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.”

Good news – Theresa’s show got renewed today, so she’ll be back for another 12 episodes in March 2012. Remember to send your emails directly to Theresa if you are looking to book an appointment, her email address is in my blog.
Hi Theresa,
I love your show! You are so amazing and I love that you are embracing your gift publicly. Blessings to you and your family! <3 🙂
Would love to be able to have a reading for my husband. He is very depressed and I think it is due to the passing of his loved one. There was so much left unsaid between the two. He has started drinking and I dont think he knows how to deal with all his emotions. I just feel if there was someway for him to have communication maybe he would have some peace and start to live his life again. If Teresa does phone readings, I would even be willing to do that. If she is going to be having a seminar or anything I would love to know. I live in Illinois. Thanks so much:)
Do you do phone readings? Thanks for a reply…
Would like to have a reading as soon as you can.
Thank you
Am still getting dreams of my father after he passed suddenly at the age of 66 ,30 years ago.
There are so many questions I have especially for my uncle, who also died suddenly.
Love the show!! If I were able to meet you, I would ask about my cousin Johnny. He passed under very usual and mysterious circumstances. The police were unable to determine if he commited suicide or was murder. The family wants to know either way. The police are also clueless as to who could have done this if it was murder. The family needs to know once and for all how this happened. Any light you could shed on this would be appreciated.
Are u people retarted, teresa did not write this article about herself, so everyone begging for a reading needs to call her not post messages, this is just a story on her not her website, u guys have no sense.
Not sure about this but would like to try does anyone know if this really works. At this point would try anything just skeptical I guess.
Theresa, I believe!! So did very important people in my life no longer with us and I need guidance and my children need assurance – they would know. It would alleviate this pain we have – I would take your first available appoint – next week or 3 years from now.

Theresa,
Among all the people begging for help, and all of those you help on a daily basis,
I cannot imagine how overwhelming this must be at times. I hope you find the time to take time and care for yourself– you are so deserving of that.
Wishing you health, happiness, and peace!
Hi my name is nick and im a 21 year old guy who has lost some one who i love and miss more than i can bare its been two years and i still have dreams, trouble sleeping, and sooo much anger in me that i dont know how to deal with im not sure if i even completely believe in mediums but i am lost and dont know what else to do i was wondering if i could possibly make an appointment to help me i feel like im running out of options on how to cope and not be miserable the rest of my life.
Thanks,

hi 4years ago I lost some one very special to me an have asked for closure but not sure if i am reciving messages or missing them
I would like to make an appointment with you.
Hi, my name is paula garcia, my grandmother died time only i want to know how she is and if i want to say something to my thank you 😉
Dear Theresa,
I have been watching you on TLC since it first aired and I have to say that I think that you are totally amazing. I live in a small town in Canada (Brantford Ontario) and I know that I will probably never get the chance to meet you in person but a girl can dream. I was just wondering if you are going to be doing another season with TLC (Please say yes).
You have truly made me a believer. The world has become such an underhanded and mean place and it is so refreshing to see that you will just walk up to someone give them closure without expecting a dollar sign behind it.
You warm my heart with your positive energy and I truly wish you and your family all the best.
Sincerely,
Tami Farrell
If you ever do phone readings, I would consider it to be an honour to speak with you.
