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 Teresa, My son Jeffrey 25 died June 7, 2012. He had been addicted to drugs for years. He was induced into a coma in the hospital and I just want peace in knowing he is at peace. I am finding it very hard to move forward and would like to have you help we and my husband to know he doesn’t blame us for refusing to givein to helping him without accepting treatment. I also know he called 911 for help and it made me sick to know no one helped him when he called. Please I got to tell you I am doing all I can to be functioning again. The two years before he died I fell into a deep depression and stopped taking his calls. I would have my husband call him. Thank you for using your gift to help others. Sandra Chavez, Elk Grove, CA
Please try and contact my dead brother Edwin Kazuo Shimamoto who passed away
on July 17, 1970 at the age of 12. The only surviving brother Chris is now sabotaging my family’s estate, controlling documets and my parents with dementia and cutting my family and I out of all decisions and concerns about my 91 year old
parents. It is sad and extremely frustrating as he has gotten hold of all legal and financial power. I have asked god to to help me let my dad, who is now demented see the light but it may be too late, My brother now has all the money in his hands and has robbed all of us of everything. My parents still think he is “great. Please
ask Eddie boy if from heaven he iseeing all this and how he is feeling about it.
I am concerned if god and him are watching all of this unfold before them and
how they are looking at it from their preserpective. m family and I are hurting
beyond measure. Money is not the object as much as the fact that my brother
has ostracized mmy existance from the parents I adored and continues to lie
and cheat my parents, manipulating them and their finances constantly.
dearest Theresa, My 12 year old brother Edwin K. shimamoto died on July 17, 1070.
I am now 82 having so many problems with my surviving brother Chris who is doing so many evil things to my 91 year old demented parents manipulating their health, welfare, estate and robbing my sons of their inheritance. I have tried to contact him
on how he feels about all these horrific things that has been happening to our family without his presence here with us. Everyday I pray for god to deliver my parents from such injustice but they trust my seecond brothr Chris because in the oriental family he is the only surviving son. They have given me their daughter trust or gratitude for loving, praying for and adoring them for 82 years. My brother is destroying them and they may end up in nursing homes with all their assests robbed from them. Please contact my brother eddie boy and see what he
is feeling about all this. Please e mail me. I know you are terribly busy but I have
spent the last 5 years in agony about this issue. My parents have little time left and are whithering away by the day. I have no legal or financial power as my father has given all of it to my estranged brother Chris.

I have watched your show, I believe in what you do, I can sense the presence of the dead I just can’t communicate with them. I lost my mom at age 46 and I have questions. I would love to scheldule a reading with you I just don’t want to appear on tv. Is that a possibility?
Thanks for taking the time to read my message, Amanda Hershberger
Hi Theresa was wondering how to get a reading for my dad because not only has he lost his dad at a young age and its affected him because he took his life but now lost his mother in a sudden death and it threw him into a depression. He is starting to change but i can feel he still has alot of pain cause he spends time alone alot and very quiet. I know a reading would make him very happy to hear from his parents especially his mother and would love to see him happy again, i watch ure show and see that you travel and was hoping that you would come to canada ontario and was wondering how much that would cost cause i would save up to have u come hear it means that much to me and my family because she was also very special to me,my mom and sister. she was a wonderfull woman and we would give anything to hear from her again thx again and love your show it makes me cry everytime i see u read some one cause i wish i was the one feeling my mamere again to. 🙂
Dear Theresa. Both of my parents had been sick for several years. We thought our father was going to go first but my mother decided to take the first step. She passed on 4/30/12 and my father started missing her and passed on 5/1/12. We would like to know if they’re ok and together again. We mised them so much!!
Thank you.
