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 Theresa! You will be at Louisville Palace in Louisville, KY in October 2012. I will try my hardest to be there to see you. I lost my brother on January 26, 2012 and my husband and I had a very hard time with his loss. Is there any way at all that you can help me by letting me know that he is alright and that he isn’t upset with me for the way some things were handled after his death? Please help me, I still miss him terribly.
Thank you,
Wendy Sizemore
please let me know about my son Joshua and the other childern in our family
Hello Theresa….I’m currently watching the episode where your son and husband decide to go sky diving. Earlier tonight I spoke with my son. He is a recent West Point grad and will make his 1st jump in Airborne School tomorrow…..Love your reactions to their adventure. I feel the same way…I’m laughing with you and crying because I am nervous. I too use the “rat’s ass” remark constantly….
Love the show, your family is wonderfully hilarious and beautiful. You and your husband have done an amazing job raising your children. I’m just saying!

Theresa,
If there is anyway possible I would like for you to try to get a venue in Merrillville, IN at the Star Plaza. I am not able to travel to Wisconsin and that would be the closest to my home in Indiana. I watch you on TV and you are amazing. I also have an 85 year old Mother that would love to meet you also.
Thank you,
Cathy Carson

HI My name is Gina, My mom passed in 1999 on July 2nd. When she did, I was in a very bad place in life. Addicted to heroin and only thinking of myself. Since then my granddaughter was born and that is when I got clean and worked my program. I asm a completely different person now and have another grandbaby. His name is Chase and I’ve been clean for 6 years. My most wish is to know my mother knows that I’m clean and that I wasn’t able to handle her death at that time, how more selfish could I have been. My mom was such a great woman, every loved her and she was friends with everyone. I just want to know if I can be her friend, I think of her every day and say hi to her picture that is on my refrigerator, every time I see it. Theres no greater woman than she. Can you help me and my daughter hear from her or let her know that we think of her all the time. Thank you for your time, Gina.
Hey theresa I watch your show every Sunday.I always watch it and think.I wish I could meet you with my husband.but I don’t know how to contact you and get an appoinment 🙁
