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.
What Our Community Are Saying
She's so approachable, kind, experienced, knowledgeable and patient. We even have some laughs during our appointments. It's so obvious she genuinely cares about her patients and it's so refreshing. I always leave our appointments having all my concerns dissipated by her thorough explanations, genuine interest and calm demeanor. For an extremely anxious person like me who is weary of (and a bit traumatized by) our medical system, Ashley has given me hope. I trust her advice and I can't thank her enough.
Natalie and Jessie are wise and I am so grateful to have shared space with them. I highly recommend joining any programs they offer and/or seeking them out for therapy.
The Monday Morning Mindfulness meditations and discussions are an excellent start to my week!
I have known Jessica and Cailin professionally for many years and would happily refer anyone to them. They both have huge hearts, are very knowledgable, and truly want to help those in our community. Cailin is so wonderful with children and always goes above and beyond with each child she works with. Our community is lucky to have such caring and passionate therapists.
