Kirke Kotkas
Founder & Clinical Director
M.Ed., Special Needs Education & Counselling
Languages: English, Estonian
-
I’ve been supporting neurodiverse children and their families since 2014, when I began my Master’s in Special Needs Education and Counselling. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside families through some of their most important moments — from receiving a diagnosis to building a trusted home team and celebrating the everyday wins in between.
Early in my career I completed my RBT training, which helped shape the holistic, child-centred, and neurodiversity-affirming approach I bring into every relationship. I believe deeply in connection, consistency, and collaboration, because meaningful progress happens when everyone feels supported and understood.
Becoming a mom myself has added an entirely new layer to how I show up for families. I now understand the journey not only as a clinician, but as a parent navigating big emotions, long days, and the desire to create the very best environment for your child. This perspective has strengthened my compassion, my patience, and my belief in the power of small daily moments.
At Social Kiddos, my mission is to help children thrive in their everyday lives and to empower parents with the tools, clarity, and confidence they deserve. I’m here to guide you through the process, build a team that truly fits your family, and walk with you each step of the way. With warmth, transparency, and long-term partnership at the heart of everything we do.
