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.”

My name is Madeline, I’m one of 7 children aging from 1-25 and I’m 17 years old. I am an identical twin and we lost our father on September 12,2012. I talked to my dad 2 hours before the fatal accident and me and my siblings want to understand what is possible. We want to have some weight lifted of our shoulders. My oldest brother had to deal with the funeral and it was the hardest thing. My sisters and I have witnessed ha does standing at the end of the bed and it was wearing what my dad wore at his funeral. We hear guitars my dad was an amazing player, and we feel him sit at the end of the bed… We would really love a reading. We are from Orlando Florida..

Hi Theresa, My grandfather passed awhile back and i used to say ‘I’ll shine you head for a quater’ as i was buffing his bald head with my arm. We would just laugh, it was a great memory. After he passed I began to find quaters every where.I had made a comment out loud one day like, ‘ grandpa , I need dollar bills if you gonna help me out.’ At that time i stopped finding them. A couple of days ago I said aloud again that it would be nice to find some of those quaters again grandpa, and this morning i foun a quater in my plate cabinet. The craziest place to find change but there it was. Is this my grandpa?

I would just like to know that my daughter is at peace and that she is watching over her little daughter who was only 4 months old when she passed away suddenly on christmas morning. I have two best friends that have both lost children also that I wish Theresa could put their mind at ease with a readng. I watch her show all the time and it makes me feel so good for the people that she helps, putting just a little closure in your life must be such a relief.
Hi Theresa.
I lost my mother in a car accident in 2006. My father was a complete wreck for years and it still hits my little sister hard (who was in the wreck with her, but left the wreck with only a scratch). I would really love to connect with my mother one more time. I believe it would be good for my father and sister too also. If your ever anywhere near the little town of Knox Pennsylvania please stop in. I must add I Just recently started watching your show and think the things you do are wonderful. Thank you
Hey Theresa,
I enjoy watching your show. I record every episode on my dvr. I lost my father in December of 2011. My mom, my siblings, and I are having a hard time dealing with it. My mom and siblings are skeptical, but I believe in mediums. I really wish to meet you one day and hope that you would be able to communicate with my daddy and let my family and I know how he is doing.
Dear Theresa,
I have been missing some loved ones for awhile now.Please if you are ever in Buffalo NY I would love a reading from you.I watch your show all the time and tape it just incase i cannot be home at the time its on.I often cry out of the happiness you bring people and wish that i may one day feel that same validation they feel.Bless you for all you do for people all over.Sincerely,Susan Barren
