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.”

hey im curious to know if u come to canada?
Enjoy your show very much. I understand you are coming to San Diego, Ca. in Nov. Are you doing any private readings? I lost one daughter last year to cancer and another daughter this year to cancer. One just turned 54 the other 51. I miss both very much and would like to know they are both ok.
Could you give me an idea of how much you charge??
Thank you and God Bless

Dear Theresa
Hi I love your show. I hear things “auditory things” no one else can hear these things that I hear. I mostly hear my daughter Paige sometimes my daughter Ashley as well as my husband. My family is right with me when I hear them being sad or in pain and anguish.I would love to know if you could help me with my problem? I take medications sometimes they help. I dont ever answer my e mail theres to much spam on the web site. If you could call me collect on my cell phone sometime I would love to talk with you. I have a happy family I try real hard to be a good mother and I think I am. I lost my own mother to sucide when I was 6 months old. I was then adopted. I had a great father and a not so great mother. I dont have an awful life but it The auditory hallucibations always take the good events and make them hard to enjoy. I sometimes feel like there might be someone from beyond trying to get my attention for some reason. I would like my family to not always have to put up with my problems it dosen’t seem fair to them. If you have some time ” I know your very busy.” I would love to know what you think. Thank you for your time. I will continue to watch your show. Thanks Lynn.
Hi theresa im going through some trouble time right nw in my life in i have guilt in my heart that is so hard to let go. I believe you can help me when that time comes i’ll be greatful for the lord to let you reassure me that i’ll be ok and that my happiness will come soon. If you get the chance to connect with my family let them know I love them with all my heart. Thank you, love always

My brother and I was very close. He was truly my best friend and my protected. Eight years ago he passed away at a young age in a very unexpected incident .He was shot in the head and the neck by a police officer. His loss took part of me with him and I can not seem to get closure. I really need to know what my brother went through and how he felt. I would love to know his feelings and pain. I feel this is the only way for me to have the closure needed. My brother and I was so close up until about 1 year before he passed away. We didn’t speak for a whole year and I had no idea what he was going through. I would love and I need to have contact with him so everyone would know what he had to go through on that tragic day. I want to be able to feel a peace about his loss and don’t think I will be able to until I know how he is and what he went through.
Hi Theresa I lost my both grandmas at an early age and I never knew my grandfathers I’m only 24 but within my 24 years of living I’ve lost a lot of family members. I was wondering if any of them were trying to connect with me?
I Talked to my sister, Sonja, for the first time in our lives on Facebook in June of 2011. We were brought together by another one of our sisters, Theresa, that knew we all existed through our Fathers obituary. About 2 weeks later Sonja’s only two kids were both shot and killed in the same night! She was told that one shot the other and then himself but we are really unsure about how it happened. All I know is my sister struggles with this everyday of her life. Could you imagine loosing BOTH of your kids and not knowing what really happened or why?! She NEEDS help! She NEEDS answers! I am afraid that she is not going to be around long if she doesn’t get some! She no longer “lives” her life but merely exists. We have gotten very close and Theresa seems to think that if it weren’t for me Sonja would not be here now. We share the same Dad but different Mothers. Neither Sonja or Theresa knew our Dad. I did. PLEASE tell me how we can get with you to try to get some help for my Sister! She is a beautiful, wonderful, and very loving person and I really want and need to help her!I can’t stand to see her in so much pain. I know that her boys would not want her to live like she has since they passed. If they had known what it would do to her to loose them they never would have let this happen. They were VERY close to their mother! Sonja and Theresa were raised together. Sonja and I are only 6 months apart in age. Theresa is the oldest of us. PLEASE HELP! Please let me know how we can get to you to try to help my sister! I just got her and I couldn’t stand to loose her! I love her so much! PLEASE let me know how I can help her!! PLEASE!!!
hi Theresa,
I know I will never get the chance to meet with you as I live near Montreal,Quebec, Canada.I do believe in the spirit world and that my parents are together in a happier place I do not wish to know when I am to die, that’s up to God. I am not afraid, If it is possible I would like to know if my mom was pleased with the poem
i put in my book, which was called Life is not a fantasy, I wish we could have been closer as I wish she was here, but totally understand as to why she was so tired at the end, i just wish i could have said good-bye ,does she know how sorry I am for certain things?Keep up that great gift you have,
thank you long happy healthy life to you and yours
