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.”

I saw you on TLC this morning for the first time. Being a strong beliver in reicarnation I also belive that their are people that can do as you do. My son has diabettes to the point where he has to wear a pump for insulian 24/7. There are times when he gets so discourged I can’t help but wish that there was something that I could do to make his life a little more comfortable. You are doing a great serice by giving people readings about the passing of loved ones. I have hoped for some sort of comunition from my loved ones who have passed over but have not been blessed with that happening. God bless you for the comfort that you give people who really need it. May you be blessed by our Saviour Jesus the Christ for your love of your fellow man. Regards Carl A. Plickert

My mother and i have been awake talking and crying over my father since 4am. Im sure Clearwater,FL is a stretch for you, but my sister, mother, and I would really like to hear an answer from you about our father so our hearts can be at ease .. I hope u eventually get back in touch with us, Thank You.

Since the death of my mom 2 1/2 yrs ago I have never been the same…My last words to her were please come to me in my dreams and let me know youre ok…I have been to several grief counselors and cannot shake any quilt for not being able to keep her longer as I feel she was taken way too young..She was an amazing mother and grandmother… I have yet to see her in a dream which I know would help me to move on…I cry alot and think of her numerous times each day..The way you help others is inspiring and admiral…Pray for mom to help me move on..With my deepest regards to you…
