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,
My brother, Gerald, died in Viet Nam in May, 1969, only 37 days after his 19th birthday. He was in the Marines. He and our brother, Ronnie, were only 16 months
apart in age. They were inseparable. My brother, Ronnie, has never been the same person since Gerald died. I fell that he needs to hear from Gerald in order to ever find closure.
Thank you so very much.

Dear Teresa,
I’ve emailed you before. I will continue without annoyance. My fiance, (I’m 53), passed away. I don’t want to say all that I could, because I do believe you will feel it. What I can tell you is that he was a widower. He lost his wife age 47, and had one son. I met him six years after her death. We met, deeply in love, real love. He always said, “love ___, heart and soul, death and beyond”.
Teresa,after his death I moved back to my hometown. This is a real life story, no fabrication, he believe in mediums, I didn’t…..we were both Italiano, (BIG history from Sicily) and we lived in Massapeaqua, LI. Solace………confirmation, just a word.. from beyond is all I seek. Contact me…..it will be worth it to you….but honey, it’s so much what I still need 3 years later. Ciao. Lola

I love what you do! My husband passed 14 yrs ago on Nov’13. His death was ugly.Though he died with both arms & legs wrapped around me lovingly as we sat to watch a T.V. program together,rare in our lives. He was a Bering Sea Cpt.in Alaska 30 years.I was a Nurse in Trauma. I feel like I added to his death, the guilt is killing me. I have no life as a result. I saved thousands of people, & helped put thousands in body bags.Yet when my husband passed instantly while holding me,I immediately gave him 2 full breaths without piching off his nose. That makes your stomache have pounds worth of pressure against your heart. So a very bad thing to do. Why I forgot that step with him, I don’t know except was frantic.Then things got worse yet as the persons responding did not have adequate training. If you can help me; I’d give anything to know if I caused his death. If he suffered, which I assume he did, and can he ever forgive me… I can’t go on like this. Sincerely Gina

My friend is a funeral director who consoles the dead and you talk to the dead. We are all Italian-Americans, you will love my parents and my mother is a fabulous cook.
