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 am 25 years old. My younger cousin was shot in the back of the head over a girl and killed. I have had weird noises around my house at night. And I know it’s Ethan. He was only 20 years old. Never in trouble and was a hard worker and a great kid. I miss him so much. He was killed by my friends younger brother who shot and killed himself minutes after. I know he is in heaven but I need some closure and to know that he is happy and got his dream of milking cows. I’m sure that sounds so redneck or low class compared to where you are from but he wanted to supply you with milk for your cereal 🙂 I just hope this gets through to you. I miss him.

I would like very for my very sad friend that has alway been there for everybody to pls have the opportunity to have a session with you. She lost a very dear man about 20 yrs ago and I know not one day passes that she doesn’t think about him. It is a dream of hers to have a session with you. There are a lot of wonderfully caring people out there and she is one of them , the countless wonderfull things she does everyday for her family , random people and her students make her a person worth meeting . Pls consider this and pls find some time for my best friend that needs and deserve the price of mind I believe you can give her.

Hi Theresa, I watch your show I try to watch as often as possible. I would love to set up a private meeting for my daughter and I. My husband passed away last year 9/2/2012. I just want to make sure he is allright he died from COPD. My daughter and I miss him so much. Please contact us or send a follow up Diane Goldsmith from Phildelphia,PA
Just lost my mother whom I was very close with and it’s very hard to deal with the fact that I can’t see her or hear or!! It’s too final. How does one connect with the deceased?
Lorenzo was my brother that passed. thought this name would get your attention… your husband and sons name….I love your show and truly am a huge fan.. tried to get through on Sunday night on your live episode but could not… I would love to have a reading. I would take any date and would fly from Canada to see you…I hope that you enjoy your next few months touring…. and would love to hear from you.
Hi Theresa, I would love to know how my husband who passed away in Feb. 2013 and my daughter who passed away July 2013 are. I cannot get over their loss and need some closure. Please help me to deal with this.
My heart is broken that I lost them both so close together. I cannot stay in my home this is the worst thing I have ever had to deal with, Please I need some advise. Thank you so very much.
Hi Teresa. I had a baby die 10 hrs after delivery I never got to hold her or see her. I would like a reading to let her know how much I love her. And I’m so sorry for not being with her when she passed. It’s been 27 yrs and this still bothers me south that my lil girl was never held by me & died all alone in a different hospital than what she was born. Her 28th b- day is coming up Nov 26th I would love a reading that day because it is also the day she died. Sincerely grieving Mom. Cheryl Wade
Hola Teresa, Mi papa fallecio el 30 de Diciembre del 2012, estuve distanciada de el muchisimo tiempo, antes de su muerte, por problemas personales, a raiz de eso me siento culpable, de no haberme acercado a el antes, por lo que al morir, quede con un gran vacio emocional y sintiéndome culpable por no haberlo buscado y acercarme,
quiero saber si el me queria y si me perdono antes de morir. gracias
On Nov. 21, 2006 my brother passed and then on Sunday, November 26, 2006 my sister passed – both had cancer – I love and miss them both and think of them –
Tereasa my grandfather passed in January of 2013 and my grandmother feels as if he is still around and i feel as if theres something he wants to tell me but im not sure what it is i feel like he cant cross over untill he tells us what he needs to say. Also he never cried as a grown man and the night he knew it was his time he was crying and trying to tell me something but i didnt know it was his time to go he died at home in his bed and the next morning my mother and i found him and then a tear fell from his eye but he had already passed and ive tried everything and my friend told me to try to contact you she watches your show she has a lot of trust invested in you so i figured i would give it a try
Hi Theresa, I saw you for the first time on the 6th month anniversary of my husbands death. He’s been gone 6 months 5 days, today. He died suddenly leaving four children and 8 grandchildren and myself. I have been in shock since day 1. I really believed that NOBODY could help me thru this, and then I saw you on TV. I feel like I can’t go on without him, and I don’t want to. I hope we can meet someday. My heart is sooo broken. I have 8 grandchildren, 7 of them girls, and I need to be more supportive to my children. I would appreciate your help.
Hi Theresa, My name is Mildred and I hope that you will allow me to have a personal reading with you. Please, it so very important to me. Please! I need closure. Mildred
