About Us

Welcome to Deeku

We strive to make our community a better place each day by instilling hope and resilience in those we serve.

Welcome to Deeku

Professionals in the Field, Caregivers in Heart and Practice

Deeku Healthcare is a behavioral health clinic serving the Twin Cities and surrounding communities. We provide compassionate, person-centered mental health services rooted in dignity, respect, and cultural understanding. Licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, we are committed to making evidence-based care accessible to everyone — regardless of background, language, or circumstance.

Discover Meaning in Recovery

Our Name, Our Purpose

Deeku is a traditional Karenni food and the centerpiece of an annual festival celebrating unity and freedom among the Karenni people. In this tradition, rice is carefully wrapped and bound into bundles — three parcels tied together, each one gaining strength from the others.

We chose this name deliberately. Viewed through the lens of healthcare, Deeku is a living metaphor for what we believe:

A patient is not a single grain of rice; they are part of a bundle. When we tie our expertise to their lived experience, we create a bond that is unbreakable.

At Deeku, the bundle has three parts:

The Rice - The Patient

The core of everything we do. Every individual who walks through our doors is the reason we exist, deserving of nourishment, protection, and care.

The Leaf - The Environment

Health is shaped by more than biology. Housing, safety, culture, and community are the social forces that wrap around a person and either protect or threaten their well-being. We see and address all of it.

The Tie - The Care Team

Our practitioners are the bond that holds the elements together — integrating specialties, honoring lived experience, and ensuring no one is left without support.

Just as the Deeku bundle was designed to sustain people through long journeys, our services are built for the long arc of recovery — not a quick fix, but lasting wellness.

Who We Serve

We serve adults, children, families, immigrants, refugees, veterans, and members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. We proudly accept Medicaid and work with a wide range of insurance providers to ensure cost is never a barrier to care. 

 

Our team has deep roots in communities that have experienced displacement and trauma firsthand. We provide services to refugees and immigrants from Burma and the broader Karenni diaspora, offering culturally attuned care that honors where you come from as part of where you are going.
