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.”

He was and still is my life I have not felt loved like that since he left me. My mom is now gone as well for 15 yrs…. Does my dad see my son and me. Are my parents ok?
Hi Teresa, need your help to guide me how to help my grandson he is 9 years old, he has always been afraid to be alone, whether is day time or night time, I had a conversation with him, in his own words he sees people (souls), can you please tell me what can I do to help him understand why this is happening to him
Thank you
Eva Barton
please Theresa, I like hearing your show waited anxiously to see you talking to people, but I don’t know how to get back and answer you by email I forgot my email and and also the password, I send you this email but I am not an expert in e mailing or answering you back, I would like to see you in nj urgently with my loved one passed away I don’t know how to beg or request you but I highly appreciate it this will be the best gift of my life since I am not a very lucky to deserve one, I hope top see you soon or hear from you if I may be lucky I am one of your definite believer, thanks for this opportunity to write, at least I can do this much to send a message with the help of a friend since I am not an expert in computer, have a wonderful day, and may god bless you and your family.
Hi, I watch your show and believe in your gift of speaking to our loved ones that have past. I’m hoping to see if I could get you to do a reading for my older sister Lorraine. She needs some happiness in her life she has been though a lot. Her birthday is coming up on June 1st and was hoping I could get you to talk to her. Thank you, Sue
So many questions I have, am I doing the right thing. My mother passed away this pass feb. 19, 2014 just 5 days after my birthday. I can’t afford to bury her next to my Dad. She loved him so much and missed him when he died July 4 2010. I had her cremated because she didn’t have enough life insurance and I didn’t have any money to help. So she sits in my house and not in the grave with my father where she should be. If you could please help. I need to know if she is with my Father in heaven and if they are mad at me. I miss my Mom so much. She was so good to me and I am letting her down. May God bless you and keep you safe.
It does not matter where she is buried etc…..it is their souls that are united in heaven.
I just want to ask a question. …… it may seem a little weird. Do spirits of loved ones see me being intimate with my husband?
I like to know what lead up to my sons death at the hospital
Hi my name is Madison and I would it if you would come and read my grandmother she lost her parents years and years ago but they’re still apart of her so she is lost without knowing are her parents ok or still looking over her.Thank you so much
Hi , my name is Michelle Gonzalez and I would really appreciate it if you would please appreciate it if you would appreciate my best friend and her mother they lost her / son / brother as he was serving in the army , he was only 23 I know all they need is closure she tellers me everyday how her mother has lost so much weight and how she has dramas on how the rapture will come and me as her best friend some times I feel lost li know I will never have the words to tell her or her mother the words that will put them at ease so if you could suprised them I would forever be in debt thanks once again !!! Forever a believer
Theresa you are truly the real deal! I absolutely love how you do what you do. I would love to be able to get a reading from you, for myself and my husband. His mother passed away 2 years ago this coming July, rather unexpectedly. It would give his family great peace to know she is OK and no longer suffering. I also have a 4 year old daughter that has told me, on a few occasions, that she talked to Nana. I think this is very cool, but at the same time it freaks me out a little. I would love to know if my daughter really has this gift. It would be a great honor to be able to get a reading from you. Maybe next time you are in Boston, MA, we could be the lucky winner of a surprise reading!!
I had a great uncle that pasted away and I cried and cried but I feel like he is still there he drinked and never did get drunk and he didnt cuss and I need to find out if his still there and I want to tell him so thing but I can’t I know that there was a word a never did say to him and it was I love you and I realy need to tell him if I could let you tell him it would be amazing and I would know he knew that I love him dearly
