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.”

So, I just watched my first episode of you. I am 33 years old and have not had the easiest life.. I was abandoned at an early age with my youngest brother. We were separated from our older brother who never stopped looking for us…When we found each other a couple years later it filled my younger brother and I with joy. As the years went bye my older brother moved to a different town. He would still come down and see us every week. He was later diagnosed with a bad heart. My older brother Nick had heart surgery. Everything went normal. On his last Doctors visit he was givin great news that his heart was perfect and he would live a long life.This was on a Wednesday after noon when he stopped bye my house. That Monday I received a call from my brother’s girlfriend that my older brother had been murdered.It has been 4 long heart wrenching years to not know why my brother was murdered.They didn’t just murder him they gutted my brother like a fish.. They did catch a 18 year old they claim had done the murder… I am a TRUE believer that the 18 year old helped with the murder, but my women’s intuition tells me something way different.I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU WORK, LIKE I SAID I’ve only seen one episode of your show… But I feel you speak truth,and if you could please give me some kind of closure I would be so great full to you..Thank you for hearing my words, Michelle Giguiere

Hi Theresa I am writing to you in hopes that the ache that i have in my heart about what happened the night or day my younger brother died . How he died, was he in pain, did he lay there awhile? Just so many questions. The last words that i spoke to him were not nice. The pain i carry around about that is too overwhelming to bear. I loved my baby brother and i need him to know that. I wanted to help him so much, but he was making me so depressed , i couldn’t. I need to know is he at peace finally. I believe in the gift God has given you and i believe that if this is what God wants it will happen. I know you are a very busy lady and i will be patient. Thank you for helping all the other people who are in so much pain to be able to bring closure to there lifes. What a beautiful gift to have ! Thank You , Ann Wheeler

Hello Theresa, My name is Melissa. I watch your show every week. I really didn’t believe in mediums until I started watching you. You seem real. My story is,I have one sister, Michelle and she has one daughter, Lacey, that passed in 2001. Lacey died a horrible death. Law enforcement says it was an accident but there is a guy here in our home town that brags about killing her. Lacey was only 16 when it happened, Michelle cannot get closure with what happened. She also lost her life when this happened to Lacey. Theresa, I’m just asking is there any way you can help us help my sister get her life back? There was 3 other teenagers killed in this horrible accident-murder. It’s been 11 years and no one seems to want to help with this. We live in a small town in TN and everyone is afraid of the guy that brags about killing these children. Theresa if you can just tell us Lacey is ok. Please help! I believe in you, Melissa

I am 41,I lost my mother to cancer when I was 19, and my grandmother passed two years ago, I feel both of them very often, more and more lately. I have a feeling they are trying to tell me something, I get very emotional like every other day, I dream about my mom,when I wake up I am thrown off for a few days. My family and I love your show. I told my wife that I would like a reading with you for my birthday. Then at the end of tonight’s episode you said you were surprising some of the thousands of people that have emailed you. My Grandmother is a spicy matriarch, if anyone could get you drawn to me, it would be her. Can’t hurt to try. Keep up the amazing work.
