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 need help contacting a great- grandfather. Do you ever help people by phone or mail? Thanks, Julie
I love watching you and I need you to help me with alot of my losses. I’ve had over a dozen significant losses in the past 2 decades. Its alot for a person to take and I’ve been read by some fakes in that they didn’t have the right names, initials or anything. I still have hope I might have one of my loved ones come through for me. Everyone says I have alot of energy around me and if this is true why can’t I find a true reading?? Please contact me if you will. Thank you!!
Why are so many people giving up so much information about themselves to a medium? Do you want Theresa to tell you things you’ve already exposed?
I have lost a lot of family in my life and would love to hear what they have to say, I lost my mother when I was eighteen and wish I could have just one more talk with her I miss her everyday if you can help me I would really appreciate it thank you Christal Abraham
Dear Theresa,
I believe in you 120%! I sometimes feel “presences,” but of course, nowhere near to you. I think my daughter (2.5 years old) might be tapping into energies /spirits too, but a bit too early to tell. We recently moved from NY to CT, but visit NY all the time. I would love to schedule an appointment with you, but I know how busy you are and I am sure there are many truly suffering people who really need you asap. I just want to tell you how great it is to finally see a REAL person with a gift and not some fake who is just out to scam people. I can’t even watch some of your episodes, the ones about kids just make me start crying. G-d bless you and your family!
LISTEN TO ME EVERYONE. THERESA HAS AN EMAIL ADDRESS SEND YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER TO HER THERE…DO NOT POST THEM HERE YOU ARE OPENING THE DOOR FOR SCAM ARTIST WITH NO HEART TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU. I AM SURE MS CAPUTO WOULD LIKE TO HELP AS MANY AS SHE CAN BUT THERE ARE THOSE OUT THERE THAT WILL USE YOUR INFORMATION AGAINST YOU AND MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL. ONCE AGAIN FIND THERESA’S CONTACT INFO TO POST YOUR PERSONAL ADDRESSES OR PHONE NUMBERS.
Hello, I am not dieing or anything, I only know a few people who have died. I am just afraid to die. So I kind of live my life like that, afraid to die. Its really deep seeded in my mind. So what happens on death. What about bad and good people any difference. I want all my memories, I don’t like the reincarnation thing, cause that just means you cease to exist. Do you eventually just cease to exist? What is your thoughts?
Love, love, love your show. My husband of 20 years passed away in July, 2011, somewhat unexpectedly. I miss him terribly. We were together 24/7 for 20 years. I would love to know if he is with me spiritually and if he is okay. I am only 57 years old, he was 66. Can you do a reading over the telephone? Please contact me if at all possible. I am having a really hard time. Can’t sleep, eat, etc. All I do is cry all day every day. I love and miss him so much. I know there are thousands of people just like me who want to know something about their loved ones who have passed. It is quite obvious that we are all aware that there is something to this and we all want some answers. I know you can’t possibly answer all of the e-mails you are receiving, but if you could just try andgive some of us some peace of mind there would be a whole lot of happier people in the world. Love you and God bless you and yours. Jo
I never do this type of thing but would love to talk to you. We all want to talk to our loved ones who have passed nor would i certainly think i am more special than anyone else, however there are children involved and i would love to give my babies peace.
Hi, Theresa
Im 14 years old and I think you are so expiring.
I would love to somehow get a hold of you because
I would like to see if u could see my big brother who
Passed away a little over two years ago on July 26 2009.
It was a very unexpected death because it was an armed
Robbery at his work he was 18 years old when he died
It was very hard for my family and friends and his girl friend.
And I just wanted to know how to get a hold of you.
I am interested in a reading. I realize that it will take at least until January of 2013 or later.
Please contact me to let me know what I have to do to set up an appointment.
Thank you,
Susan Argutto
Hi Ms. Caputo,
A year ago, 3 weeks after my wedding, my brother took his own life. He was only 26 years old. If you happen to encounter him please tell him how much we miss him.
My brother’s only son who is 2 years old looks at his fathers picture and talk to the photo like my brother is around. My brother did not leave any note, he was a very happy guy… We are left with a lot of questions but accept our lost…
I just want to know that he knows we all love him. The world is really not a dark place. But we simply hope and wish he found peace.
We just want to know that he did find peace.
Thanks
Donna
Hi Theresa, I would love to set up a meeting with you. I feel that someone is trying to get in contact with me. I would just love to set up an appointment with you.
Thank you, Ann
