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 Theresa,I dont know how much longer I can live with this guilt.my dad died two years after hurricane and my whole family lost everything but me and I live in a moble home,I have 15 family members all living in my trailer my parents and all my sisters and their hubbys,plus my daughter and hubby too.i finally got fema trailers put on my land for them,well thats when my dad got ill,he was a lil tiny man and never believed in taking meds, but I made him take it(my mom and dad was old), well i was the last person he looked cracked a smile and kept pointing at my mom, he was worried about her, beecause did done everything for her.the meds the doc gave was strong be doc wanted him to take it, he was in so muuch pain, I keep saying if only I have get him half of the pill he might still be here,and i only gave him one dose, he went to sleep that was the first time he slept in weeks. I told my mom i would be back when it was time for his meds again they lived in my yard, fly out my door and you are in their trailer, he was still sleeping still from the first dose, i just thought well he not use to meds and finally not feeling all that pain, that it was much needed sleep,so I never woke him, told my mom if he wakes yell for me and I come give him some more. Well the next morning again i went to give him his meds and my mom said he never got up but she did hear him making weird sounds, so i went and told my hubby he came and said oh no he had passed. I just cant handle that if only i never gave him the full dose he would have woken up Ifeel like its my fault he is not here.he was my moms first love,a year and aa half she died, but of a broken heart, i cry everyday for them and wonder if they blame me,a couple of my sisters do, we dont talk anymore and they live two house down from me.when things go wrong for me I think its because i was the one that gave him the meds, nobody could get him to take it, but I knew i could and all my family knew he would take it if i asked him,now I have to live with the thought its my fault and i also have lost 2 of 3 sisters, and iam sickly iam disable have been for the last26 yrs. please write me back and let me know if all this stress and guilt is true, I have to know that my dad and mom blame me too,I have such a big hole in my heart, that even when the wind blows it goes stright through my heart and the pain is horrible.Thersa I love you a your family,your show breaks my heart for the people you help and then Iam going from crying to laughing because you are so down to earth and funny,no show I ever watched bring me from tears to laughter, only you Theresa, your faithful fan!!

I have a sister that passed away In Calf. The man she lived with we fill he had a part in her death. So many questions no answers it like a cold case. Also when I was a teenager had visions over and over of my neice being hit by car. Falt I had a gift but did not know how to us it. Will she was hit by car and past away. Felt so guilty because I had dreams of it over and over but could not do anything for her she was only 2 years old. I know you are a very busy women but if you can help me in anyway I would love to hear from you. Thank You Georgianna Calhoun
Dear Theresa,
I lost my parents 8 weeks apart last summer. My daughter and I are so upset, and we worry that they are not alright, and that my mother might be upset with us. She had Alzheimer’s and when my dad had his stroke, we spent a lot of time with him. I don’t want my mother to think we did not worry about her, we did. Our family home burned down in a pipeline explosion before they died. Can we talk to you?

Hi Theresa…I would love to come and get a reading from you. I have been going through personal difficulties and really feel the need to see you. I know you must be booked for a while but please try to contact me when you find the time.
