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, I know you are VERY busy but I have a few issues that makes it hard to move on……..I was given away when I was 6 weeks old and adopeted when I was around 11/12 years old. My adopted mother passed away 30 years ago and I wasn’t aloud to ask about my birth family. I since then (well, only a few months ago) searched and found my half sister and half brother and a couple of cousins. I went back east to meet them…I found out that my “birth” mother passed away about 7 yrs ago. No one could help with who my “birth” father was…My birth aunt is still alive (I did get to see her) but she has dyminsha (sp) and can’t remember anything. I have felt I have a big hole in me because of not knowing who my father was…he might be deceased. it’s hard for me…I think about this everyday. Well, sorry I just start blabbing on and on and I know you don’t have the time….well, hope I get to hear from you…God Bless 🙂
Do you ever refer people out to other Mediums in other states, or have a list published somewhere?
Hi,
I am 11 years old and in 2002 I had a family member pass away. I really need some answers. I watch you on TLC every week and would love to have an appointment. Thank you! 🙂

Love your show and wish the waiting time is so long. I lost my husband of 25 yrs and my daughter, which was my whole family. I’m lost without them both! Even though I got remarried it’s not the same. I’m looking forward to having a reading from you. Your show touches my heart. You share such a beatiful gift and your are amazing.
Good afternoon Theresa,
I watch your show and I believe. I would like to get your mailing address so I can write you a more detailed letter. My niece does not know that her Mom told me that she was talking to the dead. As far as I’m concerned I thing it’s a gift from God but my niece is trying to stop this. I want to know if there is anything I can do to help her understand and accept this wonderful gift.
Sincerely
My sister and i were in a car wreck March 4th 2000. She was killed and I was in a coma. I was in a coma when the funeral was held. I am not sure if I truely remember her or i am just quoting stories I have heard. I have had 2 children since then and talk about , Chelsey, often to them. My son runs up to me and gives me a hug and kiss randomly during the day. I feel it is her doing some of that. I also have one of her music boxes in my daughter’s room and it used to go off by itself and my kids and i would always say it was her. I still feel that the wreck was partly my fault because I was driving and we had no witnesses. My mom thinks i passed out before the wreck. I would love any help you can offer so i can move on.
One word help
Theresa, i’m almost 14 and i live in Winchester, Ontario. my brother died when he was two, 15 years before i was born, he died in my dad’s arms and well. my mom has asked for signs that he’s okay and happy wherever he may be. i’m not sure how far you travel but if i could even get a comment back this would be great, it would take so many worries off my dad’s and mom’s shoulders to know my big brother is content and guarding them and my two sisters.

Dear Theresa,
I am a School Bus driver that has been living in westchester for the past twenty four years.
Came here from Brazil, where i know a Caputo family,
any relation?
The problem is that in the past year i have lost my dad,
a very dear aunt of mine and my uncle.
My uncle and aunt held a considerable wealth and specially her, had always promisse-me a big surprise
one day, i would be very happy…Trust your old lady…
Even my uncle endorsed her wishes after her passing, telling-me to move back to Brazil because i
wouldn’t need to work anymore.
When i met him again in december, his mind was gone and he passed right after that. Is my cousin, their only son doing something wrong? Theres no goodness i could expect out of him.
Should i go see my aunt’s only surviving sister, wich is death and mute. Is she holding on to her sisters wiches? A secret so to speak? Or should i just forget
everything, and work as a bus driver untill i die.
Please help-me to understand why did they do this to me? And what happened?
I don’t know if this is going to be possible, they spoke portuguese.
Anyhow, i appreciate your help.
My DAD DIED WHEN I WAS 16, HE WAS 44. I MISS HIM EVERYDAY. WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM HIM
Hi Theresa.
My Mom passed on 11/08/10, and I have being able to get over the loss. Since she passed last November, I been seeying things that are very strange to me. I don’t know what to make of it. I would like to setup an appointment with you by telephone if possible. I am in Flrorida, I know you not going to come here just to read me. Please say yes, I need to know what is going on with all this. I have talked about this to some family members and I don’t think they believe. I have been reading alot of books about life after death and I do believe in the power of GOD and is son Jesus Crist. I strongly believe that my Mom is trying to tell me something, please help.
Thank you and God bless you
Theresa I wanted to discuss gifts because there is no good book on it. I am a nurse but have always had gifts since childhood. After reading all these comments and cries out for help and closure I wish only to say my payers go out to you. Don’t carry the burdens for all that are in pain or have questions. I would never wish all this attention on anyone. God Bless.

This has got to be one of the better reality shows out there in “TV” world in a long time. I just can’t understand how you are able to control your emotions. I understand you have to – but I continuously tear up (which is not an easy feat to accomplish).
Great to hear so many heartfelt stories, it reminds you to live the life you have here and now – as you never know what’s around the corner. Make sure to tell all those you love how you feel, or you may not get that final chance!!
I would love to meet with you as soon as you are able. I love your show and think you and your gift are amazing.
