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 a soldier who just came home and I found my wife watching your tv show. She said I should talk to you about some of the losses I encountered over there and I would really like to see if you can resolve some of my questions for me. I would like to know if you can give some answers. Thanks a bunch, hope to hear from ya.
Watch you all the time with my wife up here in nthe great north (canada). My wife adores you and would love to arange to meet you. Anytime would be possable for us. Keep up the amazing work you have changed my wifes attitude since she lost her mom 5 years ago. All the best and thanks in advance
Would like to set up a reading with u when you have the time.I love your show keep up the good work.
Gracie Duffin…. If you are hurting that bad you need to talk to your mom about it. I am sure she would be even more hurt to lose you too. Go to your school counselor or even a friend. I was your age when my sister died and trust me it gets easier. I am 32 now and although i still miss her the pain is much easier to handle. Taking your life would only make more people hurt as bad as you are now.
My grandpa died when I was 5 and I whanr to make sure he is with me and I know he is still watching over my brother but I don’t know about me and I am only 10 so I REALY need to talk to you

Hi Theresa
A former NY’er, I love watching you!! It brings me back to happier times, when my family was intact, and loving each other. Over the years, I have lost so many family members. The worst is losing my mother. My sisters and I just cannot seem to get past that, although it’s been 2 1/2 years. It feels like yesterday, and everyday I wonder what I didn’t catch, how I let her down. If there’s a way to communicate with her, my sisters and I would be forever in your debt, and maybe, at peace.
God bless you for what you do.

Theresa,
You are such a kind and caring person. I beg you to consider what God has to say about contacting spirits. I am sure you have read Deuteronomy 18:10
The spirits you speak to are impersonating the dead people and I pray you consider how this deception is a distraction from the teachings of Christ.
Mediums were never condoned in the bible; they were instead exorcised of their spirits as a kindness to the medium.
You said that you do not know where this ability comes from. It is certainly not from God and that leaves only demonic influences as the source. Please pray to the one true God and seek His teachings in the bible.
I know it is neat and fun to amaze people with your abilities. Please consider why that is… it is a stroke to the ego and a sad misguided thing that you are doing.
I am not a hater, I have a heavy heart for all the people who turn away from the teachings of Christ.
Know there is not grey area. You are either seeking God or you are following Satan.
Id like to make an appointment for a reading from Mrs. Caputo. Thank you in advance if someone gets back to me.
I can drive to Long Island. I look forward to hearing from you.

Love your show tho its hard to watch through tears I tune in every chance I get. I am originally from Patchogue and I now in New Mexico. I would love to have a meeting with you sometime towards the end of the year as I will be visiting my mother who is still there. I have suffered a great deal since my husbands passing 10 yrs ago. My children did not get a chance to get to know him. We would love to know what happened. and may I say Bless you for all the people you have helped and will help in the future.
Thank you.

Can I possibly have a meeting with you, I don’t care how long it takes because I believe it will help me. Please contact me. Thank you, Loisann
