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.

Dr. Nill has been nothing short of a lifesaver! She listens, she observes and makes suggestions that she feels will benefit the needs of her patients. Not to mention her staff who are very patient and supportive of your quality of care. I went from self destruction to a path of peace and self love thanks to the help of Dr. Nill and her staff. Not only has she saved my life, but also my marriage. She has been a blessing to me! Thank you Dr. Nill!
I have worked professionally for this group and find them to be a great resource for the community. They have excellent therapists, and I love their community offerings like the full moon and new moon meditations.
I have the most profound sessions with Arica Keyser using ART to clear PTSD and even just little t traumas that have occurred. I am amazed at how this modality has shifted each trauma with just one session each.
Having been in healthcare for 18 years, I am very aware that I have experienced a lot of trauma especially during covid. I love this therapy as I don't need to talk about it outloud, and she repeats how my brain knows what to do while utilizing a script and eye movement. It works within just one session and is extremely empowering!
I highly recommend for anyone with PTSD or just needing to clear experiences that have had an impact on life!!!!!
Take the next step toward healing.
