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,
I just watched your show for the first time tonight…I think your gift is truly amazing!
I have had much pain in my life, and would somehow like to be at peace and move on, yet I’m unsure how to do that. Somehow I feel like I am supposed to contact you. I am currently @ a women’s shelter in VT after my divorce, and somehow last Thursday after nine years of marriage, finally found the courage to leave. (I have tried MANY times before, but for some reason I found the strength & courage to finally do so….I believe I am supposed to meet you or talk with you. Normally my husband would not have let me watch the show, and if I weren’t here, I never would have seen it. So, I came in and got on the computer and immediatley found your contact info.
I will be emailing you tonight or tommorrow.
Thank you for sharing your extraordinary gift with the world…I truly BELIEVE!!
ALWAYS a believer,
Sheri

I’m a 75 yr,old handicapped woman. I grew up abused by both parents, but through therapy have managed to have a life. Because I am in a wheelchair and live in NJ I cannot come to you for a reading, but would be grateful if you could do a reading by phone. I just want to know if anyone, ever, really loved me, or if anyone currently loves me. I don’t know if I have 2 years to wait for your waiting list since my health is precarious. Please let me know if you can help me live whatever life I have left in peace. Thank you
hi i love your show my mom pass away last year my dad is pass away i had to put my dog to sleep a month ago my exboy friend pass away are they around me are they ok? love you therese donna
I guess you could call me a sceptic as a christian I was told that this wasn’t possible. But I am such a tortured soul. Since I was young I lost both of my parents. then my yougest son. And last year my nephew and a few months later my youngest sister. I haven’t dealt with this very well at all. I don’t have any money I just wish I could have some peace this is too much it consumes my dreams and my life.
You are a blessing, I would really love to know if two people, I have lost are with me, my father, I lost in 1995, and the love of my life, he passed in 2009, on Halloween, I cry everyday for the both of them. Thank you so much.:-) 🙂
I had Cancer of the Gallbladder and now I am in remission. Will I be able to live a long life? I’ve been told that I would live a long life. Is my Dad helping me or is someone else helping me?
Hi Theresa. My name is Olivia. I am 13 years old and my Grammy Patty died in 2010 of a heartattack. Since she died suddenly and very unexpectedly, I feel terrible about her death. She had died 5 days before my 12th birthday and I felt like I couldn’t have a good time on that day. About a week before her passing, she called and asked me what I wanted for my birthday and about our sport schedules. Please contact me and let me know if you can read me. Thank you.
