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, if there was ever a family who needs to hear from a lost loved one, it is the Derkosh family in Pittsburgh PA who recently lost their son in a tragic accident at our zoo. I sure you have heard the story and can imagine how dire their need to hear from their dear son must be. I am willing to pay your fee if you/they would want to get together. I do not know the family personally, but like all parents everywhere, I am devastated for them. The thought of the accident and their loss haunts me every day. If somehow you contacted them and they were open to a reading, I promise I will pay your fee. Thanks for sharing your gift and bringing so many people peace.
I love your show I watch it all the time, even the reruns. I myself was born in brooklyn, N.Y. and lived in Nassaua county, & Suffolk county in N.Y. for 25 yrs. before I moved to Louisiana. and I been here for about the past 27 yrs. My question is this: How much do you charge for a reading?
Hi Theresa,I love watching you show,It makes me smile.Your family is soo loving,and crazy,all at the same time, reminds me of mine!I so relate to all your phobia’s,Ive been that way since I was a child.My Grandmother was killed in a car wreck when i was 15 .That sent me in to full blown panic attacks,i did nt drive till I was 24.I do belive that you are real,I have never emailed a medium before or anyone from anyshow before.We have all lost loved ones..I have lost many,and I know they are with me..I think thats why, watching you give people message’s from there loved one’s,gives my comfort,that what I feel is real.Thank you for shearing your gift!Sincerly kimberlee Kelley…SC

Dear Theresa
Five years ago I lost my brother who was my best friend in the world. I want to know that he is safe and happy and not alone. I would also like to know if he knows how much I miss him. I think about him everyday.
If he ever happens to visit you, please give him my love.

Theresa, I love your show! I think you’re awesome! If If I have a departed loved one that has come to you in spirit with a message, please tell me. I would like to know if they are at rest. I have been just dying to know about a particular loved one that I was closest to and sometimes wonder how someone so close could not make contact without a psychic. Whether you contact me or not, please tell them I love them and miss them. Thank you. Lisa
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy and other nasty weather conditions, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and the entire eastern seaboard. I think the people of this region are very resilient. It might seem tough now, however I believe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Stay strong.
By the way, I always look forward to watching your show every Sunday. You bring a sense of comfort to people who are hurting. Congratulations on a job well done.

Hi Theresa. My name is Shamika I’m 22 years old. And I don’t even know if your reading this. My grandmother passed this February. And it was hard on my family. She was such a wonderful woman. But it was hardest on my mother. I honestly thought when my grandmother passed I was going to lose my mother as well. I think, I know she needs a sign a message something. To let my mother know she’s ok, that she can go on with her life…and be happy. I love my mother more then anything in the world. She’s my best friend and I just want her to be happy. If you could help me with this. You would truly and honestly be our angel. Thank you for your time. Shamika
