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.”

Dear Theresa,
Hi….. I know your a busy lady, helping others! God bless you for that, each & everyday of your life! I watch your show all the time! I fell in love with it! Now I can’t get enough, just knowing the emotional changes brought to families is incredible!
In the the year 2014 we lost an incredible women, my auntie! My mothers sister & best friend/cousin/sisters mother! I feel if they recieved a message from my auntie, pointing fingers & blame would be diminished! Our entire family could be at peace knowing she is ok! IF there was ever a chance you could come to Moricetown BC, Canada…. A lot of family members & friends could recieve closure from loved ones!

I pray you read this. I have lost my whole family, slowly from age 23 to now 42. The last was my 7 year old son, Noah, in a fire 2 Christmas’ ago. I am slowly dying inside, and I have done all the therapy, done it all, and as an empath, I no longer leave my house. The onslaught of my own despair combined with the madness of the world and others pains, leave me drained. My health is very bad as well. My only remaining child is 18 and autistic, we lost his Dad when he was 9 to brain cancer. My 1st husband. My 2nd husband is the father of Noah, whom we lost. Its just the 3 of us against the world, and none of us are doing ok, to put it mildly. You might be the only chance for me, for us. I will pray my message catches your eye, I am in dire, dire need of our gift. I am frightened. Love and light… Victoria
I love your show and if you ever come to Kansas city Missouri I would love the chance to meet you I would love the chance to gift my daughter a chance of you doing a reading for her when she was 8 months pregnant with my oldest grandson she lost his father and I don’t think she has ever really delt with his passing I just wished you were here to help her to really let go and move on.
Hi there, Theresa, not to sure if i am even doing this correctly,knowing my luck,you probably won’t even ever read this,but like they say “gotta be in it to win it ” lol. I totally think you have a beautiful gift ,which you share with a good heart. Well sorry,just realised i haven’t introduced myself,i am Nicole,hi. Everyone experiances loss, i know in my life,i have already lost too many important loved ones,as we all have. But recently i feel like i not only lost ,my lifes love,my precious small man aka my dad,hero,buddy, but that my heart stopped with his and now all it does is continuously race like im fighting to breath. I dont need confirmation he is around me i 110% totally know that. I just need to have some help me who is amazing honest with the right heart to understand. I fight every day to keep going for him,but grief doesnt even begin to explain my dad being nowhere to be found . Long shot u even seeing this but im watching you now praying you will read this God bless ,waiting and praying you respond
I really need a reading from you for my husband and son. In 2008 we lost my stepson in a car accident, he was only 19yrs old. My husband and son are still stuck in the sadness of losing him. They need closure.My son has turned to drugs and alcohol to deal with his brothers death.He has put his life on hold. I would be so grateful to you if you can help my family in any way.Thank you and God Bless. Terrie
I wish that you could please do a reading for my sister and neice and nephew. My brother in law died at age 30. My neice has been on a self destruction course ever since he died, she was little. She believes hes tried to contact her, recently she got an add selling a necklace that had hers and her dads name on it and the mail was addressed to him at their new address. Their also was a picture taken when my sister turned 40 and his shadow was in the background. If you could do a reading for them I hope my neice could get some closure and turn her life around, she is alchol dependant, got 3 DUI and even went to jail and still drinks. Thanks for your consideration.
Dear theresa,
I wanted your help to find closure on a close family friend that passed back in 99 and wondering if you knew anything about my brother that my mom had to put up for adoption.
Hi Theresa,
On the morning of April 17, 2015 my nephew Terry went missing in the Thunder Bay , Ontario Canada area. To date we are still unable to locate him or his truck which he left with. He was very depressed and only had a small amount of gas in his truck. He left his apartment with no wallet (id, cred cards or money). We had the police force out looking by air and by land covering a very very large area. His mother desperately needs to have some kind of hope or closure. I am so hoping that you can help me with this. His name is Terry Vernon Glisinski-Brasseur. He is 42 years old.
Thank you so very much and look forward to hearing from you.
Susan Brasseur (aunt)
I have so many people in my life that have passed. I truly believe in Medium’s and it would be the biggest thrill in my life if Theresa could read me. It would confirm for me to answer so many questions that I have about the other side. I know Theresa is booked from now and forever but I thought maybe I might get lucky! I live in California so if there is ever a chance for Theresa to come to beautiful Cali please come see me.
