Hicksville’s Theresa Caputo continues to juggle psychic gift with family life

With almost 200,000 fans on Facebook and millions of viewers tuning in on Sunday nights, Hicksville’s Theresa Caputo, star of the TLC show Long Island Medium, has come a long way since depending on word of mouth and business cards to perform readings.

The show, which premiers this Sunday night, Sept. 9 at 9 p.m., documents Caputo’s venture into the spirit world and how she manages to maintain a balance between her professional and personal life.

Theresa Caputo Photo courtesy theresacaputo.com Caputo, according to her website, began “seeing spirit at age 4.” She suffered from anxiety at a young age and credits her spiritual healer, Pat Longo, for helping her harness her ability to communicate with those departed.

“It’s hard for me to describe because I see, hear and feel things differently than we do in the physical world. My wish for every person I come in contact with, is that they receive a message that will give them healing and closure to embrace life without their loved ones,” Caputo states.

The show, which is filmed in Hicksville, focuses on Caputo’s readings and how her career intertwines with her husband, Larry, and their two children, Larry and Victoria.

Caputo is booked to appear at many venues along the east coast in the coming months, including two shows at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Oct. 6. She recently appeared at the Hicksville Street Fair and was given a warm, hometown welcome.

She insists that the show hasn’t changed much about her life, save for one aspect.

“I say the only thing that changed is that I have both cameras and spirit following me now. At the end of the day I’m just Theresa Caputo, a medium, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend from Hicksville,” she added.

Across Nassau County, residents are reacting with mixed emotions to the Nassau County District Attorney’s recent arrests of more than 100 men for soliciting prostitutes, including three from Hicksville, four from Levittown, eight from Wantagh and East Meadow, and one from Bethpage. The DA’s office not only arrested the men, but made public their names and photographs.

But for as shocking as these very public revelations may be, some local residents seem nonplussed by the whole incident.

Health benefits in more ways than one

West East All Natural Bistro and Wine Bar is a fresh and virginal startup that provides hope for change in a landscape that has become stagnant and saturated with the same, tired, fast food, assembly-line approach, and artificially hospitable corporate eateries.

A few years ago Raquel Jadeja and her husband, Jay were just regular customers of Danny Wu’s establishment. Wu is the original owner of The West East All Natural Bistro. The Jadejas many years of restaurant experience led them to become Wu’s unofficial consultants. Their friendship, which was a symbiotic progression, culminated when Jay became a co-owner and head chef in October of 2012.
