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.”

My son Justin died 3 years ago from a heroin overdose, I found him in my bathroom, I cannot get rid of my feelings of guilt for not finding him sooner, could I have saved him? My son was born on my birthday and we had a special bond. I cannot rid myself of the images of finding him dead. I need help, I need to know what happened, could I have saved him, and that he is finally at peace

She would like to talk with you and see if any could could come thru to you, she could find some closure. Thier is more to this family but I do not want to reveal this on here. Is it possable to set up a private reading with you? Brenda trust only you in a medium. Please let me know if this could be done, it would be a dream come true for Brenda, she needs this.
Thank you, your show is never missed, its awesome.

Theresa, i lost my best friend, my mom, almost 4 years ago and i have never “accepted the fact”. I want to move on,but cant… But in a dream she told me to “go to a medium”, my family and i need closure and will never have it unless we hear it from a professional. I think you are AMAZING and passionate about what you do. My mom was a John Edwards fan(before you came out on tv, and unfortunaltley she didnt get to see you)and she believed in him like i believe in you. Im asking for your help and hope you will help! I need this soo much more than i can explain. I thank you for your time to read this.
Would like to know how to set up a reading and how much?
I think you’re fantastic Theresa! 🙂 I absolutely adore you, your family & your tv program 🙂 xo

My family doesn’t have any money and I would honestly be forever grateful if you could do this for me… I really hope to hear from you…
