Ο Καλογερίδης Γιάννης είναι Ψυχολόγος και διατηρεί το ιδιωτικό του γραφείο στην Θεσσαλονίκη. Είναι απόφοιτος του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης (Α.Π.Θ.) με βαθμό άριστα 9,48. Έχει εκπαιδευτεί σε ποικίλες θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις και δίνει ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στη συνεχή επιμόρφωση, συμμετέχοντας τακτικά σε σεμινάρια, επιστημονικές ημερίδες, εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα και συνεχίζοντας τη μελέτη βιβλίων και ερευνών που αφορούν την ψυχοθεραπεία και τη συμβουλευτική. Η αγάπη του για την ψυχολογία δεν περιορίζεται μόνο στην ακαδημαϊκή γνώση αλλά αποτελεί βαθύ προσωπικό ενδιαφέρον και τρόπο ζωής. Στόχος του είναι η ουσιαστική κατανόηση των ανθρώπων και η παροχή επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένης στήριξης.

Προσφέρει ατομική, οικογενειακή και υποστηρικτική θεραπεία, διά ζώσης ή online, σε ένα χώρο ασφάλειας, ενσυναίσθησης, κατανόησης, σεβασμού και άνευ όρων αποδοχής. Σύντομα διευκρινίζονται οι θεραπευτικοί στόχοι του πελάτη και διαμορφώνεται το θεραπευτικό πλάνο ενώ η πρόοδος κατά τη διάρκεια της θεραπείας αξιολογείται από κοινού με τον πελάτη.

Η θεραπεία αποτελεί μια ουσιαστική συνεργασία όπου φωτίζονται σκέψεις, πεποιθήσεις, συναισθήματα και πρότυπα συμπεριφοράς ενώ διερευνώνται οι ασυνείδητες ρίζες των προβλημάτων που συχνά βρίσκονται στην παιδική ηλικία. Κατά τη διάρκεια των συνεδριών, αναγνωρίζονται οι εσωτερικές ανάγκες και αναπτύσσονται υγιείς τρόποι έκφρασης και επικοινωνίας ενώ δίνεται έμφαση στη σταδιακή ενδυνάμωση και αυτογνωσία.
