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.”

I know you receive tons of requests to do a reading except I hope this one stands out to possibly help my sister-in-law who just lost her husband, my brother on September 15, 2012. He was in Hospice care for rare disease called MSA. Since his passing, she has been very depressed, seeing a therapist and on medication. She tells me she does not want to be like this although she has stood by his side 24/7, caring for him at home until the minutes of his death. I try and talk to her saying he is not here in flesh but always here in spirit. But to no avail. She will laugh only reminicing the good times of her 30 years of marriage and then instantly cries because of missing him. I can only think of you, Theresa, to help hoping to comfort her knowing he is still around. My brother’s name is Robert Joseph Lock. Please help my sis-in-law Sindy, as she is all I have left of my family. Mother, father passed as well.
Dear Theresa
I love to hear from my mother she passed away march 2 2012 and my dad passed march 3 2008. My mother was in the hospital 12 before she passed. she had 17 strokes and the said she would be a vegetable if she lived I miss her sweet smile and hope she is at peace
I haven’t been able to cry and grieve for her because she made me promise that when she passed that I would not cry for her because she said she would be in a better place. so if I cry I feel that I would be breaking my promise to her. but I am so depressed and lay around just watching tv and I have no desire to do things anymore. I feel like I am just waiting on death myself. I just need to know if she is at peace
would you just write me an e-mail and let me know. that is if my mother comes to you. I told her out loud to come to you and tell you. My mother always called me something special and if she comes to you you will know what that was. so just e-mail me and tell me what that was and then I will know she is ok
thank you sandra

Hi Theresa I have watched you on several shows but I have always been skeptical about thing like this but the more I see and think about it I believe. I lost my mother over 30 years ago and I am still not over it. I self medicate myself sometimes at night to get a good night sleep. I always wondered if there was a sign or something I could have done to save her life. If there is any way you can help me to have a peace of mine please help.
Theresa, I saw you on the Dr. Zo show, I allway wanted to seek out a medium and asked questions but wasnt sure if they are for real. anyway I have losted my mother, grandmother, father, and middle brother, and last of all my baby brother. I wasn’t able to say goodby, but was with him until the end of his life, I was having dreams but not sure what they meant or not, or me being just over thinking, problemly just over thinking, hey thanks just for letting me think I’am contacting you..
I come from a large Italian family on my father’s side. Many deaths that were tragic, my uncle died at 27 by a drunk driver. Aunt died at 45 . Another two uncles were killed when they were run off the road age 42 and 50. My brother died at 22 of a cerebral annurizm. Lost a three year old nephew to drowning. Lost a cousin falling from a tree at age 56. But lost both mother and father. Can not stop the depression from loosing my dad. My aunt his sister died 8 months after him. My dad died three yrs ago. My life fell apart and I want to see him so bad. He came to me after he died and I know he was telling me my aunt was going to die. It was so real. Medium’s tell me I can see. When I wATCH YOUR SHOW i CRY sometimes I have to turn it off. My dad always said Liz when I die you better not cry just take care of your family. I have three children (31, 29 and 22) all at home and they are what is keeping me going . I am waiting for the day if you are ever in Jersey to be put in your presence.Besides my children my dad was my life and I can’t move on. Well, I think u are adorable and love the relationship u have with your husband. Your kids are good kids I can tell you set a good foundation for them as I did mine. You are blessed and I only pray to meet u someday.

like you said before when do you have time for the computer. I just want to ask why I can not find myself again since I lost my brother. I’m angry with the world. If its meant for you to read this this will be the time you do answer but if not i understand clearly
Theresa, I know this may sound funny, but I am an only child, I lost my father 19yrs ago 8-10-93 and my mother 16 yrs ago this coming 12-30-96, you know when you lose your one and only parents- you are an orphan then.I need so much to know that they are both ok and watching over me, If i could sit and explain my life to you, you would tell me to start my own soap opera,I would love to hear from them before i go.I have been living with LUPUS and Rhemitoid since I was 16 yrs and now I will be 61 in Dec.God has been good to me, he gave me to the most wonderful parents a child could ask for. I watch you every time your on and when Larry cried when you left your daughter at college, that was so beautiful.
I think you are an awesome person and that you have such a great and wonderful talent. God has given you this and your blessed with this incredible insite to people’s very personal and vulnerable pieces of information. I lost two loved ones within six weeks of each other and that last one I was very close to and feel very guilty about this and would like some closure on this amongst some other issues. I miss this person terribly as I would talk to them almost daily. I visited this person daily when they were in the hospital towards the end and I just feel as if they were alone and can’t shake that feeling. I just would like some help in this area and getting this closure. Thank you in this. I appreciate you so much and hope you will read this.
WOW ! What a amazing gift you have. I see all your shows.. what a amazing family you have.. you can see the support and love between all of you guys.
Hello desperately need to hear from my father so I can feel at peace that is at peace.
