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 my name is chesnie my mom has MS an is suffering an i no she would very much love to have u give her a reading shes an awsome ma an means the world to me pleace
I am a 56yr. old woman who had a mother who was very abusive which began shortly after my birth. She just disliked me all my life. I’ve been suffering with depression & anger at my mother for the last number of years & been getting alot of flashbacks of different ugly moments. Why didn’t anyone rescue me? I can’t seem to move on and at my age I really need to get this out of my system. It has ruined many relationships. My brothers just keep telling to get over it but they don’t understand the psycological damage that has been done to me. They received all my mothers love and I don’t know why. Can you help me? Yvonne

Hi Theresa,I was watching your show last night and just love the way you bring so much joy to the grieving people. On last nights episode the gentleman Michael looks like such a nice kind man. I know the perfect girl for him if he is ready to move on.
Hi Theresa, my name is Crystal Schulz and I live in Alden NY. I am writing to you for a teacher of my daughters who lost her son Andrew 3 years ago in a horrific car crash. I know she has visited physics in the past but there is only one Theresa Caputo!!! She donates a lot of her time to UNYTS since they kept her son alive for two weeks after his crash. I know nothing can ever bring him back but I would like to see her get some kind of sign that he is okay. She is an amazing person and teacher to my daughter. She does so much for UNYTS and others I would like to do something for her!! Idont know if you ever come to Alden which is a suburb of Buffalo NY. Thank you for taking the time to read this!! Sincerely, crystal
Hi Theresa, I was wondering if you ever visit Massachusetts or the Rhode Island area. I have a good friend of mine who lost her mother several years ago and is having an extremely hard time dealing with it. She was an only child and was very close with her mom. She has two children and is having a lot of family issue. She feels alone and needs to know her mom is watching over her. Please help her if you can.
Hi, Teresa
Let me start by saying you are inspirational. I love what you do to help other people and find closure. My grandmother passed away in 2008. Her passing has left a gap in our lives. I just want to know if she is around us and if she’s ok now. I just want to know if my grandmother has any messages for us. I love you grandma.
Thank you Teresa for all you do.
Hi Teresa,
As many I too love your show and believe that you have a God given gift. My father in the other hand is 92 years old and is skeptical. He would always say he would like to know what comes after death, but that no one has come from the other side to tell him what it is like. Thankfully he is in good health, but I would love for him to meet you.
please contact me if possisble for an appointment.May you and your loved ones be blessed.
Unable to put my phone number.Not sure if Canada is one of your destinations.I entered last contest.Not sure how to do it now seeing the set up is different.Long distance takes a 1 before the number and it won’t take the number.So if this is just for Americans please state that so we won’t be wasting our time hoping for a chance for a reading Thank You
Hi Theresa my name is Brittney. I am a big fan of yours and your show. Was a bit of a skeptic till I saw you in person in west bury during one of your llive shows. Tried reaching out to you once or twice since but as I’m sure you get thousands of emails daily, never heard back. Since then, my grandmother has passed whom I was extremely close with. I would love a chance to communicate with her and maybe get some closure in my life. Hopeful I will hear back from you sometime soon. Take care

Theresa, I live in New Paltz NY, the home of Mohonk Mountain House, and although I am always so skeptical about anyone who can talk, or communicate with the other side, I do admire your character, and enjoy your shows, and I hope that I would have a chance to meet you one day, and see it for myself,the gift you have been given to connect me with love ones that have departed…
