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.”

Hi I lost my brother almost 3 years ago he crashed head on with an 18 wheeler and for almost 2 years ive had dreams about him. I never got to say goodbye. I never once told him that i loved him and it kills me everyday just thinking about it. For my mom its worse she has stopped having faith in God and hasnt stepped in a church since I feel like somehow he could change that. PLEASE help me !!! Thank you so much for even reading this !!
I had made an appointment last year and was told there was a waiting list, but that I would receive a phone call from Theresa the first of the year due to the overwhelming schedule. How can I get put back on that list?? I haven’t heard from anyone yet…
I just caught your television show today, and am so amazed, I have always been a big believer in the work of a medium, although I also realize there are a lot of people out their that are fake and do take advantage of people. Just wondering how or what to do to get on your list? I have just lost my domestic partner, 5 months ago, and also desperately need some kind of closure

My mothers sister passed before I was born and I want my mother to talk to her sister. I feewl that it will be good for her and will be a good experience. My mom is always talking about her sister and just how much she misses her.
i would like u to email me Mrs.Caputo because i dont knw why am having sprits coming in my sleep. I dont understand my gifted tha was past down to me.
My father passed away almost 3 yrs ago. (Aug) I am the youngest of 7 for him and being the youngest I feel like I didn’t get as much time with him as the rest of my siblings. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about him and I talk to him all the time and I wonder if he hears me. I always thought I wouldn’t know what to do if I ever lost him and when it happened I fell apart. I miss him so much. Even though I got to say good-bye I just want to know if he knew who I was standing there. As much family as I have it felt like he was the only one who I mattered to. I feel so alone without him. I’m no longer daddy’s baby girl, now I’m lost.
