As of July 1st, 2023, Converge Mental Wellness will make its new home in St Clair Shores, MI. We will continue to serve our patients who wish to be seen in person or via virtual “telehealth” appointments as we have always done. We are excited about our new location and confident that those we serve in person will find our new setting to be warm and welcoming.
Our new address will be:
27941 Harper suite 104

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!
As we end another year, one often finds reasons to seek improvement in one or many aspects of life. What are your resolutions for 2023? To lose weight? Seek a better job? Read more? For many during the holidays, any thought of a “New Year’s Resolution” can be a tall order; given how difficult the time of year can be. Often we find that our ability to cope is put to the test with the pressures of holiday gatherings, spending, loneliness and the loss of departed loved ones. Striving for a better life and better health is always a possibility, even if it sounds like an “impossible” or daunting task. We at Converge are here to fulfill that one piece of the puzzle if you have concerns about mental illness and treatment; call us to make an appointment today!
Happy New Year!
It is perhaps as good a time as any to reflect on the importance of mental health in general, in the coming year ahead. All of us have been affected by the pandemic; needless to say, especially those already struggling with conditions such as depression or anxiety. The isolation imposed on most of us has challenged our individual ability to cope with solitude and loneliness at times; not to mention the changes in occupation / income, changes in routine and changes in relationships – all of which have prompted some to explore changes in coping skills, for better or worse.
We at Converge continue to be taking new patients in an effort to broaden our outreach; and have expanded our practice to include virtual visits in an effort to extend psychiatric services to all, regardless of geographic location or situation. In-person office visits are still encouraged and available, the choice is always yours.
Change can be difficult, and change in addition to mental health concerns can be a difficult combination. As always, we encourage all of those with ongoing mental health concerns to seek counseling if able, and we are here to do our part in the management of psychotropic medications if/when they are needed for your particular condition.
Contact us today to make an appointment if we can help you!
We Listen First, Prescribe Second.
We at Converge take great pride in our overall philosophy in providing a high quality of care; but additionally in the manner in which we deliver our services. As medical providers, we believe we stand above the rest by the fact that we won’t rush you out the door and we will listen in an objective, non-judgmental way. Your history and your experiences are what completes your picture – and the clearer the picture the more accurate the diagnosis and treatment.
Another special thanks for our friends in the Troy City Council, the Troy Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Ethan Baker for their assistance in helping us get the word out. It is great to be a part of the Troy community! This is a new article about us in the Troy Times paper:
