Theresa Caputo, the star of TLC’s series Long Island Medium, says she was 28 when she was first introduced to the possibility that she was a medium. It took another five years for her to actually accept her gift.
“There’s a big difference from when I accepted it to who am I?” Caputo told us. She said she struggled with feeling, “I’m no different than anybody else. Why was I chosen to do this? Why is this my journey?”
The aftermath of 9/11 left her with clarity and a feeling of purpose for what she calls her role in the physical world. Now Caputo spends her days and nights taking her clients on an emotional and spiritual journey with the afterlife. She helps people find closure and/or reconnect some with loved ones who have passed.
UPDATE 2/1/2013 – The BEST way to contact Caputo is through her new website: www.theresacaputo.com
Her phone number that was previously listed here is no longer in service, so we removed from the post. When we last talked to Theresa (January 2012), she told us the best way to reach her is via her new website at www.theresacaputo.com. This was an update to what TLC previously provided (Longislandmedium@gmail.com). That email address we have tried and have never gotten a response. Her wait time is over two years at this point, due to the popularity of the show.
Surprisingly, Caputo has built her career on word of mouth only and has done little to no marketing. When asked if she’s ready for what a TV series will bring as far as popularity, Caputo says: “Absolutely not. I still think this is like a school project. It’s so not reality yet for me. My life is overwhelming as it is, as of right now, my waiting list to get an appointment is… I don’t have any availability until January 2013.”

Theresa: Can you help me…My grandmother shows me signs all the time that she is around me. I really need to know if it is her because my mother, Jeannie is really ill and I am very scared and can not be there all the time. She keeps asking me to tell her mother to come to her. I ask when I get the feeling and start to cry or a bright orb but she is not responding to my mom the same way. It makes me feel bad in my heart. I was there when my grandmother passed and I could not find her medication in time to save her and I have carried this burden for more than 20 years. I feel that is why she is coming to me. My mother could leave me soon as well as my aunt and I wish that there was some way I could let my mother know that her mother is there with her too.
Please let me know if you can help me
My niece and myself would really benefit from a reading with you. I would love it if you,could possibly work us into your busy schedule.

Please contact me at the above email address. I know how much it would mean to my mom if she could hear from her brother again. As they where best friends he passed from lung cancer in may of ’99. I was only 11 months when he passed. Ialso know that my mom would love to hear from her dad as he passed away in April of ’95 and died in her arms. Please contact me at the above address.
I pretty sure that if you read this you just might get that spirit of my mother! She was the life of EVERY party! I KNOW she is the life of the party wherever she is now. My struggle in life now, is i cant move on. I need to know that what ive been doing is not a waste of time.. i just need her help. I need your help! If you can find it in your heart to give someone like me a little piece of mind i would be eternally grateful.
I lost my mom in sept. 2001. I was the only one with her in the hospital which was uncommon. We were discussing her going home and then she said she wasn’t sure. So I sat next to her and told her she could stay in the hospital Go home or just let go. 40 min later she started to stroke and even though she had a DNR (do not resuscitate) a sign on her door on her bed on the nurses station. They brought the crash cart in and I had to physically touch and push the cart out of the door. I having been in failing health ever since then…lupus,fibromyalgia,diabetes,epilepsy,bi-polar,migraines,high blood pressure,hypothyroidism. I was never sick before and now I keep cheating death. What does she want me to do? I will be in NYC the first week of Sept., 2012. I wish I could have an appt. but I will be happy to just get on the list one day. Thank you

Hi Theresa,
Just happened to see the episode of you talking with your spiritual healer and finding out she has cancer. I also had cancer with 2 months to live this was 8 years ago. Please have her research and look into the Gerson Therapy. http://www.gerson.org They saved my life.. i had a brain tumor.. it is gone..
I never do this but I am being guided to contact you with this information for her and you know how demanding guides(spirit) can be. She can pull through.. I am also a intuitive healer and after my illness my gifts have strengthened.. it was a blessing.. I hope you get this message..
with respect to you and yours
Lisa St.John
I love you and your show would love a reading. Please try to fit me in. You are the best!!!!!
