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.”

Hello, I want to start out saying I would love to be a medium I think it must be the greatest gift but also tirering and a little annoying no time to spend with your family but unbelievable to help others talk to their loved ones! On another note I’m writting because 2 years ago on 4/17/10 my dad passed of a heartattack unexpetedly, 2 months before me and my brother graduated high school.I would love to know if he is around and watched my brother an I walk acrss the stage? Also if he saw everything we have done for him and was there when we got his tattoo? And if he accepts my fiance and will be there in July when I get married? Also if the spirits always stay around, like if they know we cry for them if they know and come to us? If I could please get a response I would appreciate it thank you!
Hi Theresa~
I enjoy you, your family and the show!
You were blessed with an amazing gift, it intrigues me.
I lost my parents in 2003 and 2006 and haven’t been able to move forward. I never felt like my parents loved me or were proud of me, I never felt like I was special or important to my parents. I feel like a disappointed them always, could never do anything right.
I would love to schedule a session.. Would you please let me know how to book that session. I appreciate your time and attention to my request. Happy Mothers Day Theresa!

She grew up in between long island and farming dale with my grandmother who also recent passed. Please I am desperate to contact u and get in your waiting list

I lost my sister about 6 years ago who I adored. She went through much suffering for many years because of an AVM in her hyperthalmus. I am not sure why I am even writing to you. I think of my sister every day and love her more than words can ever express. We were very different but not quite 2 years apart and could talk about anything and enjoyed each other immensely. There are times that I think of her and feel like God and my sister have provided me with another sister/friend to cherish. I am entering my 50s but feel her presence strongly. She was a super sister. You are a very strong women to handle your gift in the light and not in darkness.
Theresa,
My sister had her best friend die about a year and a half ago. She was such an amazing girl! She was very important to my whole family and many others. I’ve seen my sister struggle without her. I would love to get you to visit with her and give her the closure that I feel is critical in their friendship. It would mean so much to her and my family! Thank you so much for all you do. It truly is amazing!

I watch your show every chance I get. I’m adopted and was brought up by two amazing parents. It all began in 1993 I lost my grandfather, then in 1994 I lost my father due to a brain tumor, then lost my grandmother in 1996 of alzyhemers, lost my grandfather in 1998 due to a stroke then lost my grandmother in 2009 of older age. As you can see I’ve had a lot of losses in my 34 years of living . I would love to know my father and grandfather are with me it’s been a real hard road for me in the years of dating and marriage. I’ve had one marriage fail and my previous marriage on the verge of failing please help me come closer to my loved ones. I have always felt the male role models in my life have either passed on or left me down to my biological father not wanting me. Please help me move forward and come to peace with these things. Please contact me thank you for your time.
Iam a greatgrandmother who adopted three of my greatgrand kids i worry all the time about not being here to see them grow up. I lost my mother at a very young age,and know body in the family has time of want to be bother with them.I need you to contact me when you have time.
Theresa,
I watch your show as much as time allows. I’m addicted. I have had alot of unexpected death in my life and it gives me comfort when I watch your show. If I could- I would move across country just to have a chance run-in with you. So much unsetteled emotional business in my heart. What it would be like to have one more moment with them. You give that to people…what an amazing gift. Keep up the awesome work. You rock. Who knows, maybe someday our paths will cross. Blessings to and yours.

Hello Theresa,
I am a 42 year old mother of three. I lost both my mother and my grandmother within 8 years of each other. It has been so hard at times, though my mother didn’t raise me I loved her my way. And as for my grandmother who did raise me it hurts so bad all the time. She was my best friend and it seems like after all these years I would be at peace but I’m not and it causes me to shut down from March- May. Please help me to move on, I know neither of them would want me to stay stuck as I am.
Hi Mrs. Cuputo,
I’ve just started watching your show. And you amaze me! I’m a Christian and have always felt mediums were only making contact with bad/evil spirits. My precious mother passed away in 2004 and my fragil father passed away in my arms 1997. Both were so very special to me and I would like to know if they are in Heaven and feel like I’ve made them happy and proud. My sibilings are mostly estranged right now except on sisiter and I. Some VERY hard feelings to say the least!!! I’m lost at to what to do (if anything). I’d like to think there is something I could be doing but feel like I’ve exhasted my efforts. I hope they don’t feel like I’ve EVER let them down!!!!!!! May God keep blessing you and your family for all that you give up to bless others.
We want a reading so bad My mom and my cousin and aunt we enjoy your show so much My dad died when I was 5 y.o. and I am now 45 I `d love to connect w/ my spirit guides and angels looking forward to our meeting<3
Hi Theresa, I watch and enjoy your show every week. I would like to have the opportunity to meet with you as I lost my father nearly 50 years ago and have not been able to understand that up until today I cry whenever I think or speak of him. I would like to know why this is still happening and what is behind these feelings. Thank you.
You are awesome—Theresa!!! You have to be so brave and selfless to do what you do. If I’m unable to watch one of your shows I will record it. I haven’t missed one. I love how you help others. I hope you can read me one day. My Dad passed away from Cancer. We were never close when I was growing up. After I was married at age 21, we began bonding closer with each visit. When we finally reached the closest we’d ever been in our father/daughter relationship, he became ill and died within a few months. He had been very healthy all of his life and it was a shock. I was in denial and thought he would get better despite what the Dr. and others said. Please help me reach him in someway. I’ve had some weird things happen and I know it’s him trying to connect, however having you be the conduit would be my dream come true. I miss him soooo much!. I await your response with hope and appreciation. Vicki Reynolds

Hello, how r u? First I would like to say my wife and I r huge fans not just of the show but of the kind and generous person u r. U help a lot of people and these days everyone is about themselves. We are going threw a very tuff time, Iam an iron worker and was working at the trade center and got hurt and have been going to court for two years now, and from being injured I developed a blood clot and the snow ball kept rolling, two days b4 I found the clot my wife’s mother passed away from something similar, the worst part was her mom lived in Florida we live in New York, we used to live in queens then Franklin square but had to move back to Queens because of financial reasons. My wife is not the same person because she blames herself and also it kills her that she wasn’t there for her. There are also things that don’t make sense that she would love to know. I would love to make her smile again we r both only 32 and shouldn’t feel this way for so long so if there is n e way I could have her see u if I can afford it, it would mean the world to both of us. She doesn’t know I’m doing this in case I can’t afford it I don’t wanna let her down. I thank u 4 ur time and thank u 4 all u do 4 others, God Bless
