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 THERESA, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN HAVE A GROUP READING. MY HUSBAND PASSED 2 YEARS AG0. EVERY ONE ASKES ME IF I GET ANYTHING FROM HIM. HE DIED IN THE HOSPITAL. I FEEL I LEFT HIM THERE. WE ARE HAVING A DEVORSE IN THE FAMILY, I ASK HIM FOR HELP ALL THE TIME. I FEEL HE LEFT EVERY THING ON ME. YOU WERE ASKED IN A NEWS PAPER INTERVIEW IF GOD EVER CAME TO YOU AND YOU SAID NO. HE CAME TO ME WHEN I WAS 13. I WAS SICK AND SAID I WANTED TO DIE. HE TOLD ME NEVER WISH TO DIE. I HAD A VERY BAD COUGH. WHEN HE LEFT MY ROOM THE COUGH WENT AWAY. MY PARENTS COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I TOLD MY FRIEND FATHER PAT ABOUT IT. HE SAID HE COMES IN DIFFERENT WAYS. HE EVEN SAVED ME WHEN I WAS ON THE LIE. MY TIRE BLEW AND I WENT BETWEEN TWO 18 WHEELERS AND WENT UP IN A HILL. I DO NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING. A YOUNG MAN CAME TO MY CAR, ASKING IF I WAS OK. HE FIXED MY TIRE AND LEFT. NEVER KNEW WHO HE WAS. ONE LADY SAW ME AND SAID I HAVE A HALOW ABOVE MY HEAD. NEVER KNEW THIS PERSON. SHE READS HANDS. COULD THIS BE TRUE. PLEASE CALL ME. PORT WASHINGTON N.Y.
i need to hear from my aunt who died from melonoma when i was 9 and now im 12 i was also wanting to suprise my dad with a reading for his b day
i really want a reading for dad
if she did this for people just because, she would be at my house or calling me, cause I have been asking her forever, never heard back. its been sooo soo long.
I am in ah of you and you are such a good person. I know you do this as a business, but you also do this for people just because. This is something you do not have to you. That is why I believe you are real. You are a person of good character and I can tell really good mom. Stay the person you are no matter what. If you are ever in the Bay Area (Oakland/San Francisco) I would love to come to one of your shows. No matter what will be watching you on Long Island Medium.

I recently learned my brother Rich died. I’m being told that he would bang his fist on the dining room table and say I want to see my sister. I’d love to know if this is true. I loved him and miss him dearly. Knowing the truth would help me so much. I appreciate any and all help you may be able to give. God Bless You Always!
Hello Teresa, I wasn’t going to write, but when I saw my email note would be 444, it was a sign. My former husband and I had this number as our secret, ‘just in case’ you need to identify yourself secretively. So I felt the pull. He took his own life 2 1/2 years ago and I found him. I feel he’s tried to reach me a few times and we just haven’t fully connected.
Love watching your programs, cry right along with you.
God bless you,
Nancy

Hi Theresa, I just love you so very much and I am watching your On The Road show right now and felt so strongly about contacting you in hopes that you could come visit me and give me a reading as I need to know my dear loving Mum is in a good place, she passed on Oct 18, 2012 and there is not one single day that goes by that I do not think of her. Please help !!
Not sure if you will respond? worth a chance. I lost my older brother in 1973, due to a murder! never found out who did it and it haunts me to this day. I feel like i cant let it go even tho I was only 8 when he died. I feel him around me all the time and feel he is trying to tell me who murdered him. It has now shifted from me to my son whom I’ve named after my Brother. He is so inquisitive and asks many questions regarding his namesake. We are of Native American Culture and truly believe in spirit! I really need to know what happened to my brother because at the time of his death, I felt it was my fault…
Hi Teresa- my dad just passed aug. 28th I have some questions?!
