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…first thank you for taking the time from your busy life for me. There’s something that has been tormenting me and does not allow me to continue living my life with peace. My mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2007 and passed away in 2008. Her process of dying was the most horrific way you can watch someone die little by little especially someone so very dear like my mom. I miss her with all my heart and soul and don’t know how to do so without having her be a part of my life. I feel bad I couldn’t do more for her. I didn’t tell her how bad and hurt and how much pain I had inside of me ea h day taking care of her and watching her die a little each day until she took her last breath. I did not tell her how much I was suffering inside because I did not want her to suffer for me or to make her last days worth for her. I want closure I cannot get the image of her death away from me. I want to know if she knows how much I loved her with all my heart and soul and did she know I was there by her side reading singing touching kissing holding her until the end….Thank you broken hearted…because she took half of my heart with her.
Hello,
I am not sure if this is your site, or not but wanted to reach out. I experienced losses of my friends early in my adolescent years and had a long road to acceptance. However, my mind is now always focused with thoughts of death and a fear that my family will pass away. I was interested in a private reading to see if there is any connection with this and try to shift my focus. I hope to hear from you soon
Thank you,
Andy
I honestly don’t watch the show but my mom does and she told me to contact you. My oldest daughter is 3 1/2. We had a previous situation with a man being in our house. She would constantly talk about him. He would talk to her and try to take her blanky. It wasn’t till we talked with the previous owners of the house and there girl had the same experience. The man is gone now after he was casted out. But we are having several other visitors. I am not sure whether my daughter (Savannah)has a gift or is pretending. But toys have been going off and saying things they don’t normally say. Hope to hear from you. We live in Panama City Beach Florida and have looked up the history of the house. (nothing found)Maybe you can help us. Thanks

Hi Theresa,
What a crock! How could you prey on people who are desperate and want answers? I bet before every one of your episodes TLC producers dig the dirt up on all deceased family members of people you are going to sit with so you know everything. You are another douche like John Edward. Boo to you
