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.”

Boa tarde Theresa.
Assisto todos os seus programa daqui do Brasil e fico super emocionada quando lhe vejo trazer a felicidade das pessoas, ao tirar as dúvidas das pessoas em relação a perda seus entes queridos. Por isso resolvi entrar em contato para que você me tire uma dúvida em relação à morte de minha mãe em 14/11/2014. Fico angustiada porque não sei se agi certo em não levar a minha mãe para o hospital no dia em que ela passou mal. Ela passou mal o dia todo em casa mas eu estava trabalhando e minha filha só me falou à noite quando chequei em casa. Eu senti que ela esta com o corpo frio mas ela não estava sentido nada. Dei 25 gotas de plazil para ela e depois ela não vomitou mais. Passado uma hora e meia depois eu perguntei se ela queria uma banana amassada e ele respondeu que querias e comeu e não passou mal. Perguntei à ela se ela estava sentido alguma coisa e ela respondeu que não sentias nada. Eu disse à ela que erapara ela dormir para poder descansar e ela respondeu que queria dormir mas não estava conseguindo. Minha irmã ficou com ela deitada em outra cama, isso era mais ao menos por volta das 23:00h. Ela me deu a mão eu a beijei e perguntei o que estava sentindo ela disse que ela iria morrer então eu disse que ela não ia morrer não e que ficaria conosco por muitos anos ainda(ela costumava dizer que sentia que ia morrer quase todos os dias) por isso não dei tanta importância para ela quando ela tornou a repetir que sentia que ia morrer. E eu tornei a falar pra ela para de falar que ia morrer por Deus não iria tira-la de nós tão cedo e que viveria por muitos anos ainda. Aí perguntei se ela queria alguma coisa e ela disse que não, então falei para ela dormir para poder acordar no outro dia mais disposta para poder comer direitinho. E fui tentar descansar um pouco, só que peguei no sono, e acordei com minha irmã me chamando dizendo que minha mãe estava com a respiração esquisita, corri para o quarto e quando perguntei pra ela o que ela estava sentindo, ela queria falar alguma coisa mas eu só ouvi um som de água como se ela estivesse com o peito cheio de água, corri e chamei a minha filha que correu para o quarto e fui chamar a ambulância e quando desliguei o telefone depois de muitos gritos de pavor desliguei o telefone e senti a alma dela passando por mim e eu gritei mamãe e corri para o elevador para ver se os paramédicos estavam chegando e dei de cara na porta e eles correram para dentro do apartamento e depois me disseram que nada podia ser feito porque ela havia morrido, fiquei desesperada e me culpando de não te-la levado ao hospital. Não sei o que aconteceu comigo que eu fiquei sem ação, não conseguia leva-la para o hospital e nem chamar os paramédico, parece que fui impedida de tomar qualquer decisão. Theresa me tire esta dúvida isso esta me angustiando, quero saber o que fiz de errado. Porque não levei minha mãe para o hospital? Me ajude por favor. Um grande beijo e que Deus proteja você e toda sua família. Obrigada

I lost my partner in July of 2013. On December 2013 I was given an angel pin at a Hospice memorial ceremony. This December I put on a jacket that belong to my partner and found an angel coin in the pocket. This month while cleaning the desk of bills, taxes and such that belong to her I found another angel coin tug away in a small drawer. I has never seen these coins before. I know she is trying to tell me something. What is it?
