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.”

Ms. Teresa Caputo i really need to have a reading with u< i am in Austin Texas don't hav the means to travel, please at least come close to austin
I recently lost my father. We had 2 years of verbal
abuse, & mistrust, constantly on his side, I constantly tried to give him affirmation that I would also take care of him, love him, & continually take care of my mother who is 84, with dementsia.No matter what I would do, he would never acknowlege my sinceraty. When he was diagagnoised with stomach cancer, I did my best, to take him out of the hospital, so that I could take care of him. He saw at the last 4 hrs of living that he was falling. I tried to reason with him that he couldn’t be falling because I was standing in front of him. I tried to calm him, which he did, & latter after 2 hrs. he started screaming that he didn’t want to go. He wanted us to pick him up, & he was screaming that he didn’t want to go. He also, told me that my mother’s mother, was in the room with us. I told him to tell her to go away, & he told me that she was waiting for her son, my mother’s deceased brother to sit down. He kept telling me that he wanted me to pick him up. He kept on screaming this over & over. He felt that he was falling.I tried to tell him, that as long as he saw me standing over him, that he was O.K.Within 2hrs he passed away in my hands, & my sister’s.When he would fight with me, I also told him that the last face he would see on this planet would be mine, & this haunts me every single day. I need for him to know, that whatever I do for my mother I have always did more for him because he was more lucid.I want him to understand that I also tried to be close to him, but he was always tring to fight with me, always tried to mistrust me., & I never gave him a reason for this. It was a crazyness that he developed within a 2 yr. time frame.I once told him that I was going to make sure that he had a military send off. He served in WWII, in Guatacanal. Everything that I felt that was honoring him, & respecting him I did.I need to know, if he realizes the love we have for him.
Thank you much& God bless you & your family.
Love, Stacey

i understand that many people want to ask you questions and I myself have lots. One thing I did not count on that I totally do not understand was that when I brought up your facebook page on my laptop I had this overwhelming crying come over me. The tears just started, don’t know where all of the emotion came from or why I started to cry. All this just from clicking on your facebook page? Forget all of the other questions I had. My question now is why. Are you okay? Please do reply because I really need to know. This has never happened to me before. By the way, I do enjoy your show. Thank you, Karen
Theresa, I watch you on TV and believe that you could give me answers as to my mother, she died almost 28 years ago, I was very young as was she, I still think about her all the time and cry, I need to get some answers, please help me to understand what happened. Thank you
Your show gives me hope. I would like to have a phone reading, and could you send me a show schedule. Best to all Jil

I lost my daughter severla years ago. But, there were unanswered questions. I heard from someone that she was preganant at the time of her death. But, I could never get an answer about this. About one month ago, I lost my best friend. She committed suicide. This was so sudden and no one knows why she did this.
Teresa, from the bottom of my heart I wish to reach out to you for a reading to bring some closure to my life.
I lost a loved one when I was 14 and I would love to be able to speak to you about it in order to move on with my life.

I really need some closure from my husbands passing. He went to Colorado last year on the 2nd of November to visit family and look for a home for us to retire to. Before he left he and I had an arguement and our marriage was in trouble. I felt that if he went to Colorado alittle earlier than we had first dscussed that the time apart would put light on our love. When he got out of the car after driving him to the airport, we did speak at all. I felt horrible that we had left each other this way. I spoke to him a few time on the phone and told him that I loved him, but felt that it wasn’t enough. The night that he had passed I spoke to him for a few short seconds. I did tell him I loved him and he told me he loved me, but there was more to be said just not at that time. I layed down to bed and my phone rang. The person on the other end of the phone said that my husband was dead. He was hit by a car while walking down the street. He was taken so quickly and there are so many questions that I need answers to. I wish I could have a reading with you, and hopefully he will come thru and help me move on. I am at a stand still and want to know if I am making the right decisions. Please help me. Tell me what I need to schedule a reading with you. I will travel to New York to meet with you. I would travel to the end of the world if it would help me. Please respond, Very Respectfully, Earleen Martinez
