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.”

Theresa, It was wonderful to see a TV show that exposes people to hearing from those who have passed over. I am a true fan. My Mom introduced me to the world of astrology/mediums. There are many people that do not believe or think that what you or others like you do not have a gift. When I watch the show and listen to those you touch I know it is real. I will be at your visit in Grand Rapids, MI on March 2nd. I was pleasantly surprised that you added a second show, this is a very conservative area it is difficult to find others that believe in your gift. It will be great to see faces in the audience that share the experience. I don’t know what it takes to have a reading with you but would love to know the process. What a blessing it will be to see you in person and possibly hear what someone who has passed over may want me to know.
Please continue with your show and sharing your gift, you bring such comfort to those you speak with. And sharing your life and your family with us is just a hoot, but it’s real and that’s what makes it great.
Safe travels and I look forward to seeing you on March2, 2013.
I heard you are coming to Richmond VA in April 2013 to the Landmark. I am due on April 15, 2013 with my 1st child but I will be there if I can afford the tickets. I really hope I can make it and even more than I get a reading from you. I have sent u several msgs regarding the passing of my 21 yr old Brother. We had to make a desion to pull the plug or let him be a vegatable (as they said). It was the hardest thing we have ever done and will ever do! We don’t know if he took his life on purpose or not or if we made the right desion. Would he have came back around? PLEASE help us so we can be at peace and my Brother can be at peace. My Mom worries that he is not in Heaven bc of the way it happened. I almost lost her too bc of this. Please, Please help me Teresa. I will do whatever I can to meet with you. My Mom and myself’s ever happiness depends on it.
Thank you & God bless.
My name is April Snow and I desperatly need your help. I lost my Brother in 2009. He was just 21 yrs old. We can’t spread his ashes bc we are scared to. I almost lost my Mom after my Brother bc she wanted to see if he took his life on purpose so she did what he did but thank God she got out of it and was okay. I live in fear that I will lose her. She has lost everything after my Brother passed. I am 30 now and expecting my first Baby on April 15, 2013. I pray that I can meet with you or talk to you before she gets here so I can be at peace and my Mom can to. My Paw Paw passed a few years my Brother and we were there with him until his last breathe. My Brother did not have a will at 21 yrs old so my Mom and I had to be the ones to make the call on wether to let the machines keep him alive or not. We question our decesion everyday. I don’t think I can truely be at peace and even have a shot at being happy until we know if he did it on purpose and if we made the right desion or not. Please, just tell me what I need to do in order to meet with you or even talk to you. Thanks you and God bless.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! MY BROTHER DID NOT TAKE HIS OWN LIFE ON PURPOSE! And even if he did my Mumma and I just need to know so we can be at peace and remember the good instead of the bad. He was only 21 yrs old and passed in 2009. My mom and Nanny found him in his room at her house. My Mom freaked and couldn’t do anything and has never forgiven herself. It wasn’t her fault! No one knows what they would do if they walked in and saw what she did! We think we know. I am 30 yrs old expecting my first child in April 2013. I pray that I will have some answers before Alyssa comes into this world so I can be happy with her. How can I make her as happy as she should be if I am not happy? I am losing my Mom little by little and I fear everyday that will be the day I get a call that she is gone. She tried once. She wanted to see if my Brother did it on purpose so she did what he did, same place and everything but thank God she got down. I don’t know what I would do if I lost my Mom. There are so many other things that only you can help us with. Even if it’s just me or my Mom. Please Teresa:) Just tell me what I have to do and I will do it. I have had a reading before with a friend’s partner and she knew some things but was wrong about the sex of my Baby so know I am left with more questions. I need you help so I can move on and stop living in fear and sadness and live in peace and happiness. I will continue to pray everyday until the day I meet you:) Happy belated Valentine’s Day!!! I love your family!

Mrs. Theresa, Love you and your show, and I believe in you whole heartedly. But I really need to reach out to you. Im 42 years old, and am not very healthy. My partner of 13 years and I have had a very bad tragedy in his family. But I need your advice and guidance for me. I REALLY need to know whats going on in my life, who’s around me, who NEEDS to reach out to me. I am not rich by far, so please if you could look into your heart(which I know you have)and just give me my answers. I am constantly in a spiritual battle within, so my spiritual path is chaotic, and Im very scared, and dont kknow what to do. And wish many blessings of protection, and Prosperity for you and your loving family. Please save me Aaron
HI I have watched your shows for some time and the one thing I like that sets you apart is that you only ask spirits for positive not negative. I have lost my Mother back in 1988 and my fatherr 10-years latter. I am sure I could find alot of peace in my and my daughters hearts if we could have a reading and something positive would be said.There has been even before there passing so much negative I have been affraid to go down this avanue but I do believe and I believe in your abilities BUT I must warn you my family was and still is very hard. I before I pass away and note my healt is not all the best woyuld like some PEACE that when I cross over I will be loved the way I should have when I was here on earth with this family of mine.I also would love for my mother to see how well my daughter and my Grandchildren are doing.Thank You Teresa .I would love a privste meeting with you myself and my daughter.
