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!
You are such an awesome and amazing person!
I have lost both parents 10 years apart from each other and miss them very
much. Never really got to say goodbye to neither parent.
There’s not a day go by that I don’t think about them.
I Love watching your show!! You rock!
God bless you and your family.
Dear Teresa I lost my father and I am having a hard time with it if you could find the time for a reading it would mean everything but I know you are busy.
I never miss any of your shows I think what you do is wonderful would give anything if you had time for a reading with me I know you are busy but I have recently lost my father and have had a hard time with this but I guess you are probably to busy for this but it would mean alot thank you and I will continue to watch you and hope to be lucky enough to have a reading with you.
Hi theresa i would my grandma died 23 years ago she was a mother of 9 the fact that my grandma died many of my auties have not stayed peace with them selfs one of my auties witch affects me the most thinks she cant be happy with anyone or she wont be able to die in peace because she feels like my grandma hasnt forgiven her we live in denver co. It would mean the world to me and fam to know what my grandma has thought all this time.
I am hoping for a private reading ( no cameras) for my daughter and me to hopefully contact my mother and father there was no closure for my daughter or me and it torments us everyday, we both need to know if they are together and at peace. We can come to you when ever it is convenient for you. We are avid fans and adore you and your wonderful family. We hope this is possible and will wait to hear from you. May god bless you and your family. We would be ever so grateful. Please keep making peoples lives more content even if its not us. You have been blessed with a great gift. Thank you.

Hi Theresa! My name is McKenna and I am a junior at Hartford Union High School in Hartford, Wisconsin. I am currently taking an AP Psychology class, along with many other students. At the moment we are studying ESP, and my teacher, does not believe that ESP exists. We would LOVE if you came in to explain what you do and how it works. Thank you so much!

Hi I’m 11 years old my brother and sister died when they were born and I want to hear how they are doing
Hello, I would like some info about getting a reading for husband.I would really appreciate it if u could please contact me via email.thank you very much
I can’t spell apparently, need spell check at all times. On my previous email I misspelled disappointed and guilt. It is guilt not quilt.
My apologies!
As I looked at your site I became very dissapointed. I knew that it would be close to impossible to even get through to you but seeing a two year wait list I realized that the chances of response would even be even more impossible. However, you never know! Even though I have lost many loved ones; my concern and focus of this request would be for my in-laws. My mother, father and sister-in-laws. I have watched for 25 years the quilt and sadness that is carried by all of them. It absolutely breaks my heart. My mother-in-law is 79 years old and my father-in-law is 80 years old and they certainly deserve peace in their hearts after their family tradegy approximately 46 years ago. The pain and difficulty that my sister-in-law has experienced most of her life has been due to this tragedy as well. My hope is this note will catch someone’s attention and possibly have you visit the Buckeye state or have the family visit you!
hi, I know you do personal readings but I was wondering if you would do a group reading in my community. in the last few years we have had a lot of suicides. and this community has been dealing with a lot of unanswered question. I thought if you were to come and do a group reading that not just one but many people would be able to move their own lives forward. if you could please email me that would be great.thanks
