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 Theresa,
I don’t know if I am supposed to give you information or not, but I do know I can relate to your abilities, and I also feel that you will get back to me, despite likely being bombarded with messages.
I also live in a tiny town in Nova Scotia, Canada. So, it always feels as if the rest of the world can’t see us/me. Nothing big happens here, so to hear back from you would be wonderful.
I just need to hear some things, I have questions, and a broken heart and I’m not moving ahead in my life in the ways I should. Please help me.
Amy.
I have so many dead behind me I would need multiple days to get through them all. Namely my father. I wish he wouldn’t have died when I was so ignorant of reality. I would have given him a large knife to his chest and gotten out the clogged artery that killed him in the first place. Then I would have liked to watch him squirm and bleed all over until some medics came. Then they would rush him to the hospital for no reason because he would be dead and then I’d be able to either have him thrown into a massive fire and cremated or put 8 feet under. I know I have issues. I don’t need them plastered all over television to know that.
Just wondering if you do readings over the phone. My mothers death has all but comsumed me. Just would like to know if you could help me with this
Hi I am dealing with the loss of my Grandfather. he passed away almost 3 years ago. I was the only one in family who did not make it to hospital on time before he was placed on life support. when the doctors took him off support because he was passing and nothing more could be done they gave him 24 hrs and he faught still for 3 days before he died. during this time he kept trying to say something and everyday now it kills me that i was not able to make it to hospital on time and that i could not make out what he said. I could not find a sitter for my daughter who is now 5. and hospital was a distance away from me. But now i feel so guilty and i miss him more than anything in my entire life. I tried to get there as fast as i could i tried.My grandma says she feels him with her. they were married for almost 65 years. Please help me
I just watched your show. I am a big believer in the spiritual world. My son just passed away almost 11 months ago from a severe allergic reaction to clam sauce that was mixed in the pasta and spegetti sauce. He always asked what was in the food before he ate it, but this time he didn’t ask. He was 17 years old. I miss him so much. He touched so many lives and won everyones hearts. Can you get in contact with him and tell him that I love him very much and I miss him so much. Thankyou so much. Gita
I watch your show & tears come to my eyes every time I see what a gift you have, helping people cope with their heartaches. My husband passed away 30 years ago & I was left with 6 children to bring up. My second son took his dad’s passing very hard to the point where I had to get proffesional help for him. We all miss him so much. I would like to know if he is all right & watching over his children. My second son does go in & out of depressions. It hurts me so much to see him like this. Can a person from the dead help their children to get rid of this depressin?? I wish this for him. Thanks for your time.
Theresa,
My room-mate and I have been addicted to your show since your first episode. Everyone who knows me, says I need to get a reading with you. My ex-fiance killed himself on what would’ve been our 5th Wedding Anniversary and his family only told me last yr, and even then, they wouldnt tell me much- almost as if to punish me. i know its a long wait, but I know well worth it and well worth it to get the closure I desperatley need. Thank you for being so available and bringing your gift to so many. I hope you know how special you are. Thank you! -Em
I am not shocked that TLC chose The Nanny meets the medium over Paranormal Court with Robert Hansen! At least hansen is earnest, this show is a JOKE!!!
Making people cry is CRUEL on TV.
Just watch BULLSHIT by Penn and Teller and you will know exactly what she is doing is FAKE!

I have so much to ask but so confused on what to say. I would really like to talk to you. I no your busy women with the show and everything but I would like to talk. Thanks for your time and your awesome show.:•)
Hi Theresa, I love your show. I have been a little apprehensive about trying to reach out to you. I hope this finds you and you are able to get in touch with me I lost my mom and dad both in 2005. It has been very hard for me to get pass this. I have thought of them both every single day since they both passed. I don’t know what else to do or who else I could ever trust. For some reason I feel that person is you. My daughter told me to contact you so here I am I pray that you can give me some answers.
Absolutely love your show and how your gift helps people. Would love to have a reading from you at your earliest convenience. God bless you and the good work you are doing.

Hi Theresa,
I dont even know where to begin. My father passed away in Dec and then My mother passed away 20 days later. They both were from very different causes and they were so young, 59 and 60. This has been very hard on me as at this same time my husband of 6 years was having an affair and then he walked away from our marriage 2 weeks after my mothers passing. I lost all 3 of them within 1 1/2 months. I have had many different things happen around the house late at night and I always think that its my parents…… But I am writing you today because I need them to know that I am doing ok! Also to ask them if what happens here at the house is them watching over me and my girls….. I know that they were aware of the trouble i was having with my husband. My mother was here for the holidays and saw how he was treating me and she passed so sudden. Im crying as Im writing this because I feel that you are the only one that can help me set her at ease!! We were VERY close family and I just need some answers. Will you please help!
Thank you for your time,
Tara

Cordially,
