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.”

Dear Threasa:
We lost our son he was born with dow-syndrom. He was a wonderful young man, and when he was in jr hs he was bitten by another student and he got hep b. We made sure that he was fine and he got cancer and survived and 22 years later. He passed away in 3 weeks from liver failure. He was so special and I am having a hard time with his passing and I need to know if he is alright. Our son was 39 and always with us. I miss him and cry all the time. Please help me.

Just wondering – Are you able to have a reading with you over the telephone? What is your fee for a reading and do you always give good news? I don’t feel like everyone you talk with has good feedback. I would love to have a reading, but would not be able to travel to Long Island. Thank you for your response!
I need your help and would love to make an appointment with you. I know you have a long list but please put me on it.

I know I’m one in a million but it’s worth trying. I guess I’m looking for closure on my mother. She past away 3 years ago & I guess I dont know exactly what I’m looking for. Please if you have time please contact me.
Thank you

Theresa,
My wife is an avid viewer of your show. She lost her only child/ daughter at age 29 four years ago by suicide. She left behind a ten year old daughter, eight year old son and a loving husband Her husband has re-married. I have been married to her for over two years. every time she watches your show, she always has tears. She has this terrible guilt and won’t talk to me about it. She needs some kind of closure and some kind of assurance she is OK. She always talks of you and wishes to meet you. We live in Oklahoma. I have daughter that lives in East North Port, LI. I could plan a trip to visit daughter and possibly surprise her to visit you. I hope you get this email and at least get a response. I am at wits end. I love her so much and would do anything to make her happy and help her find peace with her loss. They were very close.
My husband needs closure Theresa … please add me to your list for appointments we are from Canada but are currently in Florida as this is where my husband is currently working we will travel when ever you let us know.
God bless you
Annie
