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.”

I have been looking for someone that may help shed some light on what it I sthat I am experiencing. Sometimes I feel such a presence and feel things that are going on around me that you cant exactly see. I would truly like to know if these feelings that are so strong are spiritual innature. sometimes I think they are but its hard when people around you think you are crazy. if you have any advice I would love to hear it. or tell me how to tap in better to the spiritual side. thank you.

Hi Teresa, I would like to talk to someone that that sexually abused me, and my mom that passed also someone that I felt alot of affection for when he passed, i am married, but had feelings for another man.
He Theresa,
I watch your show and I cry at every episode. What a blessing your gift is. I lost my mother well over 30 years ago. I was 18 and now I am 51. I have never felt her. I have gone to other mediums and they cant feel her or say she is far away. I miss her. If ever I hope one day to see you. I believe nothing is by chance. Maybe the day I meet you you will be able to put my mind and soul at rest. In the mean time..thank you for sharing your gift
Hello there Theresa,
My name is Samantha. I realize this is like a 1 in a billion chance but about 2 months ago I lost my pet dog of 14 years so he was with me since I was born. I know you probably cannot communicate with animals, but he died in a tragic accident and i cry almost everyday with this heavy feeling in my heart feeling guilty for his passing. He was literally my best friend. And if I had just gotten out of bed that morning..he would still be here. Theresa, I cannot begin to explain how much I need closure or even just for someone to tell me he is okay. Thank you for even reading this.
hi there my sons dad has passed away 3 yrs ago and i wanna know if he is with my son and looking over him
Hey there, my name is Michaela and I live in Pennsylvania. A close family friend of mine just died this morning. He was like a grandpa to me and my mom and I are a wreck today.. we can’t find his will or remember if he wanted to be carpeted or what and we just want some help. I am 15 years old and it would give me hope to hear from him, I didn’t get to say goodbye and I just miss him so much… Please email me, I need this…
Hello Theresa! I love to watch your show, I’ve gotten the family into your show as well. In Feb.2011 we lost our son/brother/nephew/ grandson/best friend to many. Without anything said…i/we all have so many questions of why!? Could we have done something?! Was he mad at the family, me (mom)? At times I don’t know how to cope with him being gone and would love to have the chance to have a reading, go to you, anything!!! I’m a single parent but ill do just about anything to try and talk to him, to hear why, what…anything! I’d love some type of response, even if its a sorry I cannot help. Thank you, traci
