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 Alexis and There is over 9,000 responses on this thing so I doubt it’ll work, I doubt you’ll see it but its around Christmas and my mom seems happy all the time but, I can tell she is not. My mom loves your show, and I know that because every time I walk into the living room shes crying watching your show. I actually can feel it, I know this wont work but I wouldn’t feel good if I didn’t try for her. My moms mother died about a year and a half ago, I was 14 and I actually don’t know how she died because I cant bring myself to ask my mom. she just gets too upset. All I can remember is we were all up all night that night and me and my brother and sister cleaned the whole house because she was taking an air-plain to Florida to set up the funereal with her sister. My sister was devastated too and crying all night but I didn’t really know my nanny that well, But I still cried my eyes out because it hurt so bad to see my mom cry like that and I don’t even want to think about losing my mom one day. I would love if you came and helped my mom, it would make this the best Christmas ever for her.
Hey Teresa my name is kyana and I love your show I would like to have a reading by you to know if my little brother is ok
Hello Theresa,
Im currently watching your tv show, and I got to talking to my boyfriends mother about this, and if she’d ever talk to a medium. Surprisingly she said she’s already signed up for a visit with you and that shes on a waiting list, she also said in December, you will be going to Tulsa, Oklahoma at the hard rock casino, she wanted to buy tickets but unfortunately they were sold out.within an hour, she has losther nanny & grandma honey, from what shes told me, and my.boyfriend, she hasnt been the same since, I know just from small talk that it.would mean the absolute world to her if she could reach out to them somehow. Please help. Thank you.
Dear Theresa,
I love your show so much and that you have a wonderful gift. Any way, my mom has been in a lot of stress, because her dad dead and her mom is almost passing away. I may be only 12 years old and I give a lot of effert to help my mom. Also, I still know what it feels like when someone was passing away and that requires sadness, anger and guilt. If you please come and see my mom and my twin sister, I would feel like that would give a lot of release in this family.
Thanks you so much!

Dear Theresa,
First I would like to say how much I enjoy watching your series, I even have my husband watching.
I desperately need your help. Five years ago I lost my dad and just nine months ago I lost my mom. I have dreams of my mother but when she comes to me she is always so angry with me and is always hitting me. I don’t know if she is upset with me and I need closure. Both mom’s and dad’s passing has left me with so many unanswered questions and I need to know if I can find peace. I appreciate your time and hoping to hear from you soon
