People have often said “you are what you eat,” and mainstream information has continued to broaden our understanding of the effects of different kinds of food on our bodies. It stands to reason that perhaps, food can affect our moods as well. Here is a reference for foods to consider if you are struggling with a mood disorder: https://www.moodtreatmentcenter.com/antidepressantdiet (may need to copy and paste the link into your browser)
The staff here at Converge want to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Holiday Season!
At Converge, we realize that everyone is an individual with a unique ‘story,’ a personality and your own set of memories and experiences that make you who you are. The clinicians on our team want to listen to those we serve and learn more about you.
Choosing the right medication involves many factors and considerations. There are biological influences, the presence of medical conditions, other medications you may be taking, side effect considerations and the list goes on. We have the eduction and experience to put those pieces together, with the most important ingredient being your own personal history. Tell us your story, and from there we will work to help you manage your condition with the most effective treatments and achieve the life you want.
If you are new to us here at Converge, please call the Hope Counseling Network at 833-789-4673 for an appointment. The folks at Hope will take care of the intake process with you, so your first session can be spent focusing on you!

As the post-COVID-lockdown world continues to gradually recoil from the changes in just about every industry, its effects on the supply of certain medications have been troubling. Initially, this has seemed to affect one class of drug in particular. However we are finding that, sporadically, the supply of various medications – even including antibiotics according to colleagues, has been reduced in some cases. We have been encountering our prescribed treatments not being readily available for our patients on occasion. This has been impossible to predict, and remains inconsistent and difficult to prevent – as even the pharmacies themselves are unable to tell us of their current inventories or when they expect back-ordered medications to be replenished in stock.
Please bear with us during this challenging time. A number of our patients have had to go to multiple pharmacies to acquire certain medications, which we realize is time-consuming and anxiety-provoking in and of itself. We will continue to do everything we can to ease the process within our ability. In time, hopefully the pharmaceutical world will catch up to the demand of all of those in need, regardless of which conditions people are struggling with.
Converge is excited to announce we can now accept multiple insurance plans for our services, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Meridian Health, McLaren, Medicare and others; in conjunction with Hope Counseling Services. Call us today for an appointment!
