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.”

Theresa,
My husband was killed in a plane crash 2 1/2 years ago . Mike was my Heart Song and he took my heart with him to Heaven. I don’t know how many more people I can handle losing. My 1st husband was 52 when he died.My dad was 52.My mom 53.My brother 42.My other brother 16. My sister just died she was 45. My other sister just died at 60.My cousin was 54 died last year. My other cousin was 42. My sister in law died of breast cancer within the last 5 years in her 40’s. My fatherinlaw passed away last Memorial wknd. My son died at 21 from an aneurism the day after Christmas. Why, am I still here? I will pay you to help me, I’ll come there, or you can come to my home in Galveston,Tx . Tell your husband the bikers rally is in September 2014 here on the island. He’d really enjoy it. Theresa, I ask that God give me favor with you and that you remember my name Cyndy Turner. From a family of 5 kids and 2 parents, I’m the only person left. Why? I’ve had cancer at 26, 6 back surgeries, shoulder and knee surgery.In 2008, we lost 1/2 of our home but Mike and I were strong because of God.I fell into our empty pool after Ike and had to have 2 hip surgeries I can’t seem to get over, and my husband isn’t here by my side. I’m really not sure how much more and and how much longer I can endure all of this. I also have my sister’s 33 yr old Autistic Son that I am responsible for. It seems it’s been this way all my life. Please help me Theresa. I feel that if I could get some questions answered I know I can be strong once again. I’m almost afraid to love anyone again for fear they’ll be taken away also. I feel like Job in the bible! Lol
God Bless You Theresa I’m prepared to pay for this, Ive never asked for anyone to give me something for free. God Bless and I wait for your answer.

I used to watch the show all the time and then I read the bible and it
clearly tells us that “Medium” is not a good gift and is clearly
supported by the evil spirit,so I would say you read this for yourself:
Deutoronomy 18,verse9-13, and I think that your father is correct
to say that this is creepy,
