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.”

When I was 24 I found out that I had a father that I never knew. I had a daddy but also a biological father. He passed and I never got to talk to him face to face and I also had a brother that I never met because he was killed. To top that I have a son that is deceased and I never got to say good by. Just let me know that they are all ok and I will see them again.

Hi Teresa: I enjoy your show and see that you contribute so much to people’s lives. I had trained for awhile but had to get out in the corp world to make a living. I would love for you to give a reading to my friend Ron Phillips~~who lost his wife around a year ago. I think you could benefit him. He’s a wonderful friend and I can’t think any other way to help him heal.

Theresa I love your show and by reading all these other emails everybody loves you. I know I probably won’t get a response and I probably can’t even afford a reading with you but I would love to know about my parents. My father passed on 8/4/99 and my mother passed on 6/18/10 and everyday I think about them. There is so many questions I want to ask and then maybe just hear what they have to say through you. I PRAY YOU ACTUALLY READ MY EMAIL AND GIVE ME A RESPONCE.
Hi Theres
I live in Canada and would love to know if you will ever be coming to Canada. I would give anything to meet you because I totally believe in what you do, you have a fantastic gift. I do have loved ones that I would love to know if they are ok and would also love for my husband to find out if his father is proud of him, his dad passed when he was 5 and he has always wondered that. Please respond to me as soon as you can. Much appreciated
your biggest fan Gillian.

Hello Thersa
I am hoping that we could have reading as I have lost someone very close. I would like to know they are okay as I am on this side, unable to care for them. I never heard a word in life and would like to hear a voice even if it is after death.
I know you are really busy but if you ever make it to Michigan would love to hear your voice and theirs.
Hi Theresa, My name is Christine. My best friend and I made a pack that every year after our 50th birthday’s that we would do something special together, something that we would never forget.We have been friends for 51 years) Both of us believe in what you do and both of us have lost someone special. This year it is my turn to come up with our special birthday celebration and I think getting a reading from you would be a once in a lifetime experience and definitely something we would never forget. Do you think you could make two old gals happy as another year passes? Thanks Theresa.
