I’m Philip Ifrah, a pre-licensed therapist with experience working with adolescents, adults, and groups across community mental health, college settings, recovery programs, and family services. I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, academic stress, and substance-related challenges through individual counseling, group therapy, and workshops.
My work has included both in-person and telehealth settings, allowing me to meet people where they are—literally and emotionally.
I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, drawing from CBT- and DBT-informed practices while always prioritizing empathy and connection. I believe therapy should feel human, supportive, and practical.
Together, we’ll work to better understand your experiences, build coping tools that fit your life, and create space for growth at a pace that feels right for you.

As your therapist, I want to ensure that your information is always protected under HIPAA. This means that everything we discuss in therapy will remain confidential between us. However, there are a few exceptions to confidentiality. If you or someone else is at risk of harm—such as through suicidal or homicidal thoughts or claims of abuse—I am legally required to take action and notify the appropriate authorities as a mandated reporter.
As a telehealth provider, I take every precaution to ensure our conversations are private and secure. Please use headphones and participate in our sessions from a private space to maintain confidentiality.
Additionally, my clinical supervisor, Sarah E. Reyes, LCSW may review my session notes. She is also a licensed professional bound by the same ethical guidelines, so your information will only be shared with them under the same confidentiality rules, with the exceptions mentioned above.

There’s no such thing as a ‘bad kid’—just angry, hurt, tired, scared, confused, impulsive ones expressing their feelings and needs the only way they know how. We owe it to every single one of them to always remember that.
