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.”

ALOHA Theresa, you can call me kaohi or nani for short. I am from the island of Big island but I live here on O’ahu on the west side. I am 18 years old and I lost many loved ones but as of October 15 2013, my life shattered. I lost my father Rocky. I was in foster care since the age of 6.my dad left when I was 5 I always felt like apart of me was missing because I didn’t have a dad. The state found my father when I was 14,we had a daughter and father relationship over the phone. I always wanted to ask him why he left and why did it feel like it was always my fault? When my dad died I felt like I died with him and I was never going to heal.I had so much unanswered questions. I miss him and I always feel him and for the longest i held on to this guilt and I still do. The last time me and my father spoke we argued because he said he wasn’t ready to be my dad and I was hurt. In my eyes I always talked about my dad ad as a hero. I miss him I need to be reassured that it was never my fault and that he loved me.
Please help me. Please call me or email me .

Hi im Eric from wadsworth ohio my aunt and uncle lost their 17 year old daughter 9 years ago. It really crushed them to lose a child and I would like to see if you can contact her for them. My uncles last words and actions to her wasnt what he wanted. Even 2 days before she collapsed at track practice, she talked of death, not negatively,
like may have seen it coming. my other aunt also went to a teller who said there was a presense of a 17 year old girl. It would be awesome if you could contact her for them thanks!!
My self, my husband, son and daughter-in-law could use a reading. At anytime in the future will you be in Orlando, Fl.?

I am the oldest daughter of five children, three boys and two girls. All three of my brothers have passed and I want to know why this could happen to one family. It is so devastating to not know why all three are gone. I have a sister 9 years younger than me and we are not close. I feel so alone now.
