Arica Keyser, PMHNP-BC, APRN-Rx
Arica has been serving clients for 20 years, and truly loves being a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. She has had the honor of serving clients in a wide range settings including community mental health clinics, behavioral health hospitals, residential treatment facilities, correctional institutions, and a lifestyle counseling center.
She has embarked on a lifelong journey of education both through formal trainings and programs, and also acknowledges that she has learned just as much from her clients and colleagues over the years. Clients can expect to feel respected, listened to, and most importantly, that they have someone on their team working with them to meet their goals.
For her undergraduate education she attended Colgate University and then the University Of Oregon where she completed two degrees at the School of Music. After moving to Seattle and playing in cover bands for a few years, as well as having two lovely sons, she then decided to go back to school to become a nurse in 2001, and graduated from Seattle University with a Masters of Science in Nursing in 2007. She has completed additional trainings in motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, substance use treatments, lifestyle medicine for metabolic conditions and circadian rhythm disorders, gastrointestinal training through the Institute for Functional Medicine, Disaster Mental Health training, and most recently, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART is one of the most effective and efficient treatments for trauma and can offer relief after only a few sessions.
She enjoys most forms of exercise, especially the moving meditation of yoga, and has completed training as a yoga instructor as well as trauma informed yoga. She is very grateful to be back on Maui where she grew up, and really enjoys laughter, especially since lots of her family members on Maui are absolutely hilarious.

Mahalo Mindful living group. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my nurse practitioner. She has helped me heal mind, body, and spirit. Her patience, kindness, and genuine compassion have made such a difference in my life.
Because of her care and support, I am healthier, feel better about myself, and have regained confidence in my ability to move forward. I am incredibly grateful for the impact she has had on my life and would highly recommend Mindful living group to anyone looking for a provider who truly cares.
The Monday Morning Mindfulness meditations and discussions are an excellent start to my week!
Mindful Living Group has already helped me a lot with controlling my nervous system and I have only been with them for about four months. Excited to keep working with Mindful Living Group!
Mindful Living Group provides so many wonderful services for individuals. I felt comfortable from the beginning and like they cared about needs. I highly recommend anyone struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, and just life in general to reach out because they have solutions to help!
Mindful Living Group (MLG) is a vital mental health resource for the Maui community, especially since the fires in August 2023. They continue to offer unwavering support to fire survivors through a diverse range of services delivered by a team of skilled and compassionate mental health professionals. MLG is known for its progressive approach, hosting events on various topics to elevate collective consciousness. If you're seeking psychotherapy, I am confident that MLG would be an excellent fit for you.
Grateful that Mindful Living Group has produced a Kundalini Yoga series in 4 sessions once per week. Tonight is session four and already excited to learn there will be another series available soon. The outdoor space is cool and breezy with beautiful plumeria flowers gently falling. Jessica Brazil is a good teacher and the sound bath she creates with crystal bowls at the end is very relaxing while we are in Savasana.
Mindful Living Group is a remarkable organization of compassionate and highly skilled professionals. Their exceptional care is evident in every interaction. Both the providers and staff demonstrate genuine empathy, professionalism, and a dedication to supporting each client's well-being.
