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.”

Theresa, you are AWESOME. I’ve wondered how in heaven it may be possible to get a reading, notwithstanding, it is my sister who I would love to have a reading. She has lost 2 of her 4 children, both as young adults. One of the possiblities is that we (my sister & I) plan on vacationing in Long Island. If you have an idea, OMG it would be great.
My daughter has had contact w past family when she was young and always has orbs around her in pictures. I told her she has a gift and has spoken w her grandmother in her dreams. She has lots of anxiety and never sleeps now. She is making herself to stressed and has anxiety attacks now and causes asthma attacks. I know she had a spirit in her room when I slept over. I was awake at 3 in the am and I had a finger snap in my ear. My daughter was on the opposite side of me. I was not scared. Can you help her?

I would like to learn more about having a reading done. I don’t live in the same area. Are they always in person or how would that work being from another state? I love watching the show.
Hi Teresa,
I am a 30 yr old female from long island who would love to be able to contact a few people who have died to be able to have some closure. My mother committed suicide when I was twelve and I need answers. After she committed suicice I went to live with my grandparents and aunt. A few years later my aunt also committed suicide. We had a turbulant relationship and would love to be able to contact her for closure and answers as well. My grandma also went a few years later and recently I lost my boyfrend of thirteen years. There was alot going on with him towards the end and I fear he hates me and I need to speak to him because this guilt I feel is killing me inside. Please contact me so I can finally get some peace!!!!
Hi Theresa, my name is Torrey McCann, I am 18 years old and live in BOYNTON beach Florida. My mom passed away when I was 9 years old leaving behind my two brothers and I. Two years after my mother passed I lost my grandmother and then my father moved away leaving my brothers and I with my 80 year old grandpa. I am going through a very hard time in my life and it would mean the world to me if I could some how get in contact with her! Please if there is anyway I could get in contact with you
I watch your show every week and have always been interested in the afterlife and the readings of mediums. I feel you are very sincere and are doing a beautiful job of presenting your work and also in
how you rejuvenate your own senses and the rituals that you use to accomplish the rejuvenation. Keep up the excellent work you are doing.
Theresa I love your show. I am a native Long Islander and I was wondering how much you charge to do a reading for a family down in North Carolina. We are all here now and would love to hear from all the people we lost in our lives. Please let me know.
