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.”

I have lost my dad & brother to cancer and just want to make sure that they are okay and that they know that I miss them and love them. My brothers son also passed as an infant and I want to know if they are now together and all 3 are happy and together. Both my brother and father expelled there last breath in my arms and I want to know if they knew that they were in my arms when that happened and how much I wonder if that was meant to be a sign for me. I miss them sooooo much!!
We need to know if my grandsons will ever have a normal life and happiness will come back into my daughters’ life.

Hi Theresa,
I just lost my Dad on Nov 2nd of this year. I saw him everyday and found him passed away that afternoon. He had some medical problems but I left him the night before he seemed fine. I’m lost with out him and never got a chance to say good by.
I need to know if he is ok and if he new it was his time to go. It feels so unexpected the way he left.

hi this is Lily from Elmira, NY. I was wondering if you could come to Elmira and give me a reading because we lost my grandma in 2007 and lost my aunt marge a yr. later. i=on my sisters birthday. this would give me a lot to think about. i miss her a lot. thanks for reading this.
Theresa, I was wondering, if u do long distance readings, or even phone reading. I Live in Roy Utah, Lost my husband very suddenly on January 23, (found) but actually had passed on the 22nd of January at around 9 or 10 p.m. while I was asleep he had passed and never even knew it til I got up the next morning. So I wanted to get in contact with him to see if he comes through I feel I need the closure in order to move on with my life. I have a handicap, and my husband was my whole world, and life, we had no kids together, so I feel so alone without him. please email me if you can. Thank you much, Jennie
