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, My daughters and myself are big fans of your show, we watch it, record it and then discuss it all the time, its so interesting. How can you make an appointment for a private appointment? We all live in Virginia. I find what you do to be entertaining and also fulfilling to people who are struggling to manage through grief, its a very difficult process. I do hope that people are appreciative of your help and not act rude and selfish as so many reality TV shows.

Theresa, two years ago today 11/23/12, My nephews mother passed away very suddenly. Anyway they had a “falling out” and he never got the chance to make peace before she was abruptly taken from him. I struggles everyday with grief and con not have closure. I would love for him to know how his mother feels and if peace can be found for him. How can I help my Godson, it tears me up that he is hurting so badly. Love your show and I hope that you can help me.
I have missed my best friends and soalmate for more than 25 yrs now. We bonded over things no one could eveer understand or take away. We were best friends since we were about 16 yrs old until our early 30’s before he passed tragically. Because of things that had happened right before his passing, I was dismissed as insignificant. This has both hurt and haunted me. It took me 11 yrs to start moving on with my life again. I did eventually meet and marry a very wonderful man which I think I was guided to by my deceased friend. I know he is one of my Guardian Angels. After listening to Teresa, my dreams of him are more positive and bright instead of the hurt and darkness they used to be. Thank you for allowing me to Channel the postive that was there when he was alive… Someday I hope Teresa will come to Salt Lake City and I really hope I am choosen for the message I have needed to hear for so long.

I have lived most of my life with my mom. She could do anything and worked herself todeath. We did everything and I took her to all of her Dr ‘s appointments,she even felt that my boys were as much hers as mine. When she got really bad on the last year or so I worked in another state and she went with me.She was in her late eighty sand It was a three hour drive and a 7day 12hr shift, but she never complained. Later she was told by some of her family that I was hateful to her and I know she believed it I tried to ezplain that I was never unset ot her but I was so mad about the cancer. She said that she would have no one to carry her to her grave which she had extra. Did she see it. Also now my health and life is not so good and acouple times I though that she had come by. Sorry to be so talkative I miss her more than she knows. I have wondered why we both didn’t die when I had a cad wreck. It wasn’t bad but I have seen people die fron alot less
I,m a huge fan of yours.. and one day i would love to meet you, if your ever in Clearwater,Fla I would like to be informed…I’d be there in a moments notice. I resently lost my mom (5/23/12.I would like to know if she’s at peace. I do believe she’s with me in some way or another.Her death was sudden and devastating to me and my family.I miss her so very much that it hurts.She was loved by so many people.I’m not sure if that pain will ever go away.If you ever have the chance(lol)please cet in touch.
Hi Theresa! I’m a big fan. I was wondering if you have ever helped a family who had a missing child? Maybe the child was dead & the family was still searching for them & you contacted the missing child & helped the police apprehend the criminal? Also have you ever had a brain scan done (while you we’re channeling) to see if your brain is functioning some how differently or maybe is developed more in some area? I know Marilu Henner(sp?) has the ability to remember EVERY single day of her life. She did have her brain scanned & there was a section of her brain was larger than the average person. I am just so fascinated by your gift & wonder if there is a way to develop this ability to some degree for myself.

hi theresa…i live in missoula, montana. my mother june florence krafft (1930-1966) grew up and went to high school in hicksville, ny. she passed when i was a young boy. she had a very large family of siblings. can you help me get information on my long lost family? i saw you on dave letterman show. what you do is amazing. love and light, tom.
I was wanting to know something , if you could help me .I saw a vision of my mom after she passed. It looked like her for about 5 minutes. Then it was like a black shadow.What was that? I was told that it might be the devil pretending to me her. I just wish I knew. Also my sister thought our mom was mad at her for something. I thought she was mad at me when she was in the hospital. She wanted me to get her a glass of water and I couldn,t. She thought we were at home. She was my best friend and I wish I knew if she were with my dad. I watch your show every Sunday night.I better go . Good luck with your show.
