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 Theresa, my names Kelsey and im 17 years old and i watch your show all the time,ive been having the hardest time with the passing of my uncle(2003,4 wheeler accident) my grandma(2007, Cancer) and grandpa(2010,Cancer) itd mean the world to me if i could know they were alright and still with me because i carry the guilt daily of not seeing them as much as i could before they died knowing they were sick. i miss them so much i just dont know what to do anymore. i hope you see this and i hope to talk to you. please and thank you.
recently lost a close friend and have not been able to deal with it. i battle depression…i miss him everyda…..would love to know that he is not upset with me because i didnt come see him before he passed
Never mind about the ring I lost that my mother gave me before she passed. I saw your show tonight when you told your children & your husband that you’re not the lost & found. So disregard my message to you. I’m sure if I’m meant to find the ring it will come to me.
How do we schedule with you? The wait is not a problem. Thanks, Allen

I have had dreams about her and I told my family but no one believes me so again please contact me and please email me back(: thank you

Hi Theresa
My name is Gina Chappell and I’m from Pine Bluff Arkansas. The love of my life committed suicide a few years ago and I want nothing more than to connect with him just one last time. I want to know if he is happy with the things I’ve done or is he disappointed. I want him to know that I still love him more than anything in this world and I hope he continues to be with me.
THRESA, I WATCH YOUR SHOW AS MUCH AS I CAN. I THINK WHAT YOU DO FOR PEOPLE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. YOU ARE SUCH A KIND PERSON TO GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO MAKE PEOPLE AT PEACE WITH THEIR LOST LOVED ONES. I WAS A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN MY DAD COMMITTED SUICIDE. ITS A DAILY STRUGGLE LOSING HIM IN MY LIFE! MY SISTER AND I HAVE HAD SUCH A HORRIBLE TIME MOVING ON FROM HIS DEATH. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE SO BUSY AND HELPING SO MANY OTHERS… IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET WITH YOU, YOU WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE. I JUST WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM, AND WHY HE WAS SO DEPRESSED AND WHAT MADE HIM WANT TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE. IF I EVER GOT A RESPONSE FROM YOU, I WOULD LITERALLY BE THE MOST HAPPIEST PERSON ON EARTH. I ALSO UNDERSTAND IT WOULD BE A ONE IN A MILLION CHANCE THAT YOU EVEN SEE THIS. I WISH THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AND I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE ONE HELL OF AN AMAZING PERSON FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR OTHERS! THANKS!
