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.”

On77/22//99 I was involved in an accident with an 18 wheeler where I was pinned in my car at the hips. When the 18 wheeler finally stopped, it’s rear wheels were on my trunk. He was asked in court what stopped him. He said an o,d black man. I clearly remember no one except the driver was there before help came. (the driver never came to my aid as I was screaming so loud for my life that I popped my jaw.) My husband later told me when he got to the scene an old black man tapped him on his shoulder asking if he was my husband. He then said he stopped the truck from crushing me to death my husband described the man the same way the driver did. Please, who was this man? He disappeared when my husband got paper for his name.
Hi there,
Do you do readings over the phone? I would like to make an appointment with you either by phone or in person.
I hope to hear from you soon. Love the show!

i would like to know if my dad is proud of me and likes my husband and if he knows how much my mother misses him.
i would like to know if my mom dad and brother keith are watching over me.
Watch you. Contact? I believe that God is using you.
My brother and I need to know why our father commited sucicide, and why he left the door unlocked for a 6 yr old and 7 yr old to find him in a lake of his blood. This sounds so dramatic when put down like this. but it is somthing that has been haunting both of us for so long.. It has driven my brother to acholism. This happened over 50 years ago and both of us still have so many unresolved issues. Please help before my brother kills himself with booze.
Thank you so much for reading this. Even an answer of no will at least let me know that I can give up hope again. I was a total non believer before you started your show. Now I am not so sure, again thank you
Hello Theresa,
Please help me get some answers.My dear sister,Mary,was murdered in 1975-she was only 29.I have been tormented and sad for a long time as Mary was my oldest sister and a loving sister.Perhaps she has a message for me.I keep thinking about how she died and wish I could have helped her.I will probably never get to see you as I live in Canada-up North-but I could pay you for my reading.Please help me!!! Thank you…

Theresa,
I really would love to have you help me heal a large hole in my life and heart. I lost my 2 very best friends my mother and father, 7 months apart. I struggle in my job, have never been able to sleep very well. I am alone and have never been in love or found a partner. I would love to have a consultation with you or have you comfort whatever this life has thrown me. I absolutley love you, you are warm and wonderful it getting the stories across to everyone. Keep doing what you do so well. Love you
I have emailed you and really need to get in contact with my daughter who has passed. Please read my email and help. Thank You for you kindness.
And what a great show.
Hi, I was wondering if you did appointments over the phone and how much is each session. I really would like to set a session up when I get a car. I have so many questions that you may be able to answer. I love what you are able to do and kind of wish I could do the same. Thank you.
Hey Girl….all I can say is “awesome” You & your family look like you have good times, Keep up the fun times! Good Luck
