master’s degree in Humanitarian and Disaster Management from the California Maritime Academy and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University.  Working with seafarers facing all kinds of life’s challenges- both on the ship and off- she got her start providing therapy to military Veterans for U.S. Vets in Southern California, where she lives with her therapy dog, Hopper.

Mimi and Christine discuss the various initiatives underway globally to make the maritime industry more inclusive.
