Kane Tung, Ph.D.

Founder, Clinical Director
kane@vrcaps.org

As a father of an Autistic child and Staff Psychologist for one of the premier centers for Autism and Developmental Disabilities in Westchester, NY: Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS), Dr. Kane Tung has extensive personal and professional experience managing and bringing fulfillment to individuals and caregivers of Developmental Disabilities. Kane’s style was also profoundly shaped by his years of work with Older Adults at Long Island Jewish Hospital and nursing homes as he specialized in Grief and End of Life cases bringing all events of a client’s life together to make sense of it honestly and genuinely. It was during that time he first came up with integrating Virtual Reality with therapy to the benefit and wonder of his clients.

Forming VRCAPS, Kane is excited to be marrying his clinical practice and wide spectrum of experiences from being a Producer at SyFy Channel and SONY, as well as a newspaper journalist and playwright to his considerable work with the early Anime and Gaming community.

Hanwen Wang

Mental Health Fellow
hanwen@vrcaps.org

Hanwen is in the second year of her Master’s degree program in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at NYU.

She uses a CBT-based approach to target immediate concerns that bring clients to therapy and helps make sense of the connection between their experiences, beliefs and behaviors.

She also incorporates techniques from a variety of modalities such as acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and existential therapy. She believes how you perceive the world is deeply influenced by how you perceive yourself, therefore she wants to work with clients on new ways of relating to themselves and the world.

Driven by social justice multiculturalism, she respects individuals of all ethnicities, genders, sexualities, ages and religions. Hanwen is able to conduct therapy in English and Mandarin Chinese.
