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 love what you do for people. I am so happy for them. I have lost my mom a brother a sister my dad and most recently a nephew. I would love to know they are all together and that my dad is not mad at me for not putting him on life support. I miss them so much and want to make sure they are all together and they were there to meet my nephew. I would love to have a reading with you, but am having a hard time finding out how to go about it. Keep up the great service!!
I doubt I will hear from you, but it is worth a shot. My Brother died on 23 of March and he suffered alot. I was not there to say Good Bye and I wanted to see if you could have any messages from him for me. He died young and Had a hard life. I just need a little Closure and comfort. Thanks

Theresa, I just had the privilege of seeing your show. I am so excited. I think I cried the entire time. So much so I have a headache. 🙂
I have so many questions about my life..who I am and who my parents are. The parents I believed were mine may not be. I so need to know. My father passed. My mother has told me for years she needed to tell me something “someday” that will explain a lot to me. She had a massive stroke almost 3 years ago and is no longer speaking. I asked my aunt and she said she would tell me soon. Then suddenly my uncle died and she has not been doing well. I just wish that it was me with you to see if my dad would contact me. I love my dad and miss what only he called me. So many questions..no answers. I feel like you are a world away. I wish you were closer. Bless you.
Hi Theresa:
I have a questions for you and I am getting desperate for answers. My Grandmother on my mothers side has passed when I was 16 years old and I have been told that she is my guide and looking over me like a guardian angel. A bit of information about me is I’m 44 years old and single, I decided to have a baby on my own with a donor sperm. I have been trying to get pregnant for the last year and was successful twice but lost both babies. I am still trying to have a baby and I would like some infomation from my guide as to when this is going to happen. Also I am doing fertility drugs so the number of babies I’m having would be nice to know as well. Please pass on that I love and miss my Grandmother so much. Thank you for your amazing talent. Hugs
I had a tragic lost 32 years ago with no closure. I was not allowed at the funeral. I need to know I am forgiven.

Hi Theresa I know this is probably a chance in a million that you will have time for me but I would love to makean appointment with you even if it takes me two years to get it. I lost my 22yr. old son and one year later lost my dad. Im trusting with their help I WILL get to meet with you. My son was my first born and he was the most amazing person I have ever met in my life. He has been gone now for over 5 yrs. It seems to get harder instead of easier. I watch your show and think this would help me sooo much. Please help me!!!! Donnies Mom
