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.”

Hi, my names Annie i am 14 my parents got married in 1996 my grandfather died in 1997 and i was born in 1998. Me and my mom were watching your show and she said i wish their was a way she could contact my dad. therefor i felt the urge to see what i could do.
When i was 3 i woke up and 3 in the morning and asked to see my moms grandpa, she handed me a photo of a family reunion and i pointed at him no more than 5 seconds, when she looked at the date it was May 11 the day he died. i cant remember anything, and it kills me, i want to contact him, know him, and know that hes happy. My heart breaks to see her hurt because her sister can contact him in her dreams but she cant. My mom does anything she can for me, i know this is something she can only wish for, i want this wish to come true, and you have the ability to help me with that.
Hello, I have had many people in my life that are not longer with me. I carry an ache in my heart and hope that you have a message for me and my family.
Sorry need to learn to spell I meant to say my brother was waiting for them.

I have always felt my brother’s presents with me he was killed in Vietnam Aug 23 1967 I was 10. My parents have passed on & grandparents too I hope he was there wanted for them. Thank you for what you to do people. I love your laughter..

On December 20 I was driving home from my mothers house 2hr. From my home and had a devastating car wreck with my 4 of 5 children. My daughter had a broken nose, broken hip and her jaw was poped out of place. My son had stitches in his for head, and my other son had seat belt burns on his neck. But the most devastating part was my 5 yr old son was killed. I sat at Riley hospital for 6 days holding my dead sons hand only to find out he died at the scene of the accident. I has been devastating to my life. His birthday is in 3 days September 23 he would have been 6. I miss his smile so bad. I just want him to know I’m sorry and I love and miss him.

Hi I have a friend her daughter was murdered and nobody knows how or who did it. She never had a chance to say goodbye or even hold her she was left for dead and by the time they found her she was decomposed. My friend needs to speak to her daughter to at least say goodbye to her or know she is ok. She really needs you bad!
Thank you!
dear theresa, i know there is so many people that are calling out to you and everyone is hurting so bad. I just want to say you are a special person to be chosen to help people the way you do. I also changed after 9/11 realizing how everyone in this world is my brothers and sisters. I volenteer my time at the American cancer society styling wigs for women going under chemotheropy. I as well as you get such a wonderful feeling that runs through my body just by making people feel good. You provide comfort,love and most of all closer. What a wonderful gift. My dad passed 1 year ago which was quick and unexpected. My heart is ripped out and I dont know how im supposed to continue my life. I took my mom to live with me and You can see all over her face the pain of being without dad after 60 years. If you can find time to see my mom and I we will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. God Bless you and your family
