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.”

Dear Theresa, My Name is Ron.I am 70 yrs old and researching my families. I was born in 1942 and lived in an orhpanage for 3 yrs. I have no recollection of my birth family. I had a sister (Barbra Jean) who was a year younger that I have not seen since. My birth parents are both gone and also my adopted parents are also gone. I never got a chance to say good bye or tell them that I love them.
I don’t know if you can give me any information or not. But would pray that you can talk with them and let them know I love them and I miss them all.
Thanks
Ron
P.S.
I watch you e very weekend and really love the show.
I would like to know who and how many are with me at all times……also love the show.
My son needs you!!!! He saw you on T.V. and doesn’t believe. He has so many things go wrong in his life that he doesn’t even believe in GOD! He was so close to his “grandma kisses” that since she past away, I felt his life all went down hill. His grandma gave him so much confidence. He needs to believe……
Greetings Theresa,
I am writing today to validate an experience my sister, my niece, and I had when you came to Connecticut back in June 2012 at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford. My sister had called me a few days before your appearance all excited you were coming and insisted we go. I have to admit I had no idea who you were. I work nights and do not get to watch TV much. However, I watch you ever Sunday night now. In any event, after many phone calls from my sister she convinced me to go. Therefore, I treated her for her birthday. Unfortunately, because we bought the tickets so late I was only able to get tickets way up in the balcony. My sister talked to my mother all day, that day. Asking for a secret sign that only her and my sister would know I had to laugh at her because I asked my sister what the secret message was and she said butterfly. Which I just thought she was crazy but while you began to read the audience, you asked I am getting the letter “P” then you asked who is “Pat” “Patricia” in reference to the letter “L”? Well by then the three of us with jaws dropped just looked at each other without responding. Perhaps, the drink we had before coming to the show turned us into idiots However; we three fools just froze and let the opportunity pass us by. Nevertheless, that was without a doubt our mother Patricia Foster who passed away December 2006. I believe she was trying to connect with us, or at least my sister Lynn. Yes, the letter L reference was my sister Lynn. I have been kicking myself for months for not jumping up and screaming “UP HERE”. I believe my mother wanted to send us a message and I am in hopes someday we will have that opportunity again. I also believe my mom is cussing us out for missing her call.
I also want you to know what a wonderful gift you have and your ability to help others is awesome.
Happy Regards,
Faye Leonetti

You are a blessing! Thank you for all you do and give! Have a wonderful week!!
Hello Theresa. My name is Madison and i am 13 years old. Me and my mom love your show and we know you are real :). My mom lost someone (just incase you come). My mom took care of her all the time and me for my mom. I dont remember her… My mom Trish feels like it was her fault she died. My mom thinks about her everyday and i know that because she told me. I would love for you to come see us. My mom needs closure. We live in washington. Please Theresa my mom needs you. Thank you Theresa for reading this and taking time out of your busy schedule to read this.
I have lost alot of loved ones but I’m taking it really hard when it comes to the death of my ex husband I have so many questions that need answering… Could you please tell me how much it would cost for a reading PLEASE….I love your show I’m your biggest fan!!!!! Thank You so much Gail Wenzel
Hi Theresa,
Threr are so many things that I think about…that I would like to have some answers to. I would like to have a reading.Do you do them over the phone? OR… Will you be coming to Michigan soon?
I think that you are great…and I love your personality.
Dear Theresa , i lost my husband sixteen months ago and our dog three months ago. I feel as I am stuck. I need surgery from a car accident, and I am to afraid to do it. I live in Washington and all my family is in Michigan. I can not seem to make a decision on we’re I should live. I feel every day is like the movie Ground Hog Day. I need some peace and need to try to live. It would truly be an honor if I could get a reading. Love your show.
Hopefully Dawn Hickman.
Thereasa, hi i am a train wreck of emotions. I would imagine that there are at least 7 spirits wanting to talk to me. I am 46 years old, adopted but I know my parents are from the Bronx NY, mother Irish, Father Italian, three best friends all dead, first from lukemia, second from a car accident but realy drugs, third from suicide(we were in a bit of a conflict at the time of his death and I never got to reconcile) This whole mess has affected my marriage, I am constantly depressed, and I am wondering why I am still here. These people shouldnt have died and I dont understand why I am here. Im 46 and just waiting for death sometimes. I love my wife and I love my family but I have lost my faith in Catholocism. I fear God more than I love him. I dont know what you charge but I will take out a loan just to talk to you. I would imagine you would be bombarded with spirits before talking to me. Rob
