Η Τασίου Ασπασία (Μάρσια) είναι Ψυχολόγος, αριστούχος απόφοιτος του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών και κάτοχος Μεταπτυχιακού Διπλώματος Ειδίκευσης στην Κλινική Ψυχολογία στο ίδιο πανεπιστήμιο. Είναι, επίσης, πτυχιούχος του Τμήματος Βιολογίας του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών. Ακόμη, είναι πτυχιούχος της σχολής Πιάνου του Εθνικού Ωδείου. Μετά τις σπουδές της στην Ψυχολογία, έλαβε πλήρη ψυχοθεραπευτική εκπαίδευση στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφοριστική Ψυχοθεραπεία από το Ινστιτούτο Έρευνας και Θεραπείας της Συμπεριφοράς, εμπλουτίζοντας έκτοτε τη θεραπευτική της εργασία με κατάρτιση στα μοντέλα του Τρίτου Κύματος της Γνωσιακής, της Θεραπείας σχημάτων αλλά και της σύνδεσης της Γνωσιακής με την Υπαρξιακή ψυχοθεραπεία και τις θεωρίες του δεσμού. Διαθέτει 20ετή εμπειρία στην ψυχοθεραπεία και συμβουλευτική παιδιών εφήβων και οικογένειας καθώς και στη συμβουλευτική γονέων νευροτυπικών και μη παιδιών και εφήβων. Επιπλέον, προσφέρει ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία ενηλίκων με θέματα άγχους και θλίψης καθώς και διαχείρισης στρεσογόνων γεγονότων ζωής. Έχει ειδική εκπαίδευση και εμπειρία στην υποστήριξη και επεξεργασία διαδικασιών πένθους μετά από απώλεια αγαπημένου καθώς και άλλων τραυματικών γεγονότων ζωής, όπως σοβαρή ασθένεια και ειδικό ενδιαφέρον σε θέματα καρκίνου και καρκινοπαθών με ca μαστού και παρέχει συμβουλευτική και βελτίωση της επικοινωνίας ζεύγους.

Έχει εργαστεί στην γραμμή ψυχοκοινωνικής υποστήριξης 10306 για υποστήριξη του πληθυσμού επί COVID αλλά και μετά επί 2,5 έτη και, προηγουμένως, εθελοντικά. Επί σειρά ετών αναπληρώτρια σε ΚΕΔΑΣΥ και άλλες δομές του υπουργείου παιδείας, και εμπειρία επίσης από δομές, όπως ιατροπαιδαγωγικά κέντρα και δομές παιδιών εφήβων. Σημαντικό ζήτημα στη θεραπεία είναι ότι η θεραπευτική σχέση θεραπευτή-θεραπευόμενου, είναι η βάση για κάθε αλλαγή. Αυτή η σχέση είναι μια σχέση εμπιστοσύνης και συνεργασίας ισότιμων ανθρώπων, που αυτή τη στιγμή της ζωής τους συναντιούνται και προωθούν αλλαγές για το θεραπευόμενο, μέσα από τις οποίες, επιπροσθέτως- και μέσα από τη δική του προσωπική θεραπεία,-εμπλουτίζεται και ο θεραπευτής. Είναι μια δουλειά που απαιτεί αντοχή, εμπιστοσύνη και πίστη στη δυνατότητά μας να αλλάξουμε, ακόμα κι αν αυτό φαίνεται αδύνατον ή είναι πολύ δύσκολο, που συνήθως είναι. Είναι μια διαδικασία πιο πολύ υπομονής, ενσυναίσθησης και κουράγιου, παρά μαγείας και γρήγορου εντυπωσιασμού. Πολλές φορές είναι μια επώδυνη διαδικασία αναζήτησης μιας αλήθειας για τον εαυτό μας και για τις σχέσεις μας με τους άλλους, αλλά και συνειδητοποίησης ότι η όποια αλήθεια συχνά δεν είναι μόνο μία. Είναι μία συζήτηση με Νόημα για κάποιο Νόημα που μπορεί να αναζητούμε, το οποίο συχνά μας διαφεύγει, και που είναι σημαντικό να το βρίσκουμε σε κάθε πτυχή της ζωντανής μας ύπαρξης, που συνδέεται με τους άλλους και με μας τους ίδιους .
