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 name is Brandi Jarrell I lost my grandmother on Janurary 16 and that was the hardest day for me and my sister and the rest of my family. The night be for the first day of school I heard my name being called and I thought it was my little sister that was saying my name and she said it wasn’t and I kept hearing my name and I kept blaming my little sister and she kept saying it was her and so I heard it again and it sounded like my grandmas voice and I believed that she was trying to communicate with me and it freaked me out and I was wondering if you could come to Conroe,Texas and give a reading down here so I could talk to you about her and I go to Washington junior high on Martin Luther king drive its in the hood next year I will be at Conroe high and once again I would really appreciate a reading from you cause I feel like I could have done more to help her beat liver cancer and I couldn’t and it’s killing me me and my sister were by her side when she had to go somewhere and we helped her in any possible way I could.
Theresa, do you do house calls? Do you charge? How much?
Theresa, my name is Cassidy, I am a senior at Westerville North high school in Ohio. I lost my mom Mother’s Day of 2006. Ever since her death my brother and I started up a grief group at my middle school and now to my high school. There are about 20 some students that are in the grief group. I really would love to get the chance to have a reading with you and maybe with the students that are in my group. It would mean so mic to me and all of the students in the group. We have so many of us that really need to know that our loved ones are okay. Please keep us in mind! We would really appreciate it!
Thank you!
Hi I would just love to say every time I watch your show I get chills all over and watching how u help ppl makes me want to cry because I would LOVE to have the chance those ppl have had to talk to a loved one because my life has been such a mess since my grandma/mother passed last yr and everyday I miss her sooo much and life is not the same without her and I would love to hear form her someday just to have some of concerns and questions answered about her passing and how I was told by another family member that I was no longer family now that she has passed seeing as me and my brother was taken in by her and there was a lot more that happened and I would love to know that she is aware of these problems and that she is still her w us watching over us. I truly love ur work and can’t wait to find someone to help me w trying to see if I could get some closer to my hurt that I have w her absents.

Theresa, You refer to the Spirit when you are giving your readings. If you believe in God and I think you do, The only Spirit that I know that could give you the info that you give is the Holy Spirit. The Third person of the God-Head. While God does not want any of us to go to a physic for info, we are to go to Him. However, The Holy Spirit has ALL knowledge. Just felt led to say this to you.
I know that your helping others find closire which
Very selfless and humble of you! As a Medium do you
Ever want to help those that have passed find their way
Back home who have disappeared/ gone missing! Or help
Assist in solving unsolved murders. Maybe even assisting in
Giving the names back of those found unidentified so
Their families are aware of what happened to them to provide them with
A proper burial. I think that would be a productive action on your
Part for those whove had years of hurt not knowing where
Their loved ones are or who killed their loved one, bringing justice to
An innocent victim/ family for a senseless cold case homicide. Just hope
Some day you may choose that as an option.

My life has had so much separation and death that I’ve lost the confidence to love again. My first son was born imperfect, I was young, & my father had me adopt him out. My 2nd son was killed by a drunk driver at 2 1/2 yrs. My husband passed 26 yrs ago & I’ve never remarried even tho on his death bed he told me to do so. My father died in a car accident. My mother is in final stages of alzheimers. Questions: Is my eldest son alive and if so, is he healthy? Is my 2nd son with my husband & father in the afterworld? I feel so alone in this world and look forward to life eteral some day. Thankyou and God bless!
