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.”

ps ….. too funny, your show just came on at my house, the part where you sat down with your family and said… ‘lets get this show on the road’…..that is what my daughter said in a reading!!!
Hello Theresa…
My daughter died suddenly when she was 23. I’m not sure I will ever really understand why she had to go so young, but I got some peace from a reading and knowing she didn’t suffer, in fact my mom came and met her and they actually watched the tragedy that happened to her physical body. I still miss her everyday, but I know she is near by, and watches over us.
Thanks for what you do, the gift you have touches so many lives. You and your family are so beautiful. God bless you!
I lost my father when i was in seventh grade, now im a sophmore in highschool and each day i wake up wondering why my dad called my two sisters and told them how proud he was of them and said good bye to them but not me. I wonder each day if it was my fault hes gone now and how could i have prevented his death. After watching your show i was touched by what you do and i realised i have no other way of dealing with my dads death unless i hear from him that hes okay now and if it was my fault or not. please help me each day the guilt gets worse and worse. Thank you for your time.

I have been looking for closure on my sister’s passing…she passed away in 1988 and I have been wanting to know if she is watching over my family. I would love to schedule an appointment with you.Thank You!!
Hello Theresa,
I believe you have an amazing gift to help people resolve unanswered issues with loved ones that have passed away. My son was 18 when he died and I have not had any closure for 23 years now, I need to know what happened and if he is at peace, where, and when will I see him again. I would like to make an appointment to see you even if I have to wait .
HI Teresa
I lost my husband one year and a month. It has been hard loosing him and i always felt him near me and that he had something to tell.me. My granddaughter who is 2 1./2 years old has not sleep well and my daughter tells me that my granddaughter seem to be talking to someone, mostly she hasn’t slept in her room. Even though she was tiny she knows her grandfather when she looks at his picture and we actually don;’t tell her she just points and kisses the picture and tells us that;s my abuelito. I am hoping that he watches us especially my son who is having a hard time in finding his way in life. Can you know if we are going to be ok and that he is watching and helping us through this tough grieving process.
hi theresa i love what you do and believe in what you do. i am hoping to hear from you and get a reading to get some long time needed answers. god bless sharron
Theresa:
I need some closure so bad. My name is Karen Larson. My Father was an abusive alcoholic. He would beat up my 2 brothers and me when he had a six pack of courage. He was in the military his whole life. He was lost in the mountains in Korea before I was born. He led his platoon out of the mountains, suffered frost bite and almost lost his legs. My Mom gave birth to me a month early because of this. He came home and was King of Mardi Gras because of this. He became part of New Orleans history.
I really have no recollection of him until he became stationed in the US. We got transferred to Camp Lejeune when I was 8. My brothers and I are just three of eight children. It’s a very long story. I never thought my Father loved us. He drank and made our lives miserable. All eight of us became very productive individuals despite his abuse. It was very physical not sexual. I could go on and on. He always accused me of being a tramp. It started when I was 12. He always beat us with a belt or just was so verbally abusive..
Again, long story short I just want to know if he loved me. He died when I was 29 going through a nasty divorce I never did get to grieve for him. But I really did love my Dad. To this day I cannot have a committed relationship and have a very low self esteem.
Can you help me?
I lost both parents and just need to know that they are together and are at peace. Thank you so much for any help.
i really like your show i watch it all the time that it is on.I would like to now a couple of things but you are to far to go see.so i will always watch your program beause i really like your show
please help my sister died 2 years ago things did not get better with time i really feal my parents are dieing moreso my dad he is so hurt and we can not help him please email me
Hello Theresa,
I would love the chance to one day speak with you. I have many loved ones that have passed over the years. I feel something is around me at all times. I guess I just need peace of mind to know who it is and if they are trying to tell me something. I know that your waiting list is very long but I feel that I am willing to wait if it will finally answer some questions once and for all. I hope that you actually get these comments.
Thank you so much for what you do for people. You are truly a God sent!
