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 father passed away in 98 when I was 14 years old. I am now 28. For the past almost 15 years I have lived with the guilt of feeling like I killed my father.I got into an altercation 30 minutes before his passing. Although he was ill I still feel as though I killed my father. I have lived with this guilt in my soul for a long time. PLEASE PLEASE help me in finding peace.

I have led a troubled life. An abusive stepfater, mother passed when I was 25 and pregnant. My maternal grandmother passed 14 months later. It was like losing two mothers. Because of the abuse, I spent a lot of time with my grandmother. Had my own abusive relationship which resulted in 3rd pregnancy. Already had 2 children out of wedlock. Never felt like I fit in anywhere and always felt alone except for God which I came to believe in at the very young age of 12. Felt like I was never good enough. My children did not have the best childhood. I am now good friend with my adult daughter Shannon and her 2 children. I need you to please help me learn what I need to know to continue. I feel like I’m a trapeze artist without a net. Love your show, hope you will contact me someday.
Eternally gratefully,
Diane Mancini
I’m writing this to ask how i can get in contact with you. I lost my mother two years ago on May 8,2010. She passed away the day before mothers day.Me and my sisters are having a very hard time deaing with her death, her mother is 91 and she has been mourning alot. We need some peace of mind that mom is okay and that she is stil with us.
Hi Teresa, I know this is a shot in the dark, not sure if you really read or have tiime to read emails. I lost 3 of my close family within a year. I take day by day, but its so hard. So want to know they are ok, and know they are loved and miss dearly.
