The "Long Island Medium" and a New York Times best-selling author, Theresa Caputo's special talents have given her the golden ticket to fame. The star is backed wholeheartedly by her family.
Born and raised in Hicksville Long Island, Theresa Caputo claims to have been seeing, feeling, and sensing Spirit since she was four years old. In her 20s she learned to communicate with souls in Heaven.
The reality star reportedly suffered severe anxiety as a result of her gifts and consulted a therapist for a number of years before her mother introduced her to a spiritual healer and teacher named Pat Longo. Pat reportedly helped her channel Spirit and helped her embrace her abilities.
