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, my husband lost his grandmother about 5 years ago. He then lost his mother last September. His mother was his mother so to speak. He loved her but she forced him to be involved in things that he didn’t want such as band in high school. He loves her and misses her but his grandmother is a different story. He loved her with all o his heart. About 4-5 years ago when he came back from Iraq he came home on a Saturday and I was having a welcome home party on the following Saturday. Now, we knew his grandmother was sick and not doing well. So, when he came home we had planned to drive home to Pa where we are from and she died the Tuesday after he came home. He did talk to her on the phone an that is all she wanted. She wanted to just know that her grandson was safe but he blames himself and me for not going to see her. He feels that he has let her down by not bein there because he wanted to spend time with me. He was deployed for our first anniversary so we were newly married at the time and he wanted to spend time with me but now I get blamed for him not going to see her. He has a lot of anger toward me for a lot of things but this one bugs me the most. His grandmother meant more to him than his own mother. I know that sounds bad but unfortunately that’s just the way it is sometimes. It really hurts to see him hurt so bad over this! He has told me that the day he died is the same day he lost his soul! He is hurting so bad! I would really like to surprise him with a reading to see if I can give him some closure with this! The hardest thing in the world is to watch te person you live the most hurting and basically killing themselves inside every day of his life! It hurts me when he says these things to me and since he is so angry at me all the time I thought maybe this would give him some closure! So, if you could please help in any way possible it would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks again – Jamie
A very close friend of mine lost her son on a hit and run accident three months ago. She is struggling very hard to move on and would love to communicate with him and start her healing. If this is possible please kindly let me know.
Thank you so much.

Hello Theresa.
I know you are a buzy lady, but I would like to book a reading with you. I understand that appointments are booking into 2014 now, and I am prepared to wait (good things come to those who wait). Please write back and let me know how we can go about arranging this.
Thank you,

Hi Theresa,
I have watched your show and webisodes and feel some closeness. October 2011 my sister and I lost our mom without warning. I spoke with her that morning and that was it. We need closure and some understanding of what happened. We are lost and confused. I understand you are busy and I am willing to travel to NY.
Sincerely,
Karen

My son Bobby died from alcohol poisoning on 12/01/10. I am afraid he did it intentionally. I loved him and tried to help him. He said he felt like every day was a fight not to drink. I want him to be at peace. I need to know that. His sister moved into his home before he passed and she says she feels him there by doors shutting, things just being there. I seen a cardinal the day of the funeral in my backyard and now there is one showing up like Mothers Day or his sisters birthday. I feel he is trying to tell me he is around for the both of us and Shari’s daughters. Zoe is 10 and says God took him because he knew how special he was. He loved children so much but never had any of his own. His sister and I are having a very hard time in right now.
i will like to meet with Teresa
