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.”

My husband passed away 1-23-12 at home. He was serious diabetic, on dialysis towards the end of his life. I noticed he was getting very weak and very tired after treatments several months before his passing. When he passed away unexpectedly, it threw me for a loop. I would love to have a reading to see that he is alright, at peace. There isan’t a day tha goes by that I don’t think about him. I miss him so much..it would be so helpful if I could get a reading.
Thank you for your response in this mater

Theresa, I’m interested in speaking with you. My sister Dianna was murdered in 1986(domestic violence) & my family & I have had unanswered questions & fears in regards to her death. we rest abit better knowing she is now with our parents. I’m #5 out of 6 girl’s….I just recently stopped running……abuse with alcohol and never being able to let go!!!! All of us girl’s just want to know what really happened & to know that she is at peace. I look forward to your reply!! Sincerely. Kari Anne Ness-Mclaughlin
Teresa My name is Lori and both my parents have passes away. Within the last 5 years my entire family has passed away (except my kids thank god) and once everyone was gone my husband of 13 years left me for a younger woman. Now I get to raise three kids by myself. I know my Mom is soooo mad at my X as am I. I feel as if I am all alone in this big mean world. My mom and I are from back east although I am now loving on San Diego. I tried so hard to get a ticket to your show. I know if I am any where near you my mom would annoy you so much you would have to send me a message. My mom is not a quiet woman but she never said a thing about being sick. I have no idea to this day what she passed of. Please help me understand and perhaps give me some peace so I can attempt to move forward and get a life for myself. The world keeps moving forward and zi am stuck…
Thank you so much. I never miss a show and I feel so welcomed when you are on because I am from your neck of the woods and out here in California I stand out..
Dear Theresa,
My Sister passed away by way of suicide about 21 yrs. ago. My family is still having a hard time accepting this because we don’t really know why she would have done this. She did go through a time of deep
depression in which we put her in the hospital for about 3 months. The main thing is that we would like to know why she even went through this depression. What was actually bothering her enough to make her want to take her life. We would like some closure.
Thank you for your time.
my fiance’s mother passed with alzheimers and he still can’t get over it; I keep telling him that she is with us now. I wish there was a way to comfort him and let him know she is at peace.
I would like to know how much it cost for an appointment or a reading do you do them over the phone there is a lot going on in my life right now wondering if you had any answers I live in Florida I’m dying to speak with you please respond either way love the show you’re wonderful person continue to bless others you are blessed to be a blessing love vickie
I miss both my parents have passed, im looking for those answers
I lost my cousin and my grandpa within a few months of eachother. my cousin lived his life on the edge and died while having fun.I prayed for my grandpa and I prayEd that he would pass peacefully and that all my family would make it to say goodbye..also that I would know he was okay. I hada dream about my grandpa in heaven before he passed. He was so happy. I want to know if my cousin knew how much I loved him around because he was so happy and I want to know if my grandpa knew about my huge prayer being answered.
Watching your shows for the first time and having an anxious and sick feeling in my stomach. I am feeling very uneasy right now as I watch you….Can you tell me why this is happening to me, are you hearing any messages for me when you read this? You are phenominal to watch at work. Your gift is so special and has helped so many people change their lives. Keep up the good work, and I know I have no chance to meet you due to your long waiting list. Thank You for reading this e-mail. Ann QK.
