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.”

Theresa, I know how busy you are, and I know how many people out there have a lot more important issues but I just found out, today, that I have a twin sister. In heaven. It really upset me, I’m 14 years old and ive always wanted a sister, when I found out that I actually do, I cried. I can, somehow, feel her with me. I just really would like to at least connect with her. To talk to her and tell her how much I want her with me, beside me. Nothing on Earth would make me happier than to talk to my sister. She died before she was able to be born. She was unhealthy and they didn’t think I was gonna live. I just feel like she died to soon. So maybe, hopefully, I might be able to somehow get a reading from you, I live far away though. Advice is helpful too:) anything really. Thank you for reading:)
You’ve opened my eyes to the possibilities.
Thank You.
Hello Theresa, I just wanna start out by saying I kinda but didnt really believe in Mediums, until I started watching your show.

I find at times a closeness with God and a good sense of life after death. But I always wished for certainties, watching your show allows me to keep the faith. I would love to arrange for a group meeting with you and what do I need to do to make it happen. After watching one of your shows a question came to mind. Have you ever been in contact with a non Christian spirit. I was born catholic and today continue that faith. I also believe regardless of your faith, we all will be saved and my faith clearly states you need to go through Christ to get to heaven. If possible, can you share with me your insights.
Hi Theresa, to start my whole story off i would like to say i personallly am a HUGE fan! I watch your show all the time and know what your capable of, thats why im contacting you. I play for my school volleyball team and things at our school are getting out of hand. My teammates have seen a ghost like figure, of a girl thats in a cheer uniform. Two days ago, we were informed that a cheer leader had died at our school, years ago. Today my our team was talking about the ghost and my phone started acting up.. So i turned it off and then off. My screen started flashing and then a msg popped-up on my screen. It was a text from no number (blank), no words or anything, and dated July 13, 1980. We are freaking out Theresa, we need your help! You are coming to our hometown soon on a tour! contact me and we can meet up!
please contact me. When I watch your show I’m always in tears beacuse i was born with a gift that was past down. I need your help.
Theresa, Im in desperate need of your services, I honestly do not trust any other medium but you,ive seen what your capable of. And I seriously need your help ! Its Urgent. Contact me through email ASAP for further details !!
Teresa You are amazing! You made me a beleiver !I would like to find out what my deceased 2010 husband has to say about it ! How do we meet you for a reading? Cj DO NOT POST MY NAME PLEASE
Our son died 09/01/2012, we would like a reading. he says he wasn’t suppose to die. We need help. We believe in spirit & we hope he’ll help resolve this so we can have closure.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION to this email. I’m 34 years old and I’m not going to lie I have only seen bits and pieces of your show. Just the other day I was channel surfing and you and your husband were in a tattoo shop. You started to feel uncomfortable while ur hubby was getting a tattoo and it caught my attention. When you started feeling uncomfortable I thought what a crock of shit….but then I kept watching and you made the comment that there was a ouiji bored in the building and it made you uncomfortable and you became anxious. That was the moment that I thought you had a possible gift because you said it felt like there was unfiltered energy. Long story short at my age I have had so many deaths in my life starting at the age of 13. This has been a trend from loosing my grandfather tragically in 91 to one of my best friends in 96 my other friends in 98, 99 to my cousin in 02 and many more. I feel like there is something wrong with me and its something I have held in for years other than sharing my feelings with my parents and they have no answers for me. Last year my husband fell off a roof and almost died and my first instinct was asking myself, what the heck is wrong with me??? I have two daughters that I adore 15 and 11 and I truly am living my life every day in fear of something happening to them. I am a Christian and believe that God is in control but I suffer every day just wondering why have I encountered so much death when all of my friends, family, husband etc. have maybe experienced one or no close deaths. I’ve never reached out in any way, shape or form just thought that maybe you would be interested in my story. I know I’m one of several people your trying to accommodate. Please take the time to consider my story and getting back with me. Thank you.
Ms. Theresa, if only words could describe how much and how important it is for me to connect with my daddy. My parents divorced when I was 10years old. My mother did not want custody of me but my father desperately did so, he raised me. I am an only child. My daddy was in law enforcement for many years and I have spent numerous nights with the dispatcher at the police dept because my dad was called to duty. He was a underover narcotics agent which meant he pretty much was on-call all the time. Needless to say, we were very, very close. I lived at home until I was 27years old. One year exactly after I finally was brave enough to move into an apartment with my girlfriend, my daddy passed away at the age of 51. I have missed him so much, many health problems, depression, etc…. that I have often times considered suicide just to be with him. I have no children, I am not married (dating forever) and my grandmother (his mother) died 2 years ago. I just really need to know that he knows what I am doing, he has heard my tears, and hopefully he is aware that I continued on with my education to receive my Masters in Nursing and Family Nurse Practitioner Degree. I am willing to meet you anywhere at anytime. I really need to know that he is ok. I was with him the last 20 min of his life and I was the one to tell him to “rest” and that I would be ok. I miss him more than anything in this world and feel sooooo alone at times. I would be grateful for anything you could help me with.
