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.”

Hello Theresa
I would like to know if you will come to South Africa as I need someone like you to have closure
Thank you

I would love to set up a appointment with you. Please let me know.
Hello Theresa, thanks for all the messages you give and for helping so many people. I really admire you. I wish I could help others the way you do…well actually I need help. I lost my father 2 years ago but to my surprise I feel closer to him now than ever before as I can talk to him, sometimes it feels like he is not dead at all. I beleive he wants me to give a particular message to my mum which will help her heal from his loss. He needs her to forgive him for the way he died. Since his death was an accident does this make sense? I am afraid to give this message to my mum as I beleive it might confuse her. Please can you send me an email answering my question, I seriously need help.
Theresa, God Bless You for all that you do!! There are no words to express how much you mean to all of us….we all love you!! : ) Thanks for all you do!!
My beloved Mom passed 4 years ago from emphasima…there’s not a day that goes by that i don’t think of her with love,or miss her terribly. I feel her with me in my heart always ,but I wish I could tell her how much i love her & how much i struggle every day for the past 4 years. It’s hard…she is my very Best Friend. How do you say that to someone you love SO deeply? I’m nearly 48 now….I was almost 44 when she passed, I feel like I’m ten.
i got 6 loved one dat die i wood love to talk whit you .. plz
Theresa my daughter and I are great fans of yours, but you threw us off when you told a lady her daughter was in heaven after the girl had killed her self.Church and bible said we will go to hell for killing our self so why you say she was in heaven.Also my daughter hear a lot of noise where ever she move, and see a lot of dark shadows can you tell me what this might be.
Hi Theresa!
My names Jessica and my family and I are huge fans of yours. My dad died unexspectivaly on Tuesday. I’m 13 years old and I can’t stand the thought of not having my dad with me and not seeing me grow up. The worse part of this whole thing is that I didn’t get to say good bye or tell him how much I loved him. Well I believe strongly in what you do and think your blessed with this gift. I really hope you read this and contact me back because I really want to know if my dad is okay and make sure he knows how much I love him and how sad I am he’s gone. My dad was my life and he died so young. I hope you see this. Thank you so much
-Jessica
RIP Joe
I’m still not converted period..
dear Theresa,
I have been following your show and am just in awe at your ability to talk to loved one who have passed. There are two people who are very very dear to me that I want contact with them through you and tell them that I am very sorry and sad that I never said sorry to them and ask for forgiveness when they were alive. Please contact them and let me know that they are at peace and have forgiven me for hurting them. This guilt haunts me all through my waking hours as there is always something that will remind me of them and make me feel so much sadness and pain that I caused two people who I loved intensely and who loved me the same way or even more.
let me know how I can contact you over the phone may be as I do live in Canada.
I know you are the only person I have seen blessed with this wonderful ability.
Praying that I will hear from you soon and take this heavy burden of guilt away.
Sincerely
Christine
Do you ever sense that someone is in Hell? I’m sorry to ask this, but it’s important that I know.
Thank you
I have to admit that when I began watching your show, I was a skeptic.
I was raised to believe in Heaven and Hell. Do you ever talk to someone who said that they were in Hell?
I know that you’re busy, but if you could answer this I would appreciate it.
Thanks
