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.”

Dear Mrs. Caputo I am so lost. My husband of 43 years died on Oct.7. He was 59. He did everything and then I was thrown out into the world. I talk to him because I heard you say their spirit is with us. Oh Bob, I thought we were going to live another ten years. I miss him so. I pray to Jesus everynight not to let me wake up. But I do.I pray to die of grief but Im still here. We loved each other so much it seems like nobody in the world had this love. We met when I wwas 16. I need him back. I have so many pills from the doctor but I am afraid to commit suicide. What is I dont wind up with him. Please Theresa please help me. I am so lost. Please help me find him I beg of you. I am Italian and as you know we dont let go so easy. I beg you to help me find or be with him.
hi, theresa, my wife laura is very interested in recieving a reading from you. she watches your show all the time and just loves it. could you please contact me at you earliest time, thankyou. danny mcginn
hello i watch your show all the time and i really wanna talk to you. your a great person and mother you have a beautiful resprctful family . i know that you really busy and all with your life . but i wanted to know if you can tell me that my grandmother is ok she past in 08 n i havnt been able to get over it she was my best friend my love please if you get a little time contact me
Hi Theresa,
My name’s Mel. I’m an 18 year old girl from a small town called Rockland, Ontario Canada and I have been watching your show every time it plays. I don’t know exactly how this works, but I’m hoping you could respond to my email…I think it might interest you a little.
I’m a twin but my twin unfortunately passed away a month after our birth. Since then, I’ve been experiencing a lot of activity and I sometimes see spirits myself. It scares me a little but I know that you, of all people, would understand what I’m going through. I’m asking for a reading but I’m not sure how much it costs or when to make it. I’ve never met a medium before but my mother has and he (the medium) said that (apparently) I’m also gifted…I just want to know if that’s true since I heard that you can tell by the person’s aura. I need help but I don’t know who else to go to for it.
I also see spirits inside of my home…I could only see 4 but I don’t know exactly how many there are. I feel like I’m a portal for them … a door of some kind and they like to communicate with me … sometimes through dreams or they make me feel ill when something bad is about to happen. I’ve tried to talk to my mother about it but I don’t think she understands it very much.
I like studying in paranormal activity and such to find out more about it but there’s no real expert. You’re the only person who I can trust for these kinds of things.
Please understand and help me through this.
Thank you
Melanie
p.s. I want to learn how to control it better and to use it when I need it.
Hi Theresa,,,,,,,,,,,,I know you have a waiting list, but I would like to know how I can purchase a reading from you as a gift to someone.
Thank You

We were all she had and she was all we had.Her memory lives on in all of us.Her passing was untimely and suffered painfuly.I need to know the truth.If you could shed some lite I would be eternally grateful.
