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.”

Hello
My X husband watches your show all the time..it has changed his soul to be lighter. Your work is giving him hope. Thank you. We live together in New Mexico to raise our one son together! It works and the love is good.
We both suffer from a poor economy…I think its deeper now. Something with the loss of parents, grandparents stunted us and it carried over in our adult lives. We both are in the moment and doing our best but we struggle with the freelance life style …music producer and photographer. NM is just tragic for income.
anyways..your show has boosted my X and our son and myself feel it has helped him to watch it and know that he can connect with his mom. And my my family.
Merry christmas. I make a mean meanball too.
lunch on me if you come to NM and our farm for fun.

Hi Theresa my name is Lynn and I lost my only son in a head-on fatal collision on August 15, 2012. His name is Chad, he was 36 years old, married to Melanie and the father of 2 young children, Ava 6, and Keaton 5.
I am so miserably sad, I miss this man so much I have a hard time breathing.
I want him to tell me he’s at peace and not hurting anymore. I want him to know that my love will always surround him forever. I want him back.
Love your show and love you Teresa ! You really make a difference for so many people missing their loved ones. I hope someday I will be honored to receive a reading from you !!
God Bless.
Karen
I just LOVE you and your show……I have lost 2 sister, father and nephew. You are just a amazing person, and you help soooooo many people. If you ever come to iowa let me know……
Theresa, I have suffered a very devastating loss this year (2013) and I am having trouble dealing with it and moving on. Others are involved that I am now responsible for alone and I try to make sure they are happy and all their needs are met but now my own emotions are busting out of the seams and I just cant get over it. There are questions, guilt, no real closure, and so much insecurity. Can you help me in any way? I have a hole the size of Texas in my heart and it just wont heal! Thank You for your time and Merry Christmas and God Bless You.
i lost a baby at 4moths old, i lost my mom about 30 yers ago.who i miss so much, i lost my bouther about 8 years ago. i lost my mama dog.and i just fell like my hole world is falling apart.all i do is cry all the time. maybe you can help me out.i fell like no one cares about me
Hi Theresa,
I watch your show and I adore you and your family, it seems you never meet a stranger and that is why you are so loved by your public.
I recently read the book “Proof of Heaven” by Neurosurgeon, Eben Alexander, which chronicles his NDE and his experiences while his spirit was out of his body. It is most thought provoking and credible as he is a very highly acclaimed educated neurosurgeon for 25 years. My fiancé is an M.D. & gave me the book after reading himself and was moved as well by this mans story.
I have applied to have a private reading with you, I know your wait list is long and I am willing to wait my turn but I do hope this will happen…. I have the means to be able to get to you on fairly short notice or meet anywhere in between as well as pay whatever your fee is. My fiance is a pilot as well so we could be there in a timely fashion.
I do believe you are helping people, changing people’s lives and possibly saving some lives as well. Losing loved ones is devastating as I’m sure you are aware, but you are such a blessing to mankind and I know you are proud to be able to provide this service. I hope you are being duly blessed and continue to be.
Regards,
Melissa Emerson
hi Theresa ,my name is Mel Flett. I’ve been married to my beautiful wife Janice Flett for a wonderful 17 years.We’ve been through so much in our lives an endured so much.We have two amazing kids,whom we love so much.Recently we lost my brother in law to some complications,and my wife is taking it very very hard.I am trying my best to comfort her,but a reading of some sort would put her pain at ease,i would hope anyway.Seeing her go through so much pain makes me sad because you don’t not like seeing your loved going through so much pain.She worries and makes her more sad cause her parents are older and sad from this tragic loss.My wife deserves so much happiness because she does so much for her parents with little acknowledgement from them.I tell her what an amazing mom and person she is for doing what she does for us and her mom and dad.My brother in law was her twin brother whom she was very close too and that makes it hard for her in my eyes.We live in a small town called Portage la Praiarie,Manitoba Canada. He had a lot of friends that cared for him,he got along with everyone he came across with.Now every time my wife sees them that makes her very sad.Please Theresa if there is anyway you can help it would be deeply appreciated.thank you so much for the things you do for others and making their lives so much better.There is so much more I can tell you about my wife and her twin brother, but there is so much more to tell.My cell phone is 1-204-871-3219 and my wife Janice’s is 1-204-871-5861,thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
I would like to make an appointment with Teresa. What would it cost for her to cone down to my house.
Plesaevlet me know

I`m so confused. I “hear” voices and I am not a schizophrenic. My mental health is fine. But I cannot decipher what these voices are saying. It`s always several at a time and I never know when it will happen and it can be very disturbing. I don`t sleep well and sometimes I will see bright “flashes” of light…..always three in a row. When I am alone the lights flicker, it never happens when someone is near me. I also feel sometimes that someone is walking toward me from the back at times. I feel the air and sense someone is there, but I don`t see anything. I also have had “visions” of supernatural things that I can`t discuss because it is so personal. My own family does not believe me and it`s frustrating. help !!
