Despina Aftosmes, MSW-LSW-CAADC.

I am Despina Aftosmes, a licensed Social Worker and Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I hold a master's in social work from Temple University. I have extensive experience serving the local community for many years as a licensed therapist treating individuals and families. My goal in opening TTC is to provide a safe environment to allow self-exploration in areas that are causing discomfort to your life. My specialty areas include relationship and family issues, anxiety, depression, stress management, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, post-traumatic stress disorder, dual diagnosis issues, as well as being a trained student assistance team member for middle and high school students. I utilize cognitive behavioral strategies and solution focused approaches in my treatment services.

Patient Promise

TTC is committed to serving children, adolescents, teens, adults, and families through a multidisciplinary mode of treatment through individual or family therapy.

The individual/family is an active participant in the development of a treatment plan. The overall goal is to return the individual/family to a level of functioning that fosters both personal and family growth.
