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.”

Our wedding date was set… Sept 21, 2013. I need closure. I have no idea what went wrong or what I could have done to prevent this. I can’t sleep or function normal. I need to to know he is okay and I need to know that he knows he was and IS my everything. Please contact me. I can make a visit to Long Island whenever possible.
Hi Tearasa, my name is Sierra. I’m from Pierre SD. I know it may be a long shot but at this point I’m will to do just about anything to get some answers. About for years ago I lost my best friend in the whole world since I was just little to suicide. The moment I found out i hade lost her my world stopped and then fell apart. As a young teen at the time I never thought anything like that would happen to me. I’ve hade a really hard time dealing with it. My best friend took her own life and I just really want to know why and if she’s ok and where she is now. I carry around so much guilt thinking I could have done something to help her. The day befor she did it she gave me a hug after school and that hade not happened in a long time. I always think about that and wonder if she new thats what she was going to do over the weakened and If she new she was saying good buy for ever. Tearasa, the burden this gave me as a 14 yea olde kid i have carried for 4 years. I really need some closure, and I really hope you will be able to help not only me out but a lot of other people in this town. I live in the suicide capital so as you can imagine there’s a lot of people and family’s here you would be helping out a hole heck of a lot.

People who exploit the emotions of people who have lost loved ones are in my opinion worse than I can ever imagine. Theresa do all the children in Africa who have died from starvation come to you for validation? Do the victims of our wars in afganistan come to you for validation? Seriously …………..this is retarded
I admire you for your outstanding acting skills and may you sleep soundly at night.
Hi Theresa, I lost my dog pookie just before Christmas. She was my heart, my soul and I love her so much. Do animals have spirits and can they still be around even if you can’t see them? My soul feels so empty without her. Sorry just started crying again. Please let me know. I just love you, your family and your show.

Theresa I’ve been watching your show for awhile now and your readings have made me very interested in your work. I really need your help because I’ve been left with many questions but no answers. I’m heartbroken and I struggle everyday trying to cope with the way my life has turned out. Please if there is any possible way of ever meeting you and having a reading I would be so thankful!!! For years I have gone to readings thinking I would find comfort but I never could… if you could help me with this it would bring happiness to my family & I.
