Our Team

Dr. Antonello Bonci is the President, Chief Scientific Officer, and Partner of GIA Healthcare, as well as the Chief Scientific Officer at Applied TMS. He spent nearly a decade at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the Scientific Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). From 1999 to 2010, he was a Professor-in-Residence in the Department of Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where he held the Howard J. Weinberg Endowed Chair in Addiction Research and served as Associate Director for Extramural Affairs at the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center. Over the past five years, Dr. Bonci and his global collaborators have successfully pioneered the translation of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), from the preclinical stage to the clinic to treat cocaine use disorders and other types of addiction.

Mike began his career as an independent interventionist more than 25 years ago. As a solo practitioner, his tireless dedication to clients and willingness to share the impact addiction has had on his own loved ones quickly made him the go-to person for families in crisis.

With a wealth of connections and an impeccable reputation for absolute discretion, Mike has worked with hundreds of families, family offices, and people of note facilitating the best possible care available.

He has also worked with homeless alcoholics and addicts, and was once a staff member at the Hazelden Foundation.

In the late 1990s, Mike developed The Substance Abuse Diversion Initiative of Lowell (SADIL), a groundbreaking program that encouraged law enforcement officials to divert chemically dependent individuals into treatment modalities instead of jail.

Though Mike’s initial idea to help people navigate their way to wellness has grown into a world-class organization beyond his wildest dream, he is still most happy, and most grateful, when he is working one-on-one with clients, helping them get the help they need.

Mike and his family live in Beverly Hills and Boston.
