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 Theresa, 1st let me start by saying I absolutely LOVE your show. I think you have an amazing gift & you are so generous to share it with others. I am not writing to you for myself, but for my fiance’. He lost his father about 5 yrs ago & at the time of his father’s passing he was in prison & was not able to mend their relationship before he passed or attend the funeral when he passed. At first when he passed he brushed his feelings aside because he was holding onto alot of mixed feelings for his father, but now it is eating him up inside. He now realizes he would have done things differently & that maybe all his feelings weren’t in the right place. I would just love for him to have some closure in his heart with this & I feel you are the perfect person to come to. It would mean the world to him & also to me, just to see him happy. I would love to get on your waiting list if there is any way possible. Please feel free to contact me if you ever get the chance. Thank you so much for your time & I will be continuing to watch your show!!!! Have a Blessed day!

Dear Theresa, I know you have many people to catch up with, but I thought maybe you could help me. I will be brief. My health is kind of bad. I take 9 different medicines a day. My dad died 22 years ago, and, the day he died I was really nasty to him. I told him I wished that he died. He died at 1:oo that day. After his death, I’ve had panic attacks, I suffer with bipolar, and an anxiety disorder.I just want to know how he feels about me. Thank you Theresa. Linda Evenson

I need to know if those I tried to care for on Earth are now at peace or needs to tell me something. I miss them sooo much and I need them with me. I would love to get a reading as soon as possible. I haven’t had restful sleep in about 3 years. Can you help me Theresa?
Thank you, Sherri!
Keep up the good work. You can read me anytime but take care of those with better more important needs.
I would really love a meeting with you but I have no idea how to contract you.
Hello,
I know you get a lot of these emails, but it is worth a try. My boyfriend (Travis) his mother past about a year ago. She was his backbone and he saw her take get last breath. He has become so unhappy and just going in a downward spiral. But here comes the crazy part… At one point we were Laying in bed and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. Then I got the over whelming feeling that I need to roll over a kiss Travis. Now not to mention I started crying but this wasn’t normal. Physically yes I hugged him but it wasn’t me. I just think he needs to get closure I feel she wants to talk to him and I know she hugged him and kissed him through me (and when that happened, he was asleep.) Well I hope I hear from you
Thank you so much.
Cora
