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.”

My family has lost 3 very important people and my mother needs answers. Can someone please help us?
I lost a family member several years ago….the anniversary of the death is approaching soon. Since late August I have been feeling like I might explode! I would love a reading and would be happy to come to you though it may have to wait till some staffing issues at work are resolved. If you have plans to come to Austin, Texas, I would SOOOOOOOO love to meet you, reading or not! You have been blessed with such a wonderful gift! Even if I never get to meet you, thank you so much for what you do for others who are consumed with grief!
I have been watching Theresa’s show for a very long time, but not sure if there is away to send her an email. Please if someone could let me know how to go about doing this, as I have 3 children who lost there father suddenly.
My husband lost his father when he was 17 …he is now 36..married to me !! and we have 3 awesome children….. My husband would like to to see if his father would come through…see if he is on the otherside watching him and seeing our children. We live around the block from you and would love a private reading ! God Bless
Dear Theresa, I have only watched your show twice now and I would love to have a reading with you. I lost my twin when we were only 6 years old and my father 13 years ago and I thnk of them both alot and would love to know how they are. My name is Rhonda Adams I live in Cincinnati Ohio
I lost my mother, I was there after she passed I waled in the hospital room and her eyes were open and she was allready gone, The look in her eyes was that of sickness and sadness, That night we told the nurse please come and get us when she was ready to go but when the nurse woke us she was allready gone, the strange thing was I allready new that, when I was in the lobby on the couch trying to sleep I felt a breeze, peace and something like a kiss then I fell to sleep and I believe the nurse came right in to wake me, I talked to my sister she experienced the same thing. Sometimes I feel like I want to be in the grave with her like I dont want to even be here. Please help me and give me a reading. God Bless you.
My name is jaci, My best friends name is Cameron durrence, hes had a fairly tough life and recently lost his dad.. im so worried about him and his mother. Hes 16 years old and i know its so hard on him and her. I know Teresa could help. Hes always telling me how much he misses him, that last things he said to him. i know he has unanswered questions, Please help me? he has no idea that im asking for your help.
My fiance’ lost his brother 19 years ago and has been tormented ever since by the “what if’s and how’s”. I feel if we could come and have a reading with you this may give him some peace/closure and allow him to finally relax and know that his brother is alright and that things in life will take their own route and he should stop trying to “control” everything. He is an old fashioned italian kind of guy who really needs this.
I lost my husband about 10 years ago. We were married over 50 years.
I have been watching your show for just a short time.. I wish I had an easier time, and not be so confused.. Today was my brother’s b-day.. I miss him all the time, but on the day of his birth.. I think of him lots more.. He was 7 years older than me, when I was born, my mother came home from the hospital with me on the day of his 7th.. birthday.. I miss him, and hope he is out of pain, and at peace..
It would be great if you could answer my questions..
Thank you
Patti

the middle of the the mountains in NC. I bet you a nickle…that you would not come here. The places you go are in very nice houses. So why would you come here?? I live in a single wide trailer. I bet you could not read me even if I was sitting in a fancy house up on the town. I do not believe although your show is very entertaining. Regards, Jennifer Nielsen
