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.”

Bless you Teresa for all the good you do for so many. I especially love when you help parents who have lost a child and for our young who have such deep pain and struggles over the loss of someone they loved dearly, a parent, grandparent, sibling, etc. I lost my adult son and have questions about his death. I would love an appt. or phone call from you. I live in Virginia. Thank you, dear one.
P.S. Your daughter is much too hard on you,as she ages I believe she will appreciate you more. XO

Theresa, You are so beautiful! My daughter and I watch your show every week, and dvd when we can’t watch them. I believe in you, and would somehow like to meet or speak with you, whatever the cost. My mother passed away of hitting her head on the bunkbed saying prayers to my brothers. 6 months later she died of a bloodclot on the brain. I was 12, my sister 8, and my brothers 1 and 2. I was the lucky one to have memories of her. I’d just love to know something from her to share with my siblings. Our lives have never been the same, such a void for the rest of our lives. She was also beautiful! Hope to hear from you.

We had to move him to another hospital another hospital, with in an hour they knew he had a stroke, but it was to much damage was done. He fight for the next few day’s. Had to had a hole drilled in his skull, to reaslese the pressure. He ended up have a fee stroke after that and a day or two he wroke up and we thought was going to be ok but I think it was his way of him saying good bye to us.
