---

Katie Sullivan is co-founder of Modern Compassionate Care. She is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who earned her Masters in Nursing from the University of Illinois at Chicago.  Prior to specializing in integrative health and medical cannabis, Katie worked in primary care, oncology, women’s health, and adolescent medicine, helping people of all ages manage diverse health challenges and chronic conditions. Her philosophy for nursing care is client-centered, evidence-based, and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on educating and empowering patients to chart their own path to wellness.

Katie believes that cannabis truly is a medicine and has seen it increase quality of life for many people who were not getting adequate symptom relief through traditional treatments.  She is a proud advocate that cannabis should be a first-line alternative, not a last resort - especially when many commonly prescribed drugs have potentially dangerous or deadly side effects. To date, she has worked with over 800 medical cannabis patients and their families, assisting them to utilize this treatment safely and successfully. 

Katie is a committed patient advocate and an active member of the American Cannabis Nurses Association, the Society of Cannabis Clinicians, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, the International Association of Psychedelic Nurses, Chicago NORML, and the Illinois Cannabis Equity Coalition. She is proud to serve as an appointed member of the Illinois Medical Cannabis Advisory Board.

As a licensed clinical professional counselor and psychedelic assisted therapy provider, Beth is available to help educate and support our patients on their journey to wellness.  Beth earned her Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University.   She has trained to provide therapy and supportive services to adults, adolescents and children in both private practice and non profit settings.  She holds a certification in psychedelic assisted therapy from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute.  Beth is passionate about challenging the stigma around psychedelics and cannabis and helping clients determine for themselves what makes them feel well.
