Dr. Brandon Gimbel is a board-certified adult psychiatrist, trained psychotherapist, and the founder of North Star Behavioral Health. He provides care to a full panel of adult patients while leading the clinical direction of the practice. His goal in founding North Star was simple: to create the kind of psychiatry practice he’d want for himself or someone he loves - one grounded in thoughtful care, strong relationships, and respect for each person’s experience.

Dr. Gimbel earned his M.D. from Case Western Reserve University and completed his psychiatry residency at the Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Residency Program, where he served as Chief Resident and received multiple teaching awards. Before moving to Illinois, he was on faculty at Harvard Medical School and a staff psychiatrist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

He completed advanced psychotherapy fellowships through the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and Harvard Medical School, and continues to integrate psychodynamic and mindfulness-based approaches into his work. Dr. Gimbel specializes in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and adult ADHD. Though his practice is currently full, he remains deeply involved in patient care, provider mentorship, and the continued growth of a practice built on compassion and quality.
