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.”

Dear Theresa, I have been so worried since the storm hit Long Island. Are you and your family ok? Please give me (even a short answer) an answer so I will quiet worrying. That storm was the worst I’ve seen. I cried when watching. I prayed for everyone who was involved in any part of that. I know the Lord answers prayers and I sure hope he answered mine. I was 2 when my mother died I often wondered about her. Love you, Bonnnie B. Gray

Dear Theresa,
I am reaching out to you about my younger brothers death. It was ruled as a train accident, however, there is a lot of foul play and deep in my heart I know it wasn’t. It has been a year and a half and my life is still turned upside down. I would live to see the day that I can actually mourn for my brother and let all if this rage out. No one on this earth us ever set up to lose a sibling….please, with all of your heart, help me heal.
Hello there. I know that the chances of hearing from you is slim to none.. But my family and I need closure from an unexpected passing. Theres a lot of self blaming for the tragedy! Family members need to know that they couldn’t have prevented it. All that will make me happy is to at least see a reply.. Even if you’re saying you’re over booked. At least you read it. My uncle was very young and sweet. Please let him know that we all love him very much! He is always welcome in our homes! Please reply!!
My family has been through a lot, and I moved away for reasons, I’m in South Carolina,and haven’t been in Connecticut to see my daughter and large family, well it’s been 13yrs Christmas and New Years. Is it possible of having a group reading with my family, the last time I wrote to you, you said you had a 2yr waiting list and I think it’s been maybe almost a year for the wait, but maybe it would be possible. You are so sweet and sincere. I would appreciate a response, I Love You, and hope is all good after the storm. Take care and I hope it could be a yes. Take care!!!! Linda

Hi Theresa, I saw u and Larry in Milwaukee on Sat. Nov. 3rd 3pm show and i laughed and cried as i always do when i watch ur show every sunday. I just want to apologize on behalf of milwaukee for all the rude people that left in the last 15min of your show. I was with my mother and sister in the upper balcony area and was sooo disappointed in the people that found it necessary to leave while you were “wrapping” up , so that they could beat the crowd or traffic. I hope u did enjoy the company of the rest of us that were not rude and not in a hurry to beat traffic. Again…… my apologies on behalf of the rude people in milwaukee and i hope to see you soon.
I love your show it really touches my heart. I would love to be able to have the opportunity to meet with you and my mother. You are very genuine and have a beautiful family. Please contact me for an appointment thank you.
Hi!I would like to ask for help for my daughter. My son,her brother, died. He was her rock. Now that he is gone she is lost and afraid that she is disappointing him. She lives in NYC, far away from home, family, and friends. If possible, please help her find her brothers’ love and encouragement. Thank you for your consideration.
