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.”

Dear Teresa, My name is Stephanie Kribbs I am 21 years old. When I was in 7th grade my grandma passed of Cancer. My grandma was a wonderful and loved woman. It was a true tragedy when she died. After I graduated I got married to an abusive guy who caused our family to fall apart. About a month ago my sister in law passed of breast cancer. Because of her death it has brought our family back together. I feel as tho it is my fault that my sister passed. She didn’t get cancer till the family fell apart witch like I said was my fault. The day of her visitation I sat there in the bench seats by my self praying that she hear me to tell her I’m sorry. My brother came up to me with tears in his eyes and said do u think there is a reason she died. And I said to him it was to bring the family back together. He said I think so to. So my question to u Teresa is if u can help me get confirmation of my grandma and my sister that it isn’t my fault. Ty
I have a sister who passed in 1989 she was murdered by her boy friend.My brother passed to he was there and he was shot also.It was terrible and we have never gotten over it.I also have 2 brothers who have passed with cancer one just recently he went so fast I really miss him.I was 15 and my dad passed I have never gotten over that to this day.My mom is now 101 and she was our rock.I miss them all I wish I could hear from them.Thanks Tresa
Theresa,
At the age of 18 my mother disowned me because I was marring the man and was pregnant with my 1st child. She vanquished me from our home, and refused every effort I made to introduce her to her new grandchild. I received a call 2 days prior to her passing, my daughter was 2. As our plane landed in Tampa FL, I received call that she had “just” passed…I never had the opportunity to speak with my Mother prior to her passing. I feel as if she diss-owned me because I married and had a child by the man she did not approve.
My daughter has never formally met her dead grandmother, but has asked many questions as to why.
It’s very difficult to say: because you Grandmother did not approve of your father and chose not to acknowledge you after you birth?!! HOW CAN A GRANDMOTHER DO THAT!??? It continue to haunt me day after day..it’s been 32 years, and I pray for closure.
Please help.
