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 – I absolutely love your program and have watched EVERY episode – you are helping so many people with all of their pain – God bless you for doing this work – if I can help in any way, I will be glad to do so – Colleen
I have been watching your show and I ‘m not sure what to think, My father past away un suddenly, him and I did not have a good relationship. Here is a lot of water under the bridge I believed he did love me but I’m worried about my feelings and all the trouble I caused him. I just never felt I was goodunough ever for him I was a pregnant teenager. He said I would wind up getting pregnant. I’m 55 years old and my dad died 3 years ago.My thoughts are still upsetting to me and have been for years.I wonder what he is still feeling about there has been bad blood for years and I would like to put this at rest Candy Hall
I have no idea you will see this so I really do not know why I am bothering. I need to know if my Daddy hears me. If he has forgiven me. Other things too. Oh well, so is my life one big question of wondering!
I will be shocked if, I get a response. Peace.
I lost my Dad to suicide. I understand why. I know he is free. Knowing this, I don’t get it. I had a very different influence. I’m talking about hair pinned up, speaking in tounges, I think. I must say the holy spirit is SO present. I guess I would like a simple involvement. I get it. I’m hoping you could connect. If your able, give me a shout out!
My disabled sister lives with me now and we both have suffered so much abuse as children that our Grandmother never knew about and now that we are together we both feel like our grandmother is trying to talk to us but we are at a loss. We sure hope someday we get to meet you and hope she comes over.
Love to you, Mike
Hi Theresa, I began watching your show a few weeks after my dad passed away in February of last year.(My cousin made me aware of you and your amazing gift). I was totally heartbroken and I still am. However, in your first reading of that evening, I felt that you were speaking directly to me; you answered my primary question: “Why was I 1,700 miles away in the Gulf of Mexico when he passed and the only one of his daughters not at his side to say goodbye? Why didn’t he tell me?” I listened as you read a teenage girl who was feeling as I was about her grandmother’s passing. You told her that her grandmother loved her the most, and she could not have let go if she were there and she really needed to go. I know that my dad did as well. Thank you so much for helping me through her! God bless you. I hope I’ll someday have the opportunity to have a private reading with you. There is so much that was left unsaid…

Dear Theresa,
I have been carrying this guilt of a passing Of my Dearest Friend for 41 yrs. This person has never left my mind and there is not a day that I don’t think of this person, I visit the grave when ever possible. I have tried so hard to let go of the guilt. Can you help in anyway. There is not a week that goes by when I watch your show that you do not bring a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with the public and bringing comfort to so many. Chet
