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.”

Canada so please if there is any way that you can help him I will appreciate it. thank you. Elizabeth

Hi Theresa,
My sister, Julie, actually started watching you and asked me to check it out. You are so blessed. We lost our father this past September to cancer. I don’t want to say to much so that if we ever do get to sit with you, you will be able to tell us what you know. It all happened very quickly.We were all with him in hospice. Since we weren’t able to speak to him at the last moments it would help to know what he was going through. So much goes through your mind when you lose someone so quickly. If we could ever get a reading with you we would be so pleased. Thank you for considering our story.
Hi, I am very interested in a reading with you. I’ve recently lost quiet a few family members, and would love to hear from my sons father. Please email soon!!
I enjoy your show very much and would like to have a reading. I live in Iowa and as everyone else who writes or contacts you, have an interest in seeing who comes through for me. I lost my father when I was 19 and I’m now 56. I believe our loved ones who have passed are still here and it gives such comfort to hear what you have to say. I’d love to talk to you. I know you are very busy.
I hope this reachs you. I lost my mother Sept. 15,2010. Ten days later I lost my bio. father, whom I was never extremely close then on sept.15,2011 I lost my step father. My life has been devasted. I cry dailey, and can’t seem to get over any of this. Would love to see you, for maybe some closure.
I would like to be able to come to Long Island to have a private reading. Will you please put me on your waiting list or let me know what is available. Thank you for your time and your work that you do for everyone. God Bless you.
Hi Theresa,
I live in New Hampshire. My sisters and I really would love if you could schedule us for a reading. We know you are crazy busy. Thanks and God Bless.
