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 my name is Sadie Douglas I have kind of a weird question for you. I live in Texas and there is a room in my house that we believe is being haunted by a family member who has passed. We believe they are trying to send us a message but we can not figure out what it is. I was hoping you could possibly help, I know it’s a lot to ask of you to come all the way to Texas but you are the only person I can think of that could maybe help. Thank you for taking the time to read this I am a big fan I watch your show every day.
Hey Theresa,
My name is Britton and I’m 11 years old. I have been watching some of your episodes lately and they’re so amazing! I have had many family members pass on in my life and was wondering if you could come read my family and I! I completely understand if you’re unable to because we live all the way in South Carolina. But, if you can, let me know!!!
THANKS,
Britton Smith

Teresa,
We need your help. …
Hi Teresa I have a boy friend that had a his dad pass away when he was a lil boy I would like to know how to come and see you or for you to come see him and help him with this
Hello Teresa,
I just watched a couple of your sessions and I must say I was amazed, you brought tears to my eyes & chills all over. What a Big Gift from God you have.
I would love to have a session with you regarding my son’s father. He past away 8 yrs ago when my son was only 6 months old. My son constantly ask for him. I’ve tried explaining to him in so many diffrent ways that his daddy is no longer here, but it seems i can’t get through him. It breaks my heart when my son says he wants to go with his daddy. I wish and hope you can help me to give my son a little happiness.
Hi Teresa, I did try to post on 3-17-14 I don’t know if you had gotten it so I would like to post it again. I have a boyfriend, and his wife died almost 8 years ago. He still has all of her stuff including most of her clothes. And his house is haunted. I have witnessed it. I don’t know if it is his wife, but I know he hasn’t gotten past her dying. I want to know if there is anyway for him to talk to her, and maybe he could get past her. Marc and I can’t move forward if he can’t get past her.
Dearest Teresa: My name is Margaret and I live in Canada. I’m desperately seeking your help, for not a reading, but to help my sister Deborah, will her abilities as a medium, she is good and accurate, but too many things are in her way, fear, confidence and a sense of peace. Her home life is not good lots of comfusion, she has spirits not only come to her but speak to her. She recently was able to see her friends daughter commit suicide and feel her presence at that exact moment when she passed. When this girls mother came to see my sister Deborah, without saying anything, Deb was able to see, how she hung herself, and how she was facing and who had found her. My sister has been able to see all these things, but she is so terrified, that it stops her from, using this God given talent to help others. I used to have this ability, but only get it in small spurts. This does run in our family, but it’s been the strongest with my sister. Can you please help her or find someone, who can help others with this precious gift. I tried to help with my spiritual beliefs, but she needs some help and guidance. Thanks for listening Teresa, Your show is amazing, even I don’t have a dry eye when you help others. You are a Blessing and an awesome person. Luv Margaret

ILove your show, I wasnt a believer before I started watching your show. You show the people you read that you do care. That means so much. I Lost my sister in june of 2011, my mom in july of 2012, and my brother in nov 2013. I took care of my mom before she left and took care of my brother for 20 years. My sister left us suddenly and I FEEL SO LOST WITHOUT HER, WE WERE REALLY CLOSE. My mom moved in with me about a year and half before she left us. She left us here in my home. I tried so hard to take care of my brother . But I FEEL I didnt do enough to help him. I only have one brother left and we dont see each other much. I MISS MY FAMILY SO MUCH i havent found closer with them and I DONT KNOW HOW TO. I desperatly need some closer to try and go on without them. may god bless you. I will continue always to watch your show. Oh by the way I love the new dew you have chosen on your new season.
hi! I watch your show all the time and so does my mom. we have some family things going on right now and I have had a best friend that past away when he was 20. but there is something else that keeps coming to my mom in her dreams about an aunt that died of breast cancer. and her husband which is my moms brother. my mom has been having dreams about his past wife and so have I and I want to know if maybe there could be some answers as to why or what she might have to say.
I love the show and will continue to watch. What happen to the other sight for free win. I find it harder to get in for the free reading during the show.
do you have to tweet to get a reading. How can some of the others she reads get in again after 6 months or after a year . I know others have a hard time also to enter and win.

I hope maybe you could find it in your Heart to give a country girl a reading here in Ky. You are Awesome and a very lovely and caring lady and I haven’t even met you.. I love your SHOW!!!
Hello Theresa! I need you to help me. I’m 20 years old and lost my mother 10 years ago and my grandmother 4 years ago. I need your help to understand. I have a son and I want to make sure they are with him and watch over him as he grows up. I need your help to understand why this happened and why they left. I don’t see signs and don’t have the feeling that they are with me and I need to know if they are watching over us and our family. Please help me understand and lift this weight and pain off my shoulders!! thank you so much! -Kassi
