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.”

Hello Theresa, I just wanted to tell u that I watch ur show every week and I watch how u make people feel. I think u are doing a amazing job…alot of people have a hard time dealing with a lose of love ones and u give them peace. I too have had alot of lose and had a hard time dealing with it for almost 20yrs now…it just eats away at u everyday and there is no way to find peace. I wish that I could meet with u one day to find peace but, Im just someone from a small town with no chance in meeting u…but watching u help others every week gives me peace and makes me feel that my love ones hear me and see me everyday. Thank u for that!! Thank u!!
I want to get a reading from you. I would like to set an appointment. I hope the person i want to contact, contacts you first.
First I have to say thank you for the wonderful work you are doing for people, it must be exhausting to have thousands of people trying to get a piece of your time. I am hoping you are looking for me; I live across L.I. Sound in Bpt., CT and lost my dad in 87 and my boyfriend in 98. My fathers name is joe and my bf’s name is Bill, the date of March 19th is very important since it was my father and I’s birthday and is also the date of my bf’s death. They communicate with me through songs and symbols but I am just wondering if they have “bothered” you. This is just a stab in the dark and I am trying to find out how to come see you at the Crossroads Restaurant. I would love to meet you, I know thousands of people are trying to get readings with you and if I have to wait until 2013 for a private reading then I will see you then!! Blessed Be.
Dear Theresa,
You are truly an amazing person & what you are able to do for people is incredible. I would love to have you at my home for a group party. Please let me know your availability as I know you are extremely busy. It’s so crazy watching you on t.v. because I have an Aunt that looks just like you.
Thank you & I hope to hear from you soon!

Dear Teresa,
You truly have a gift from God allowing you to help so many with closure and giving them a sense of peace. I would be eternally grateful to you if you could help me achieve the peace I seek. I pray that even if I have to wait two more years to meet with you it will be worth it. ‘
Thank you for being who you are.

Hi Theresa,
I lost my mother in October 2010 and then my father in February 2011. It has been such a stressful agonizing year for me and I feel so much guilt as to what my mother had to go through in the past 3 years of her life and especially the months leading up to her death. I can not stop thinking of the bad memories of having to walk away from my mother, leaving her side and her alone in a unfamiliar enviroment. Then to find out my father passed so soon after her was another devastating blow, I hope some day we can meet or talk and you can possibly send a message of hope to me so I can move on past this terrible feeling I have inside. When I watch your show, I feel comforted in some way, knowing that people are sending messages through you and I can only hope that I get to hear from my parents or even one of them some day. Thank you so much
Teresa – god bless you for your gift and work that heals so many souls. I am one of those who would love to have a mtg with you. I could either go to the restaurant where you give group readings or I could meet with you somewhere else. I live in PA close to the New Jersey border. I know you only want a name and phone number. How do I give you that privately so I do not get scammed by those reading your site? I understand you have a long waiting list and I am prepared to wait. Please find it in your heart to take this request seriously.
Thank you and god bless.
