Therapy in Plano, Right Where You Live

Looking for a therapist in Plano, TX? My office is at Connect to Thrive Counseling, 701 E 15th St, Suite 101.

Plano is where I practice every week, so I know how full a Plano family's calendar can get. School, sports, work, and everything in between make it hard to find an hour for yourself or your child. A local office makes that hour easier to protect.

Play therapy for kids is a big part of my practice, and it is in person only. I am one of the few male therapists in the Collin County area who offers play therapy. My office is warm, a little boho, and welcoming to everyone. You do not have to know exactly what you need before you walk in. We start by talking.

Hi, I'm Aaron Helm, LPC-Associate.(1)

Supervised by Katherine Dunham MS, LPC-S, RPT-S™, ADS & Kelsey D'Amore, MS, LPC-S, RPT-S™, ADS.

I work with adults working through hard, heavy stuff, and with kids who are still learning to put words to their feelings. I believe therapy should feel like a real relationship, not a performance, so that's exactly what you'll get with me.
