About

A life spent studying connection

Blaire Ward is a clinical psychology doctoral trainee (PsyD) at Alliant International University. Her path to psychology ran through communication and health: a bachelor's degree in communication from San Diego State University, where she served as student body president, then a Master of Science in health psychology from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, and years of coaching work with clients in Los Angeles, London, and beyond.

Before her doctoral training she worked in the entertainment industry, then built a coaching practice centered on love, dating, and modern relationships. Her writing on those subjects began as a private diary, grew into a widely read blog, and became the book 10 Dudes.

She lives in Los Angeles, and her work moves between there and London.
