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 am very skeptical about things like this, but I am feeling very depressed and confused. If you truly have this gift to give people then I would really appreciate your help. I have so many unanswered questions and I am hoping that you are the one person that can help me.
Thank you in advance

Ciao Theresa my name is Maria farrace
My dad had a minor stroke October 17, 2010
He should have been in and out of the hospital
Due to the negligence of the hospital
I did my own research he was malnutrition which
Caused him to go into cardiac arrest the
Doctor I wanted to strangle him they did not
Try to revive him there was no trauma on his chest
And I go in the room they had a towel on his face
I need closure I have a meeting with the CEO
Of the hospital I suffer from major anxiety
Disorders I think I have something I will dream
And have dead ppl that are searching for
Help I tell them to leave also I have
Premonitions I know something is goin to happen
However I don’t know to who and when
We are your typical italian family I live in a community
Full of Italians Madonna Mia I am a only
Child I need to find out from my papa
What really happen that day he died
On feb 8 2011 five days shy of his
B day I went to see him at the cemetery
Talked to him in Italian I told him pa
Oh detto fai un segno Che stai

By the way I live 45 mins north of
Toronto Ontario in a town called

I’ve seen Theresa on tv 4 times in the past 18 hours (and I was working for 9 of them)…I don’t need a brick to land on my head to tell me I should try to set up an appointment with her. I’m ready and will and can fly anywhere any time and any day no matter the cost.
Thank you for your time….Lisa
I see now that so many people feel the same way I do… have lost the people closest to them .. and it just sticks with us… when you lose them early.. you just were not finished loving them yet….so I know you are busy and you may not have time,,, but if you find a free moment… I would love to talk to you…God Bless and God Bless all of you people above me…I pray you find peace… Toni
Theresa,
You have an unbelievable gift. I watched your show last evening for the first time. Yes the tears flowed for about 20 minutes. AMAZING. Let me know if you can use an Administrative Assistant. Would love to help. Keep up the good work. God Bless. Oh and yes, I would like to make an appt for January 2013 or sooner. P.S. Your a riot too. Good for you getting on the motorcycle, hate them too but you did it…
Hello, I saw your show and think you are amazing. I have been through alot of loss in my life, the main one is my Husband whom I loved more than life itself. He passed away in 2010 we were coming home from vacation myself and my girls who were 7 and 10 at the time. He died while driving on the Belt parkway, his heart had just stopped. We hit the person in front of us twice, I had to climb over the seat sit on his lap and pull the truck over. I called 911 and I have been traumatized ever since, as are my girls, all of us having seen him die right in front of us. My questions are, Is he ok? And does he visit us, and is there any messages from him? Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Theresa – I came here this evening after having seen you on the Jay Leno show. I thought perhaps you could help me, but now that I see how many distressed people are asking for your help, there seems to be no way in the world you can help us all. So many people are suffering with the loss of a loved one. In some way, it gives me comfort to know that I’m not alone. It’s so terribly sad that we are left here on earth to deal with life without them. I won’t ask for anything, because I can see how overwhelmed you must be. I hope a lot of the people who contact you receive the help they need.
This is Tracy B. Again just wanted to say on my last comment that I hope you can figure the girls fathers name is joe bales and we hope u can answer soon and yes I did call you I just hope u got my message From the phone call.. I’m ok but my girls are not….
Just need to find some comfort for my girls they lost their dad at a very early age and they want to find something to relate to their father…and they ask me all the time about their dad just need to reassure them… they are ages 13 and 17 and the oldest is having a baby they just want to know is all ok for the future??????
Hello, i have many family members and friends that have passed. Both of my parents and i was 4 when my mother passed and i don’t remember her. my father however, lived to be 94 and he passed i am going thru a lot of worry and i always ask my dad to come back and talk to me. i just want to know if everything will turn out ok for me. i feel alone because my daddy was my everything. he spoiled me and i didn’t even grow up until i was 30 i still have issues of feeling alone. i just want to know if he will bome and talk to me. i use to have dreams when i was upset but lately i have not had anything and i am going thru a verrrrry tuff time with my partner. i hope you will read this. if you get a man named jim phillips talking to you please let me know. I miss my daddy so much i can’t function sometimes. i just want to know that he is with me. and that i will be ok. i dropped everything 6 years ago and moved from GA to KY and i am thinking i may have to leave if my relationship does not get better. He was the only person that i could always rely on. Besides God.
thank you, lisa phillips
