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 taking a chance on this email, hoping that it will jump out at you to HELP…A while back you were in stamford, ct. I saw the ad in the paper of your appearance, I felt the need so bad to go see you, but with 1 day before your show, I couldn’t find anyone to go with me..so I figured next time..I started to tell friends and coworkers about you, some have seen the show, some are skeptical, but everyone wants to see you if your in connecticut again, but then one day my son said, he sent your a email, for a private meeting, I was shocked but at the sametime I came to the realization that he deep down inside, is probably saying “WHAT IF ?. We lost two very important people in my family, we had 2 funerals in a short period of time. Our lives have never been the same. For myself I keeping asking what if, was there something more I could have done, to make him hold on…Never got to say goodbye. There is so many thoughts and my heart is broken, it doesn’t seem to heal..So when my son said he emailed you, I thought he has to be feeling the same way and is holding all his feeling inside..
He’s been married a year, our loss will be going on 5 years now, I want my son not to carry any guilt or what if’s on his heart. So if you can find it in your heart to send us information on how to contact you, I would really appreaciated, we both need this.
I know now I am asking too much, but where I work, we all have lost someone in our lives, either in tradegy, sickness, suicide, unanswered deaths..I don’t think a office has lost so many loved one has we have, but I have quite a amount of people who would like to have a group session.. I told them I put it out there, so I have..
I hope I will hear from you, I can’t tell you I feel that you are our answer to our questions that we haven’t acknowledge out loud.
God Bless you and your Family,
Nancy

hi theresa i sand you a message a week ago i need too have a reading with you, i live in torrington connecticut 06790 i love your show on tv. hope too hear from you soon love domenica
Dear Teresa,
My name is Kaitlin McSweeney. I live in a small town in Niceville, Florida. I’m pretty sure you won’t even read this but I thought it was worth a shot. I don’t have the money to join the other websites I have found about you. I’ve watched your show and I believe you are the “real deal” if you will. I am 24 years old with a beautiful 2 year old daughter named Eisley. On September 20th of this year I lost my fiance’ Shane in a horrific car accident. He was mine and my daughters world. He was my soulmate and he was only 27. They say he had a seisure which he was prone to but I’m really not entirely sure what happened. I went to the crash site and thats what looks like what probably happened but I still need answers. On December 29th of this year we would have been together 4 years. Once again he was my soulmate, my everything. Every single from day to day is such a struggle because my daughter and I have so many unanswered questions. I know that on your show you sometimes go to people’s homes to surprise them with a reading. I was just praying to God that maybe I could be one of those people. I can’t express in words how much it would mean to me to get some answers and know that he is okay now. It would me the world to me if you could possibly help me out. Either way, thank you.
Kaitlin McSweeney.

Please, I have been waitning for over a yearer to have a scheduled appt. please scheudle somethng sooner for me.
I am taking on alot more responsiblity in my life these days. Taking care of my elderly Mother, helping her fight her battle against cancer. Taking guardianship of my niece, her Parents have left all the responsibly on me.
I feel very overwhelmed, I have such sadness in my life, I feel very alone. My two boys, I feel like they’re heading in a path of self-distruction. I have been doing this since I was 15 years old. I was a kid raising kids of my own. I feel my life has never been my own. I geniouly love people in general and would die for my family, but I feel that I am not “right” in my head. I feel like I am going into a really bad depression. I NEED YOUR HELP TERESA.

I wanted to come see you in Norfolk but I will be recovering from surgery. I believe in what you do and wish I could sit down with you for just a few minutes. I feel so many spirits around me most of all my dad and my husband. You see in April of this year I tried to end my life because of depression and a very harmful med that I was on. I don’t remember anything after I left my sister’s on Friday and then I woke up Tuesday in the hospital. I have so many questions and can’t find answers. Someday I will meet you and you will give me what I need, answers! Please continue to do what you do cause you give so many people peace! May you be blessed always.
