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’m hoping you can finally be the one to help me. It has been 23 years that I have carried around this guilt and I need to know if my mom forgives me. You see my mom had a heartache while we were outside, I won’t go in to the whole thing that went on. Just that I tried to do CPR on her and it was not successful. I feel so guilty to this day that I let her down because there was so many people that loved her and missed her. On that day I begged God to take me (she was still on life support) and let her live. I just want to know like I said she does not blame me for her death.

You are amazing:)
I watch your show all the time and I love it. Here is my info:
I am 63 female and withing the last 2 years I lost my 54 yr. old brother suddenly. He was not sick but suddenly he had Lung disease and was diagnosed and died within 19 day. He passed the day after my birthday. He was the last of my family. I had lost a close aunt a week before. I miss him so much. I have 2 nieces but do not see them much because they now live with their mother and we are not close. I wonder if my brother suffered. I was with him when he passed but he was out of his head. So I am pretty much on my own. I have friends but it is not the same. I try to think that he is with my parents. What do you think.
Thank you for listening.

I watch Theresa as she provides peace and comfort to those who have experienced the loss of a family member. Theresa, you are truly blessed. I am 65 and have been a widow for 36 years. Watching your show makes me realize my husband has been walking with me all these years.Thank you!
theresa please help me i have lost two special people and i cant find myself anymore, i believe in you
she is as phony as a sixdollar bill and them fake nails she wears
I watch the show all the time and I am a believer. I am 26 years old and I have been going through a hard time, because I was incarcerated a little over a year ago, when I gave birth to my second child(a health 7lb. 9oz., little girl)on September 19, 2012. Due to being incarcerated, I had to let my daughter’s aunt take care of her until I got released. Unfortunately, she had to go and live in Oklahoma. With me being incarcerated in Maryland and my daughter living in Oklahoma, she was not able to visit me. I got to spend 2days with her in the hospital before I had to go back to the jail, and I got to have an hour visit with her over a t.v. monitor before she went halfway across the country. On October 21, 2012, exactly 1 month and 3 days later, I got a phone call at the jail saying the my baby was dead. I don’t know exactly how to get past this. I cry everyday and I blame myself, because I feel that if I wouldn’t of been in jail she would still be alive. I still do not have a death certificate or an autopsy report for her. The girl that had her has not spoken to me since we buried her, and that makes flags go up to me, like she is hiding something. I am scared to get an autopsy report, because I don’t want to find out that something was done to my baby that caused her death. Theresa, I am asking you if you could please reach out to my baby (Lilian Dream), and find out what happened to her and ask her to be with me and watch over her sister and I, and let her know I’m sorry, I should of been there, but I love her and miss her so much! I just want to know what happen so I can have some kind of peace. Thank you, please feel free to contact me by email

Hi theresa…
I’m a mother of 4 living in south africa. I saw yr show on TLC and knew you could help me. I have a big problem here 3 of my kids have been passing out as if their epileptic but I know its not. This has even made me change the place I loved living in I feel like I have a black cloud over my family please help…
I am interested in a meeting 1 on 1 or combined with Theresa…have lost both my parents within 2 years I have been having many instances that i believe might be them….would like to have valadation.
Hi Theresa….I love your show. I would love to have a reading. I’ve lost loved ones and find it so hard to go on. My heart is so broken, I cry every day. I live in Ca. and there is no way I could afford to fly you out, I don’t think I could even afford the price of a reading, but need help so bad. Do you ever do readings over the phone? And there is no way I could handle being on TV.
Hi Theresa, My husband and I both watch your show. We love your show, and your beautiful special gift. We both have lost our parents, my mom recently, and also other family members in our lives. We would love to meet with you, so we could hear from those family members. We know your a busy lady, but when do you think you would come to Northern California to visit and do a group session, or visit here in CA? Of course, we would love to meet with you or be their for a session, if you come to N. CA, near Sacramento. Marilyn of CA
