Thoughtful Psychiatry
What is Thoughtful Psychiatry? →Care built around continuity. Psychiatry for children, adolescents, and adults in Chicago and Northbrook.
Most psychiatric practices don't publish books or invite outside clinicians to talk about what care actually requires. North Star does — because how we think about care is inseparable from how we practice it.
How we actually practice →
Community Engagement
North Star has partnered with CATCH to bring open conversations about children, families, and mental health to the broader community — responding to parent questions and exploring what thoughtful care looks like outside the clinic.

Reflections from Practice
Writing is part of how this practice thinks about care.
A collection of reflections from twelve contributors — therapists, clergy, and mindfulness teachers — on moments of pain, presence, and transformation in clinical and pastoral work.
A psychiatrist's reflections on clinical work as it unfolds over time — holding structure without control, staying connected through rupture, and making repairs when things go wrong. Written for clinicians and for those who have been in care.
Three illustrated animal stories for children about presence, boundaries, and quiet connection. Meant to be shared at bedtime, in waiting rooms, and in other moments that call for calm.
