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 Theresa,
I watched your show for the first time and I was moved to tears. I as well as my husband have lost someone in the past few years and I need closure. I outwardly seem fine but I cannot seem to truly move on. I am hoping you can help me — I am sure the show will make you extremely busy but I guess if you are meant to speak to me the people on the other side will help make that happen.
Take care and God bless you. It can’t always be easy to do what you do –you are a God send for so many people.
Thank you
Kelly
Dear Ms. Caputo,
I just recently started watching your show..(and I LOVE IT!) .I have always been somewhat of a skeptic but now I am truly wondering. I lost my son 3 1/2 years ago in a tragic accident. I know in my heart he is safe & happy but would love to just “know” for sure. I miss him terribly.. He was what I like to call an “old soul” he was not your typical teenager growing up. I would appreciate anything at all you could tell me. Thank you again.

Mom has passed. Dad has passed. Gramma has passed. I wonder every day if I did enough for them. I know I didn’t do right by my Gramma bu I hope Mom and Dad know I did my best.
You have a very special gift which can be very overwhelming at times, I know… But if you ever get to read this, please help. I need you to please help.
Hi Theresa,
I lost someone where precious to me, and I visited locale mediums, but mothers instinct telling me that you can help and give me some new details which I need to know. Sorry for spelling, but after everything what happen to me I learning a lot, I am believer for after death life that one day I will be with my loved one. Please contact me, I am O.K. to meet you in USA or to have chat over the phone.
Please contact me and help me to start to heal.
Thank you for your time,
Milena
I realize that so many of you are astounded at Theresa’s gift, however please remember 2 things. The first is that you shouldn’t give out information to the medium…. the spirit or energy will contact the medium if it is meant to be (such as Steven in yesterdays show). The other most important thing for you to know is to NOT SHARE YOUR FULL NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS, HOME ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER for unsavory bloodsuckers to attempt to extort you with false information and promise.
Dear Theresa,
I lost my mother last December very suddenly. I am the 5th of 6 kids. My mother was a wonderful woman, but was never appreciated by 3 out of the 6 kids in my family. When she passed away, my 1st three brothers and sisters did not come to her funeral or even care that she had passed away. Now, my younger sister, brother and I are all that my father has.. My dad is suffering because he has a lot of guilt that he did not do enough on my mothers behalf ( stand up for her) when it came to my brothers and sisters… I am worried that he has now lost his will to live and I would appreciate the chance to meet with you to see if I can connect with my mother to see how she is and to let her know that I think of her often, but would like to know if she could or would talk or connect to my father. It is hard to see my father give up.. I do not know what to do and feel like there is some reason that I have started watching your show. If you can, please give me some time..
Thanks,
Ann
Hello,
My name is Samantha. I am 21 years old. Almost 1 year ago to the day, I lost an ex-boyfriend who was so sure that him and I were going to be married one day. It scared me off, because I felt too young. He died in a motorcycle accident and it was very sudden, Our last conversation was not the best. I have been with someone else for almost 2 years now, and I am sure he is the one I am supposed to marry. However, I really need to know if he is happy for me, and would want that. He meant so much to me, and I did not figure it out til he was gone. He died at the age of 20 and I can not help but wonder if he was right that I was supposed to marry him. Everything happens for a reason, I know. I just need closure. I constantly think about him and talk to him. I just need to know. Please please help me. The anniversary of is death is 10/10/11. I need to know he is happy.
Thank you very much.
Dear Theresa, I have to tell you that after watching your show that you have restored my faith. I think you are catholic, am I right? I have been away from my faith for some time now and have been depressed about a lot of things , and I figured what is the point of praying? Has having this gift made you more religious? Do you have an unshakeable faith and why do you think you were given this gift at 28? I would love to talk to you, but I know now that you are so popular, I’m sure you are inundated and maybe overwhelmed with all kinds of requests! I wish for you and your family peace and joy! You are for real I have no doubt! God Bless You!!!
please email me i would love 2 meet with you i know u r very busy. but i would like 2 meet with u. if at all possiable. sorry for my spelling,
Brandy
Hi Theresa, I love your show.. I am a believer of what you do and always have been. I lost my mother when I was 21 and my daughter was only 3 yrs old. I have not been able to move past her passing as there have been many things said after her death that make me feel guilty inside. I would love to get an appointment scheduled. Thank you for everything you do.

I was left crying last night after watching this show! It made me hopeful to be able to get closure after my fathers death a little over a year ago. I have wanted to talk with a medium, but I am worried to go to one that is not that great. I have become so morbid after my father has passed, and maybe by getting closure I can move past that and be the person I once was before he went and be able to be an even better mom to my kids. Thank you so much for this show, Thank you
Dear Theresa:
I just watched your second and third episodes and am really having to re-think many aspects of my belief system. I am a Christian and I know that Jesus can do anything – anytime-anywhere. The common belief among Christians is that mediums are bad and that we should not put our trust in them – only Him, and I believe this statement is true. HOWEVER, you leave me in a quandry because each time you tell people what their loved ones are saying, etc. – you are encouraging them – you are giving them a gift – You are not telling them what is going to happen to them next week,or next month, etc. Has closed mindedness and legalism put a limit on what I believe God does for us? Perhaps. My mother and I were all each other had and when she passed – well, I’ll never be the same; and to think that I could actually hear what she would like to say to me. What a gift. What you give people is a gift and I’m really looking at whether or not I’ve allowed the teachings of man to influence the power of God in my life. Thank you for opening my eyes and I’ll continue to watch!
I am wondering how much it cost for a meeting or call ?
do not know what to say
well my cousin has passed
and i would also like to know about my grampa
WOW YOU MADE A BELEVER OUT OF ME . I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW DO YOU DO LONG DISTANCE READING ? IF SO HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE? THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE I LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT MY MOMMIE, N MY HUSBAND WHO PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR..
You are amazing. I have had one time where I was able to connect someone with a person from their family they didn’t even know (an aunt on their fathers side, their father had passed away). I’ve only been able to do this once, however I get visited by my family members when/if they pass. I just want to say I don’t know if I would be able to be as strong as you are doing this everyday, but God bless you and your work. Watching your show tonight w/ little Stephen and his mom blew my husband and I away.
God bless.
Karrie
