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.”

Hellow Theresa. I’m sorry to take up your time. I recently lost my little sister, age 33, My 2 young neices ages 8 and 10, along with my brother in law, age 34. They died tragically and is still under investigation. It happened July 22, 2011. Every day is such a struggle. I feel my brother in law killed all of them. A terrible thing to have to live with. I don’t know where to turn…. I sit at there grave site almost daily before and sometimes after work, and cry. It’s not getting any easier, but harder. I know my sister is trying to guide me and tell me something. But I’m at a acomplete loss. I’ve been a nurse for almost 18 years and use to working and dealing with death and dieing, but this is different. My daughter is autistic and will say, “They no heaven, they upstairs here.” Money is tight. All my family feels this was no accident, and it is affecting all of our lives. I know you do this as a buisness. But was hoping you can guide me on my quest for not only answers but justice for my family. I swore to my neices and little sister the day they were laid to rest that I would never stop fighting for them…… If you can do anyhing, please contact me…
Sincerley waiting a response

This has nothing to do with contacting the dead. Just very sweet for Theresa: I had watched one of your episodes with my children where you gave some great readings, and were so excited that your son moved back home. My 9 year old said to me “Mom, you are JUST LIKE THERESA!” I was puzzled, as I am totally not intuitive in any way. He said “You love your kids way too much, just like her!”
I thought that it was neat that out of all the amazing things you do, it was that aspect that reached out to a 9 year old. Kudos!
Dear Mrs. Caputo:
You will be in my area on the 27th of this month. Unfortunetly, I am unable to attend because of lack of funds. However, if you can find it in your heart to give me a phone reading or maybe you can travel out to where I live and give me a face to face reading I only live 35 miles outside of Pittsburgh. Thank you and God Bless.
I have some unresolved issues with my father who died 5 years ago. My mother is still living and is 85. When he passed away the aftermath hurt her deeply. I think I knew my father better than anyone but he fooled alot of people, especially my mom and brother. I need to understand and have a little clarity on certain things. Usually I can feel when other close ones pass, but not my dad. I think this is partly because I still have a hard time forgiving him. I don’t know it you will ever contact me. When I come to your web site you actually don’t know where to go to try to get anything accomplished with your questions. Thank you in advance.
