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.”

We lost our baby at 22 weeks due to severe pre-eclampsia. Is he causing the bizarre phenomena on my car stereo? Is it another family member who has passed on or is it just a random problem with my car?

I am very far away from my first daughter and she is in trouble. Trouble with the law, and drugs. There is much more I hate to spill.She is in so much trouble my mother instict believes that she may be gone. I had a dream my mother was hugging me, and oddly enough I was comforting her in the dream. My sole is lost in the not knowing where my beautiful daughter is and if she is still here or if she is alright. My mom who has passed since 89, I know is watching over her and has some answers for me. What do I do, I feel very alone. I wake up and go to sleep in fear for my daughter. My heart hurts.

Hi Theresa. I was surprised when I saw the show about how your anxiety has been part of your life. I can relate since I have had it ALL my life. No sob story or therapy session coming..lol
I am full blooded Italiano and I feel you have the gift that can set me free. My feelings of pain for others runs so deep I know it’s not the norm….I would thank God above for time with you. I realize this probably will not happen..but I can try. Closure.
Love ya! God bless your straightforwardness and honesty Theresa. (my nana’s name) <3
Hi Theresa,
My Name is Jane Mugenyi. I live in Uganda, East Africa. However of the 01st sept 2009 my mum went missing and 2 weeks later we found her decomposing britally murdered body in a forest. It was a shocker and todate I have so many questions. I feel like if she had done anything that caused this situation, she would have told me since we talked everyday on phone though we were in different towns but we were so close. 6 months later my dad passed on too mysteriously. I desperately need some answers for closure and I don’t mind the bitter truth. But why would anyone kill my mum in such pain and is she in a safe place now? Kindly help.
Thank you
