Welcome to North Star Behavioral Health and North Star Kids

Psychiatric Care for Children, Teens & Adults in Northbrook and Chicago, IL

Expert Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatry

Compassionate, evidence-based care from board-certified psychiatrists and licensed therapists

From specialized child and adolescent psychiatry to adult medication management and therapy, our team serves families across Chicago’s North Shore - including Northbrook, Glenview, Deerfield, Highland Park, and beyond.

What We Offer

Psychiatric evaluation & diagnosis

Our psychiatrists provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations for children, teens, and adults. Each evaluation is tailored to understand the full picture — including history, symptoms, and goals — and results in thoughtful recommendations for treatment. Evaluations typically last 60-75 minutes.

Medication management

We offer evidence-based medication management that is personalized, collaborative, and grounded in the latest research. Whether starting new treatment or continuing care, our psychiatrists focus on safety, clarity, and shared decision-making.

Psychotherapy for children, teens, and adults

Our licensed therapists provide individual psychotherapy across the lifespan. We specialize in evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care — always tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma care

We have deep experience treating a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, and trauma. Our psychiatrists and therapists work closely to support each client’s healing with skill, compassion, and care.

 Why Families Choose North Star

  • Our team includes board-certified psychiatrists with advanced training in child, adolescent, and adult mental health. Whether you’re seeking care for your child or yourself, you’re in expert hands.

  • We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every treatment plan is built in partnership with the patient and/or family, grounded in research and tailored to your specific goals, needs, and values.

  • Pediatricians, internists, therapists, and schools regularly refer to North Star because they trust the quality of our care. We work collaboratively with outside providers to ensure continuity, communication, and the best outcomes for our patients.

  • We offer in-person appointments in Northbrook and downtown Chicago, as well as secure virtual visits across Illinois — making high-quality care more accessible than ever.

  • Many of our psychiatrists are formally trained in psychotherapy in addition to medication management. This depth of training allows for thoughtful, well-rounded treatment - not just quick prescriptions.
