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.”

Hi Teresa, I have been to so many physics longing to know that my deceased mother is okay but none of them could tell me. Needless to say they all received huge chuncks of money from me only to tell me about myself. Like many others I just want to hear her, see hear, touch her which I know will never happen in this life time. Being a woman, I have to be honest I felt abandoned and I had to learn a great deal from LIFE itself; good and bad. If I could rewind just so that I could see her and tell her that I love her and she knows it would make my day. Keep doing what you do! I look forward to one day before I’m dead and gone to see or speak to you!

Hi Teresa, I love your show and wish I could have an appointment with you. We lost our Mother last april 2012. It’s been very difficult for me. we were very close. Mother and daughter and bff’s. But we live in kansas, yes, kansas and I doubt I’ll ever get to New York. I’ve tried really hard to go on without her but there are times I just wish so badly I was with her again. Iam thankfull you are out there helping others however. Keep up your wonderful work and God Bless you and yours, respectfully, M.B.S
Hi teresa i lost my parents when i was young. I was eight when dad died and 13 when mom died. I feel like my mom watches over me still today and im forty one now. I was the only one that wasnt there when my mom died and i had a dream that she came and told me bye and when i woke up i was crying and when my aunt took me home and i seen all the cars i knew that she had passed away. I love what u do.
Hello Teresa, Like so many others I have loved ones & friends that I have lost and sure I would love to sit down and have a ice tea and chew the fat with all of them ;o). but the living at this time in my life is so much more important, all I want to say to you is God bless you for what you do for so many people I now you love what you do and it is your life but Mediums like you have to be be the greatest and strongest people on earth, someday I will get lucky enough to experiance what you do but it is hopefully for those I have lost and not with whom I have in my life now. Go Bless WMW
I have always felt I’ve had a gift also but I’m not sure how to develope it. I have had a difficult life but still have a very strong faith that positive things are in my future and also for my childern. I would love to connect with my father and also one of my son’s closest friends from the army we all lost in’10. I admire you deeply and thank-you for sharing your gift (and your family) with the public. Thank-you.I hope I will hear from you. Lori
I would like to meet with Teresa to resolve some old hidden issues.
My mother is very interested in hearing from my father who passed on March 27,2010. She has been somewhat angry with him for leaving before her. I think a reading would help her. Her health has not been very well. She has had heart trouble and we have been having trouble getting her medications right. If there is any way you could do a phone reading, that would be great. Respond to my email if you can. Thank you!
Hi Theresa, I lost my dad in 2009 and my dad never spoke to me in his last moments. I am having a hard time with it still. Ive lost grandparents before him as well. And my pets. This stress has caused me in a deep depression. Please email me. I believe in you and I watch your shows and I love it. I cry at everyone of them. You help so many people. Please help me !!!!!

Hi my 15year old daughter can speak to the deceased since she was 3 she can only do this at night and at the cemetery my family is buried at problem is she doesn’t know how to turn it off she was just realizing she sees them at our home and well just about anywhere she has many questions but I can’t answer them I’ve read many books to try to explain this to her or help answer some questions but I’m not much help she hss helped a lot of my friends and family with her gift and I would love to help her understand her gift can you please help this mom.
I am getting more furious by the minute! I just wrote a long email expressing some very valid concerns and must be someone working for you didn’t like them because a message appeared that my email needed validation (?? whatever that means). Next thing I know my email vanishes completely. What a way to deal with people that have valid concerns.
I guess rather than giving you good pr I will be telling everyone how you deal with people that don’t just suck up to you. Remember desperate people will do or say anything to try to connect with loved ones.What a SCAM but I guess it pays for your lovely home. you will be judged some day and it will not be by your fans.
Maybe Dick doesn’t want to cross over to talk to you
I have lost both parents and five siblings over a span of approximately 40 years. The person who I miss “wholeheartedly” when I think ‘them’,is someone who I dearly loved and looked up to as I was growing up.Even today thinking of this sibling I can go into uncontrollable tears, of whom I need guidance at this time of my life.
