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 started watching your show, very interesting.. I lost my husband last September very quickly. I never got to tell him goodbye.Am interested in a reading, and how much does it cost? Thank You.
Please let me know if you know anything about our son.
Our 27 year old son was murdered last November. I am a skeptic but want to know that our son is happy and safe with his grandparents in heaven.
I would love to have a appointment with you. My daughter’s and I were super close with my Grammie and would love to know she’s doing ok and having a great time in the after life. The night she past away i never toke my girls with me to say good bye to her and that is my big regret she always said she wanted a full house for her passing but i really did think she was going to leave us that night . I think about her every day and will miss her forever and just want to know she’s ok. I love you show, i never thought i would be interested in doing something like this but watching your show has made me realize I would love to give my daughter’s the chance to say goodbye.
After watching your show, I feel maybe u can save a life today. My son died this year and my 15 year old grandson feels that it was his fault. He is so lost, hurt, lonely but most of all he blames himself and is suicidal. Our family has had much counseling, but really my grandson will not heal until he knows that it was not his fault that the gun when off and that if it was, he is forgiven, and that my son is in a better place now..
Pls can you be the one to help this little boy heal? I have done all I know to do. You maybe his last chance to get through his guilt and live again.. Thank you so much..
Theresa, I have such a strong bond with my family and as I was watching your show I had an overwhelming feeling to try to contact you from my father.. I am in aaww of your talent and passion. Keep up the wonderful work.
Love,
Kelly Dwire
Hi Theresa, I know you are overwhelmed, I understand. I need to speak to a real person that can help me, I am very overwhelmed with almost every aspect of my being. I have contemplated my demise too many times, but would not leave that for my children. I am stuck. Blessings
I love your show, your commitment to serve mankind here and beyond. I get subtle physical signs from the dead, but I do not hear them or see them, I am concerned how our existence here and there weigh out with moral behaviors, daily actions, and diverse religions of the world. I am seeking messages from my step mom, grandparents, my daughter’s dad, etc… I want to find peace in my love life, career, and for my depressed daughter Brittney. Please help if you find the time…Sincere gratitude to you and your family. Please tell Jimmy Chandler and Robert Briscoe…we love them.!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello- my father was born an orphan because his mother died in childbirth. I am searching for my grandfather or his family. I know nothing about him except him or his family maybe from an island called Madiera (i only know this from a DNA test done on my father). If Ellen Matilda Bell ever visit please ask for information on my grandfather. Tell “Tillie” her granddaughter loves her and wish I had the opportunity to meet her- her son (my dad) is the best. I would love a phone reading -please post if they are available.
What a beautiful way to pay forward your gift. May God Bless you…
Hi Theresa, just want to say I absolutly love your show. I have been wanting to see someone like you for a very long time but havent done it yet, hopefully I will get a chance sooner than later. I know there are a lot of fakes out there but I truely believe in your gift. I just watched your last episode, I dvr you every time you are on. Everytime I watch it i have to make sure I have to have a tissue in my hand or near me. Your ability absolutly amazes me. I would love to meet with you and get a reading. I am interested in the price you charge for a reading. we are both in long island so it wouldnt be difficult. If you could contact me that would be wonderful. Not sure if you will see this, but am hoping you do. Thank you
I would like to schedule a phone session. I live in West Chester, PA. Please let me know a date and cost for a reading. You have a wonderful gift. God Bless.
Hi, I guess like when most people become famous, they do not personally read these comments but have people to do it for them, and I don’t know what I could write that would stick out more than the others so all I can say is that I hope you can get in touch with me soon. I would have loved a personal readin but being from Canada, it is impossible.
Have a nice day,
Take care.
I want so badly to know that my life and family is going to be ok i have gone through so much? My grandfather who was like my father and he passed from cancer and im really struggling from this…
On nov 17 2010 I lost my grandmother she told me she wanted to see me 2 weeks before she died yet she passed away and I took first flight to mexico to see her not alive but dead I always felt bad cause I didnt get a chance to see her alive.
hello my name is rosie and i was very impressed watching your show. my cousin joel who was like my brother past away about 2 years ago. he was only 21 and it was very unexpected. no one had a chance to say goodbye and we feel like we will never have any closer until we know from him that hes happy and ok. no matter how long it takes someday i will be so greatfull if you can give us some answers. thank you in advance.
Hi Theresa. I’m very confused and have been ill due to it. I’m hoping that you can help me understand as to why. Thank you.
I saw your show for first time. Don’t know if you legit until I hear you up front. There are alot of stones unturned in my family. Would like a reading desperately? God Bless.
Theresa,
I’m desperately looking for answers. I’m 14 years old, and living with the fact that my father passed away about 12 years ago. I just recently saw your show, & I thought you could help me out a little bit.. I need to know if my father’s okay..learn more about him. I can’t just learn about someone from stories. I need to know where he is..and if there’s any untold explanations that he needs to tell me. His name was Kevin..but my whole family called him Dustin. I love him very much. I almost feel like I knew him..and somehow he’s trying to reach me through my thoughts. He’s everywhere. I don’t know if you’ll be able to see this message. But I’m desperate. HELP.
Good day. I feel the need to contact you and I have no idea why. As soon as I saw the previews for your show I have not been able to get this off of my mind. I feel the presence around me constantly and I need to know why. I have very strange dreams and I feel almost like I have a psychic ability more than intuition. I know your waiting list is til 2013 and I will wait til then as I know there are cases way more important than mine. I just feel I cannot cope with everything takin over my mind. It’s always there and I need to know how to handle these feelings. I feel the presence of my deceased family members trying to get through to me but I’m not sure how to completely open my mind to it. I read your story and I see that you’ve been through the same things that I am currently feeling and it would mean the world to me if you could assist me. I believe more than anything in what I have here and I don’t know if it’s the same type of thing im going through, but I can’t even get up in the middle of the night with out these feelings bombarding me and I’m absolutely petrified of what’s waiting for me as soon as I leave my bed. The day time is not as hard because of coarse it’s easier to avoid. I feel very compelled to contact you. Please help me. God bless
