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 Theresa My Dad died May 7,1985 and I never got to say goodbye. Daddy and I were very close. On the day he died I had a strong feeling that something was wrong. An old boyfriend have come to town and wanted to take me out for supper and drinks. I told him that I had to go so my Dad because I felt that something was wrong. He said that we should just go out and that I could go see him the next day. I gave in and we went out. My Dad had died that afternoon at 5pm. I didn’t find out until 2 o’clock the next morning. I didn’t get to say goodbye to Dad and I keep thinking that I might have been able to help him if I would have only stopped by and hadn’t gone out. I keep plaining myself that it was my fault that Daddy is gone. I would like a private reading so I can talk to him and have peace of mind. I live in Milbridge,Maine.

Hi theresa, my name is Miguel lots of years ago I lost my uncle Roberto reyes over 15 years ago & still till this date his murder was never del with nothing done, what would like to know if he might no who killed him, as well his well being.we miss him dearly. My # 1347-335-9434
If you are ever in New Hampshire, I’d like to know. I hope you and your family are all doing well!
The worst pain I ever experienced was when my Mom died; I miss her so much & think of her every day; I never thought anything could be worse; and then my sister died & that too was so painful; and now, a few months ago my son died unexpectedly; there are no words to express the lonliness, sorrow, and pain. I only wish there was a way to know that they are OK. I wish I could put my arms around them just one more time even though I know that’s not possible. I enjoy watching you help people, and it makes me feel that perhaps my loved ones are OK too. I hope so; If you’re scheduled ever puts you in Reno Nv, I will be there to see you. God Bless, Barbara Hutsey May 15,2014

Theresa,
I would like to set up an appointment with you for a private reading whenever I can get on your calendar. My family and I live in Jacksonville, Fl and will travel to your home for the reading. We lost my sister’s son on Halloween 2013 and I know that if my sister could talk with you it would give her the peace she is so in need of. I have your PO Box and will send you a letter to request the appointment.
Thank you for all you do to help all of us that have lost a loved one!!!!

Theresa,
I love you and your show.
Not asking for myself. I speak with my dearly departed ones daily. But in working on genealogy, I’ve met a distant cousin in PA online. Her son committed suicide after his tour of duty in the service. Her only son. She’s having a hard time. Can you help her?
I’d appreciate it greatly.

Hi Theresa,
I watch you every week and I admire the gift that you have bringing some closure and smiles on your clients. I would love to have a private meeting with you because it has been many years since my father died and I still fill uneasy about it. However I feel my sister needs it more than me.
She lost her son and she could really listen to you now.
Keep up the great work . I also was sorry about Petie. I know he is sound you always. Mary Ann
