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. I love your show. Please can you help me . My grandma past away
Many years ago and I could say bye to her. I am mad at her of what she did
To my mom. Please I need to speak to you really urgent. Thanks for your love.
Hey Teressa,
my name is Deni and I am 18 years old. You probably will not believe me because I am sure you get made fun of a lot for what you do. But I also can see the dead… It scares me a lot because most of the time I know when something bad will happen. Instead of talking to the dead they tell me when people die and sometimes they hurt me. I know their names and some of them are sweet. I have talked to my grandma. I was hoping you could help me out with this. Because you figured out the secret to controlling this… I was hoping that you could give me advice on how. I am not sure how real you are because you are on tv. but my mother believes you. I know you are probably thinking I am crazy… but I honestly see them…
-hope to talk to you
Deni

Dear Theresa:
I live in Burlington Vermont and will be in the city from Sunday May 20th until Wed 23d. If there is a possibility that I could get an appointment with you I would be so grateful. Any day except Tuesday would be so amazing.
I know how booked up you must be, but I hope with all my heart that you will be able to see me.
Warmly,
Linda G.
I have prayed to meet someone like you for many years. What you do for people is awesome and truly a blessing. Thank you, you are an angel.
Hi my name is roxanna, i wanted to contact you becaue i was watching your show and i believe you have a message for me. if you can please email me at this email address.
I need so badly to make contact with my son, mother, father and step-mother. I have questions I want to ask my son, mother, father and step-mother. Please contact me I will do whatever it is you want or need me to do. Thank you for your time and efforts.
I would be very interested in a reading. Please contact me at this email. I enjoy your program.
Dearest Theresa,
I have watched almost all of your shows on TLC, and I would like you to know that I really believe that you are one of the lucky angels on earth that has that special gift. Sometimes it may not seem like it and I am greatful for your show. We lost our son Joey 4 years ago. And the first show of yours that I saw was the one with Stevie. It brought my heart joy to see that one of our children that was lost no matter the cause, was able to contact you to let his mom know that he was watching over her. You are an amazing woman for the gifts that you give everyday and your family is great to understand that you feel so strongly to give these gifts. I just wanted to thank you for giving the mom’s, dad’s, brother’s and sister’s the chance to know that our loved ones that were lost, are still looking over us even if we don’t have that special person to tell us by chance meetings. Thank you for being you. And please keep being you.
Sincerely,
Staci L. Olson Sidney, Montana
My child passed at age 14 in 1994. Four years ago she visited me in spirit(just felt her presence) and I heard her tell me telepathically something I needed to hear. The thing that troubled me is she sounded like she was in her late twenties. I would like conformation that that was or wasn’t her I heard, because of what it was that she told me.
Love your show and would like a reading, thank you.
i was wondering if u can do a reading on the phone or can a spirit get u to call some 1 i have been fighting lung cancer for 2years an i wonder if my grandmother or grandfather have came to u in spirit ?
I don’t have anyone to contact, I just wanted to say, you are seriously awesome! Love watching your show!

Dear Theresa,
my name is courtney and I am 18 years old. My mom is 50 years old and she lost her father when she was only 7 years old. She still grieves to this very day and I was wondering how much it an appointment with you would cost. I hate seeing my mom so upset when she thinks about my grandpa and I know her one wish would be to be able to talk to him again and make sure he is okay. We watch your show all the time and I’ve seen just how amazing you are. So like I said, I was just wondering how much an appointment with you would be. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, if you even are able to see this.
sincerely your fan,
-Courtney
