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 therea my husband and i would like to have a reading w you can you tell us how to .
Theresa, I know your busy but I’m really fighting my own anxiety. I am a very anxious and sensitive to the spirit world. I can feel them them talking to me, wanting me to relate things to people who are total strangers to me. They come to me in my dreams and even when I,m out in public I feel compelled to ask someone about a lost loved one. I haven,t done it yet because I feel I really need to harness this gift only I don’t know how to. Please help me to validate that what I feel is real, so people won’t think I am insane.
Hi Theresa,
I would love some info regarding my parents and fiance. I sometimes get the feeling they’re trying to tell me something!
I have a friend who is curious too. Would love to hear from/meet with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Santa Rando

I don’t know you very well, but I love the gift
that you have to give to otheres. I would love for
you to give me a reading om my dad. I lost my dad
four years ago in a tragic accident. I saw him
that morning, then off to the farmers market, he
never returned. My aging mother isn’t dealing with
it, and for me its hard to see her like this. I
wanted know if hes with us and how hes doing.We
miss him so much!
Theresa, I am dealing with Breast Cancer, I am an alcoholic and fighting to stay sober, I’ve been told to just stop, easier said then done.my finances are up in the air and I have a major unanswered question that won’t stop making my mind race. I wish you could tell me if this madness is going to get better or am I in this for a long haul. I am unable to work and can’t seem to get out of my own head. I think you are amazing! I just watched you on Good afternoon America.
Hello I watch you all the time and im in need of something. I would like to see if you can tell me if my loved ones can tell me what happened when they died!
Hi Teresa, I have a very interesting story about my family of Italian Descent on my father’s side. We have most of our family history, but there are some questions about my father’s father that remain a mystery. My Father has now passed on , but all his life he searched for his true father. You see, his mother would never reveal his father’s true identity because (as we believe)he was a prominent mob figure from the 1930’s. So my grandfather’s identity remains a mystery. My grandmother was sworn to secrecy. I wondered if you could help me with this as I have been burdened like my father was. I have some gifts and abilities psychicly too, that tell me to look toward Milan Italy. My mother who just passed kept secrets about this too. Not sure all the reasons why, but it would be good to uncover some of this Psychicly. So to speak. I believe I developed my abilities after suffering a brain injury years ago. I saw you on T.V. and I know exactly what you mean when you say, you can’t totally describe what you see and how you see it. But I have the same thing. I actually see things before they happen. Anyway, if you could contact me, if you think you can help. Thank you. I also used to be a Long Island resident. Iris
