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 have had so much horrible tragedy in our lives. We all need closure, but mostly my Daughter. Her Father was killed a month before she was born. Thank you!
Its so much to write but my father passed 6 yrs ago as did my husbands grandfather and its two suffering families we would like to know if they are ok.
Hi, Teresa. I’m sorry to bother you. i’m from Toronto, Ontario. The reason I’m writing you this is because, my son, jorge had a friend named Viktor and he passed away from a car accident, he left some money for my son and his mom did some black magic to my son to get the money but to also see our family in ruins. I desperately want to know what my son’s friend who died is saying about what his mother is doing to our family and to also know how he is doing since we didn’t get the chance to see him before he died. I would really appreciate if you can possibly send us a reply to what you think about this and I would like to also apologize for any inconvenience and would like to say thank you for taking the time to read this, if you have any questions please e-mail me thank you once again, take care.

Hello, I was wondering when you were making a trip to Alaska we would love to see you, and have the opportunity to have a reading with you. I would be able to set up many readings for you in group or personal one on one.
My mother passed away last year I cared for her for the last weeks, she died in my arms, I need to know she is ok, and did I do the right things and follow her wishes. Did she know I held her hand as she walked home to be with Jesus like I promised? Secondly my daughter in law and her 12 year old brother lts both parents one year apart, she suffers daily as does he, sometimes I feel like I will come home to her dead as well, she needs closure as well. Please please I ask of you to help and give us some peace and closure.

Theresa, I am a big fan of your show. I watch it every week , and to see the way people react to what you have to say makes me wonder what you could do for my mom and I. About 8 years ago my best friend past away. He was sick for a very long time, I and I never got to tell him I love him before he went. I now have a 3 year old son and I want to know him. I know what you do is real, my mom is needing closure from everything that has happenend.
God Bless,
Whitney
