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.”

Hi Theresa,
You have an amazing gift. You prove to doubters that there is a life after death and give hope to the living that they will see their loved ones again. That is enough for me! I hope this new found fame does not overwhelm you as has happened to others. Learn to take time to tune out the voices and take time for your family (i hate to admit it, but your husband is right). It is important to honor the living in your life as well and to appreciate what is an arms reach away. Wishing you All the best and remember to take a break sometimes-Remember, even God took a day off:)
i’ve lost a loved one very close to my heart. i would like to know if this person hears me when i talk to them. I talk to them everyday. I need to know if they think I did enough for them when they were alive.and if they think i gave up on them, cause i didn’t give up and it was a very very hard decision for me to make. thank you for you time. I watch your show and I even DVR it when i cant see it. 🙂

As you must know, Theresa does not schedule bookings through this page. There is contact information available in many places, including an email address and a phone number.
But please let me try and help.
The cardinal is your father. Your mom is identifying herself another way individually to you, you just haven’t found the sign…yet. You didn’t need me to tell you this. Your father met your daughter before her birth. He held her, and he told her what she already knows. She needs to believe in herself. She’s in contact with both of them. Each of you are.
They are not only watching over you, they are trying to give you peace by telling you that they are once again together, happy, loving you, and loving her. The bond between your daughter and your father is strong, and it will grow. Like your mom, he’s giving other signs that you need to look for. Your parents don’t always come through together, but they are together, and they are with you.
Your daughter talks to both of them, and they talk back to her. It is not her imagination. For the record, it’s not yours either.
I hope you see Theresa soon. In the meantime, hold on to your belief in cardinals. You mom is using that form when they want to communicate together, but again, she has her own. You already know what it is; you just haven’t put two and two together yet, because your doubt and heartache for your mom is getting in the way. You’ll find it: your father will tell your daughter what to look for once that 10-year-old of yours really believes that she is talking to them. Listen, and then look.
If you want to know how I know, post again on the discussion board. Your parents are going to tell you to check. Then I’ll share. 🙂

Harsh. I told everyone to ease up, too, but watch your words carefully. These people reaching out have tormented souls. Let them have faith and peace. Sometimes just writing what you feel down so it’s out of your body and onto paper is a blessing all unto itself. Telling the sick at heart, the lonely, the depressed, and the tormented they may die before they get to talk to Theresa or find closure is cruel. I can’t pick up on what happened in your life that makes you so resentful and quick to pass judgement, because you are very closed off. Where does your anger come from? You are not who I scrolled through to help, but you could benefit from knowing that you’ll get the answer you want, but are too prideful to seek all on your own once you stop being angry and let yourself open up. You are not going to die before you get closure, but you will continue to suffer from acute anxiety and depression until you open yourself up and stop tormenting yourself over things you can’t control.
Find peace.
I miss my mom
Hello Theresa I know everyday you are swamped. Please help me I live in Llodminster, Alberta Canada. I am asking my loved ones to channel you to reach out to me. Right now my world is gray. Please Please contact me
Theresa is amazing, and I am on her list. As I’ve read through these posts, I’ve gotten my own impressions. We all are anxious. We’ve all lost loved ones. We all want answers. We should all also remember she’s a mom, a wife, now a TV personality, and she is contacted by spirits ALL THE TIME. Would I like closure NOW on my plethora of dearly departed? Absolutely. I almost got it this summer when I broke my back and neck and walked among the dead for a while.
I will have a reading with her. In the meantime, I’m drawing great personal comfort from just WATCHING her do what she does. Listen to what she tells other people. She’s proving there’s an afterlife, and that those in the afterlife, even young Steven (6), are with us, loving us, watching us, hearing us, and giving us signs all the time.
By all means, seek comfort in Theresa. I will be. In the meantime, take solace in the message she’s delivering to all of us on Long Island Medium. We’re not alone, and those on the other side almost always want us to find peace. Look for it, listen for it, feel it. I do.
Keep inspiring, Theresa, and take time for your family. You already know what they’ll be asking themselves when it’s time for you to move on to the next world. Love yourself and your family first. The rest of us will wait.

Theresa is a medium. She communicates with spirits. There is a distinct difference between a medium and a psychic, just as there is an empath and a psychic. I’m an empath, and that’s hard enough. I can’t predict the future with my 6th sense; Do we know Theresa can with hers? Breathing room and BREATHING is a good thing, everyone. Live life the way those who have passed can’t and would want you to. That’s their first gift to you.
I have a loved one who promised they would contact me if they passed. I need to know if they are okay. I cried for 2 years with this passing and need closure. I didn’t believe until I have watched your show. Please help me with my endless dreams and thinking of this person every day.
Hi Theresa, my name is Hayley and I am fourteen years old, and I would love to be able to meet you for a consultation. After watching your show, I knew meeting you wasn’t an option. So I would love to contact you, to set up a consultation. As I currently know, your waiting list is up to a year and a half from right now. Like I’ve previously said, I am only fourteen. This for me would mean the world. My mom’s step dad passed away when I was about two.So I never knew him or got to see how much he loved me. And family is the world to me. So getting to see you or contact you would be amazing to fill my gap.
Thank you,
Hayley
Theresa I think you fantastic! I know I’m in a long line, but I really need help,I had surgery 5 years ago and I’ve been very sick since. i’ve been to manydifferent kinds of Drs and had many many tests nothing is ever found. Nobody knows what is wrong and I suspect some drs don’t take me seriously. Every year I feel worst then the year before, getting more tired and weaker, at this rate I’m not sure where I’ll be or if I’ll even be here in another year. I don’t know where to turn anymore. I’m not looking for a diagnosis just a direction to go in. Can you help me? Please?
I lost my mother this past June 2011. My father passed 40 years ago on Jan 31, 1972, My daughter has a unique relationship with my father based on my limited memories. She misses my mother. We believe a male and female cardinal are them watching over us because when my mother passed there was a male cardinal looking in the window as we all sat with her during her final breaths. My daughter has melt downs missing them both and watches the show. She wanted me to contact in hopes she would be able to hear what her grandmother and grandfather are feeling/thinking about her. We miss them a lot. Will be emailing for an appointment, two years is a long time for a 10 year old.
I have watched your show many times. I recently lost my dad and we never did find out how he died. I would really like to find out what happened
I would love for you to contact me. I don’t know how much information you need to do a reading but I know that you usually just know the client’s name. So maybe you will know who and what I would like to discuss with you. God bless you and your gift.
Teresa
Theresa two nights ago I was watching your show and was listening very closely to a reading you were giving. When you were done that reading you went to a store and the number on that building was 1927. The whole time I was watching I was wishing for my mother to give me a sign that she was ok. Well when I saw that number come up I think that was my sign since that is the year she was born. Thank you and wish I could set up a reading
p.s. My sister and her husband lived in Deer Park Long Island until just a few years ago.
I am wondering if you could make contact with my granparents who were taken from my mom by rhe Nazis in 1944, and killed. Is this possible?
