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 my name is Jenny and although I don’t know if this goes directly to Theresa Caputo for sure or not, it’s definitely worth a shot. I am writing to you with deep concern for my Mom. I love her with all my heart and I really think she needs your help. She exists but that is it. She is here but, that is it. Since my brother passed away, she has never been the same. She can’t seem to move on from it which I understand, he was my brother and I miss him everyday, but I have come to accept the fact that for now although he is with me he isn’t with me. He was the rock in our family, he was the sunshine on a rainy day. Everyone loved him very much but no one loved him as much as my Mom. I don’t know what it feels like to lose a child, although having two myself, I know that it would be hard. I love my children very much and couldn’t fathom what it would feel like to lose one of them. I know that my Mom loves me and my step-brother and her grandchildren, but things have been declining for awhile. I have noticed a big change in her lately and it is starting to bother me. Like I said she exists but that is about it. A couple years ago I had a huge upset in my life, almost losing everything, and my Mom was there to help me pick up the pieces and fix what was broken. She is my life I wouldn’t know what to do if I lost her. I already lost my brother, and a year later my grandfather (moms dad actually) and although there wasn’t much of a relationship, I also lost my birth father. My family has been through a lot in the last 7 years, but my mom seems to be the one who has not been able to pick herself back up. I am worried about her, her health has been declining in the last 7 years she has developed blood pressure problems, and type 2 diabetes. I just don’t know which way to turn, and I don’t think any type of medication is really going to make a difference. She needs to wake up from the darkness, and come back to the light. Before all of this happened, my mom used to shine. Her husband adores her, but with all of this going on there is a strain in the relationship. My step-dad is a wonderful man and lovers her very much. She has closed herself off from the world. When I was growing up, there was always someone visiting. She has a big family and everyday one or more of her brothers and sisters would be visiting with their kids. Last few years though, out of 8 brothers and sisters, she might see or speak to one of them once or twice a month. She needs to walk beside us instead of in the shadows. Everyone loves my mom, some of my cousins would spend weekends or even weeks with us. She is so special to a lot of people. Please, I don’t really know what I am asking for, but she loves your show and believes in you. I’m not looking for an appointment time or anything like that, we live in New Brunswick, Canada. I guess I am just looking for some kind of reassurance that things are going to be ok and although I know you are a medium and not psychic, it just felt like I needed to send this to you. Thank you so much I hope there is a way to bring back my moms sparkle. Jenny

My grandma which I am very very close to’s husband died when I was 6 months old on my grandmas birthday… He was a legend in our town and still is today. Everyone knows me as his granddaughter.. She doesn’t believe in mediums, but everyone else in our family does.. We know it would be a long waiting list, and expensive, which we would be willing to pay. If there was any way we could get you to prove to her hes with her and that mediums are real… We can fly anywhere to meet you. PLEASE GET TO ME
It is the not knowing that haunts me.I need closure of my husbands death. dont understand why? Was married for 29 years found out two weeks after his death that he had confided in his sister that he was sick. Can not get over the fact that he confided in her and not me. We loved each other so very much.
Hello……. I was wondering if you could finally give me the closure I never received at the time of Papa Marios death. It has been 13 years and the core of my love for my Papa is still living the pain of the unknown. Thank you for everything you do for ALL the people you help, it truly is a gift no matter the weight I’m it bares.
I have had a disorder for 25 years. I am horrific fear daily. I am so exhausted, I was wondering if one of my loved ones from Heaven could help me?

When are you coming to Vegas, need help finding my neice murderer. she was murdered 8/5/12 in Lake Elisnore CA. stuffed in suitcase and left in hotel for 3 days. the sicko must be found and I think chris know where he is
My father passed away in March. Our worlds evolved around each other. My mother passed away December 19, 1996. In 2001, my father remarried and my step-mom was extremely jealous of the bond my father and I shared. Last week was the first time I spoke to her since April (when she threatened to call the sheriff on me if I didn’t bring back an item my father had given to me). When I spoke to her last week, she informed me that my father didn’t like me and didn’t want me to have anything. He wanted her to have everything. I was crushed as everyone that knew him knew we loved each other. To hear that he didn’t like me has destroyed my soul. I would just like some closure to know that he really did love me. The material things do not matter but the love is what I’m after. Thank you for listening to me.

My husband passed in 2004 on my kitchen floor in my arms, Ive talked to him and a voice talks back,
am i crazy? Ive had vision off an on in my life some that would scare the bee-gees out of people I have had contact from other family that has passed but not my husband.
Theresa, I hope you can help our family. Our family member went missing and we believe someone killed her. We can’t get help for the police it has been some time. She has three little boys that her grandmother is taking care of. It would be great if you could help us in finding her. She had abused drugs and it seems if you are not someone in high standing in this area you don’t get looked for. Any help you could give our family would be helpful.
I lost my mom in 2004 and then my dad in 2008. In my heart i know they are happy and together. It would be really good to know it.
I had to watch my father be taken off of life support and pass away, I really just want to know that he is ok and that he’s here with us as my 4 and 6 year old sons claim to talk to him and it quite frankly makes me sad that I am unable to enjoy that extra time with him!
