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,
Last summer I was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Its been a struggle and there were many other unrelated hardships for the past 10 months. During this time, and now, I got the feeling that someone (my mom, one of my grandparents, someone?) was trying to tell me something. I prayed for healing, and recently I found out I’m in remission. I’ve felt like someone was with me throughout, giving me encouragement. My family has not been there for me. They backed away from me. Maybe this was too much for them to handle? Complete strangers have crossed my path out of the blue, providing support, encouragement, and prayer. However, I still get the feeling that “someone” is trying to tell me something. Is it my mom? I pray to stay in remission, and maybe my mom is trying to let me know that she’s there for me, even though the rest of the family haven’t been? How do I get a reading from you? What is the process? A two-year wait probably won’t work for me, but if there’s a way to get a reading now, I’ll do whatever is necessary to get it, God willing.
Thank you! God Bless you!
I watched you for the first time. I was wondering how to get ahold of you ?
Something is wrong. I don’t know what it is but I see shadows and I hear people say things before they do. I saw my great grandpa at the end of my bed and almost screamed out loud. I actually bolted away from my door at two in the morning after I had already left the room and came back and there he was. No one believes me. I know there is something and I know I see and feel what I call shadows. Shadows are always around me, I see them out of the corner of my eye and they go away pretty fast. They are there I can feel them. Pretty sure whoever is reading this says blah blah blah I read this all the time and I don’t believe it. Well something is there wether I am heard or not. We’re confused/
Dear Theresa, I caught your show while i was feeling sorry for myself in, I think January of 2011. My daughter Alexandria ,(now 21, as yours will soon to be.) came into my room and asked how I was. I told her that I was watching this marathon of this amazing medium. Oh mom, are you all right? I thought at that momint that I need to see you. Our son, Josph passed in 2004. He was with us a short time. I need to know….third child, second marriage…why..if he is with everyone else that I/we have lost. I would sooo much love to know he is ok. I think you are ausome, and I aready told my husband we are on a road trip to come and see you.
Sincerly,
Carrie
Dear Theresa, first let me say that I enjoy watching your show so much.Its very emotional for me.What I want to ask you is I want to know if there is a possibility that before I was born or when I was born could I have a mark on me or curse or something?I mean it seems ALL my life I’ve had a black cloud over my head and something always holds me down no matter how good I am at something.Let me explain a little.My father always said I wasn’t his,and we were never close my mother never showed me affection even tho my brother is her best friend. We dont even hug or show affection.I feel as tho I’ve only had one person love me for me and that was my grandmother who has passed.I got married young and that ended in adultry and divorvce.I had one child and was never close to her due to certain circumstances.I have no prospect for any kind of love life or a man of my own.Mostly married men show interest in me which shows I can’t even have a man of my own.I’ve never known love in any way even tho I have treated the man in my life good. I do not allow people to hug or kiss me due to how my life has made me.I just feel like there’s something Im paying for that I don’t know about that happened when I was born.I’ve even had a friend ask me why do things always happen to you.That I must have a curse on me.In every aspect of my life things never go well.One time on facebook it said your phone has a name.I read other peoples nmae after they put in the formula so I put my info in.It came back “o”.So I did it again thinking it was a mistake…came back “o”again.I posted that and one of my fb friends tried it for me and it came back”o”.I just want to know could there be something on my soul to curse me?There’s so much more that I could tell you but this is long enough alreadyBut I just feel like there’s something to this and would like an answer.I would appreciate it if you could give me a kind of perspetive on this. Anyway Keep doing what you’re doing…I love watching you read people….Love ya…Tam
Tried the website mentioned above and it’s not up and running yet. Any other way to get in contact for a reading? Any information I could get would be truly appreciated. Love the show, you’re a down to earth person and deserve the gift you have received-thanks for sharing.
Dear Mrs Caputo, I would like to be put on the list to have a private reading. Thank you
Hi theresa I LOVE your show and would love to make and appt. you are AMAZING i would travel werever my please call i would LOVE to get in touch with my mom…I miss her soooo much.
I have been suffering from an undiagnosable autoimmune disease since my last
daughter was born. She is going to be 5 in June and our whole life has been on hold. We have been to specialist all over NYC and there is no clear answer. My husband is a NYC firefighter and I am a teacher, we have insurance but none of the specialists take any insurance. The financial and emotional strain is overwhelming on us all. I know that my grandmother and grandfather, who have passed, will have the answer.
I would love to set up an appointment.
IF YOU HAVE AN ILLNESS THAT IS UNDIAGNOSABLE THAT MEANS YOU HAVE A GIFT THAT NEED TO BE ACCEPTED. SIT IN THE DARK AND MEDITATE TRY TO TALK TO YOU LOVED ONES THAT HAS PAST RECENTLY, OR LONG TIME AGO DOESN’T MATTER. WHAT EVER YOU GET THINK OF IT, IT’S TRUE. MIGHT SEEM LIKE YOUR THOUGHT AND YOUR TALKING TO YOURSELF. BUT ITS NOT, BELIEVE IN YOUR INNER INSTINCT. HAVE A DREAM JOURNAL AND WRIGHT WHAT YOU HAVE DREAMED.
Hello, I love watching your show and family :)- I have lost three loved ones, My father on fathers day back in 2009, my beloved pet in 2009, and my mother in law 2010, and father in law 2011. As you can see I need alot of closure. I would love to arrange a meeting with you.
God Bless,
Kateri of DE
I feel like I am gonna die. Please help me. I have been so sick for 4 years now. I am so lightheaded all the time. And when I eat no matter what it is my stomach tightens up so tight it takes my breath and I feel I am suffocating. All of this is causing anxiety attacks and I have never had anything like this before. I feel like my loved one could come through and help me telling me what is wrong so I will know what Dr to go to. No one has been able to figure this out. I have no insurance and my husband is the only one working. I have no life, Theresa. I have two beautiful granddaughters and I can not even sit up to enjoy them. Please I need a reading from you but I live in South Carolina and can not get to you. Can you please do a reading for me on the phone? Not long just long enough to see if you can get one of my loved ones spirit to tell you what this is for me. I know you are not a Dr but the spirit world knows what is wrong with me.
SAME TO YOU DEANNA, LESTON TO YOUR SELF AND READ THE COMMENT ABOVE
I would like to make an appt; either for a private reading or a group reading. I live in Va. but travel up to L.I. often. I’m coming up to L.I. in June of 2012 and want to know where you will be doing a group reading then. I lost my brother recently and miss him terribly and want to hear from him! I watch your show every week and never miss it!!May God bless you always. Sincerely Jeanette (Jeannie) Dooley.
Theresa
I’ve been watching your show and I think that maybe you can help me. I have so much of my childhood that’s a blank, I feel like an unfinished puzzle. Sometimes I wish I had the courage to just drive my car into a concrete wall to end the pain I’m feeling right now. I feel so alone. Can you please help me?
Hello Mrs. Cupoto,
I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for, I’ve always have felt like a piece in a puzzle is missing. I’m just different.. Like maybe I need some kind of closure. Also, my husband didn’t make it to his grandfather in time and requested him, there was something he wanted to tell him. . We would so appreciate any appointment that would next be available. Im sure I could also get a group together if that works better for your schedule . Thank you in advance, we look forward to meeting you.:)
Hi, Theresa
I would love for you to give me a reading.
Love your show,
Eleanor

Comments are very important……
Theresa Hello, My daughter just turned 40 and is so upset to be this age. She weight 330 lbs, single, no kids. When she was in her 20’s she had 2 miscarraiges, and had an abortion, because of being on alcohol, didn’t know who the father was. She hasn’t drank since then, wants to know how her children are doing, very depressed not knowing. She wants to put an end of her fellings of unknown. Thank you, hope to hear from you. depressed mom……
Theresa,
I was immediately intrigued by your gift because since my dad passed, I have been very interested in communicating with his spirit. However, what I have been most impressed by is your sincerity and down to earth, heartfelt integrity. The quality of your soul is refreshing. Some day I would love to meet you and spend some time with you. Hopeful.
