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.”

Dear Theresa:
Here’s hoping you can help me! My brother-in-law, Michael Slivinski, died suddenly. We have not been able to locate his will. I am certain that one existed, because I signed it as a witness. However, when we started looking for it, we were not able to find it. Can you do what you do and find out where it is ??????
Your talent is remarkable! After watching your show for a while I finally welled up the courage to write you. You are truly gifted!
I lost my sister Christmas Day 2009 to cancer and my brother in July of 2003,I believe he was murdered. I an just having a very hard time since I lost my sister who felt as I do about our brother. I cry anytime I think about her. I am 59 years old you would think I wouldn’t be such a baby.I would like very much to know if the two are together and was he murdered.Is that why I can’t deal with her passing?
Hi Lisa, I see people, and or outlines of people. I dont believe I’m crazy. I know the people I have lost are with me, but I dont think it is them I see. It is them I need most as they are who I didnt get the closer with, but I can only “feel or smell them”. Am I imagining this, or am I really “sensitive”?

Theresa, My best friend had passed several years ago, and just a few months of his passing I have found out that I would be a mother, he knew how much it would mean to me if I had a child. I want to know if he sent me my angel? On a personal note: I love your show, adore your family may god bless you.
Dear Theresa, I will keep this short because I know you are over whelmed with so many people who LOVE you!
I just had surgery for lung cancer, and watching your show every week has helped me to laugh and keep a positive attitude!
I would love to have a reading with you to connect with my Dad who passed 10 years ago. I will wait 2 years if that is what it takes! Love Donna
Hi Theresa, I love your show. Thank you for sharing your gift with so many people. Their hearts are lifted after you help their loved one’s spirit come through. Your special gift has helped a lot of people. God gave you this special gift because of your compassion and love for others. How is Petey? He is very handsome. I watched the show when you had to take him to the vet because he wasn’t feeling well. I hope he is doing better. I lost my best buddy not too long ago. I am so heartbroken. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t cry for him. I wish I knew how he was feeling the last day I was with him. That day I had to make the hardest decision and I had to let him go. Did I tell him how much I loved him and how I will miss him forever. I would really like to have a reading with you, if possible. Thank you again for what you are doing. Carol Riedinger

Hi Theresa, how are you! My sister, and I would like to make an apt. with you. Please call. Thanks, Steve.
Hi Theresa,
I’ve seen your show and perhaps in many ways I feel like the thousands of ppl who have seen your show, we all want some closure. My 33yr old baby brother Gregory went missing in 2010. He had just moved to a new apartment in Jamaica, nothing came out of the boxes, his car was never found and his passport was never touched. The police think, if his body was on land they would have found it, so they suspect it was disposed of out at sea. Needless to say, my mother and I are still trying to make sense out of this. I can’t tell you how much I miss him or how this has crippled me in so many ways. I would like to know what happened but more over I would love to the person/s responsible to be caught. Most of all, I would like to know something about him. His spirit should know how much I’m suffering as not a day goes by I don’t cry. However I doubt this murder would ever be solved, this I’ve come to terms with. If there is life after death, I will see him again.
Theresa,
I am writing this for my fiance David. He lost his son years ago and his heart has not been able to mend from the loss. We go to local readers once in awhile and as much as I would hope to hear from my loved ones, I wish David’s son would come through first so he would know that heaven is a wonderful place and he son is safe. We are getting married in the Fall maybe I can get an appointment with you for his wedding gift. We watch you on tv, you seem to lift the heavy hearts of so many! You are a doll and we love watching your show Theresa. Lucinda & Dave
i watched your show [just like me] my grandson is the same as anthony! we just don’t know how to help him. he gets scared sometimes! i feel bad for him! please help!!!!!!!! from one italian to another !!!! i would very much appreciate it THANK YOU
Theresa, Is it just one language for all spirits? I’m 66 and making new moves, new plans. So where ever I am in 2013, I will fly to meet with you at your convenience. I’m presently living in E. Meadow and pray to pump into you real soon. I cried this weekend watching your show for the Love and Peace of those who visit you. Keep the movement going! Graciously, OES
I know you are very busy and i dont mean to be a bother i just wanted to know is it possible that my dad could be on the other side and know that he is my dad im 38 years old and dont know who my dad is and i just wondered if just maby he knows me if he is there my heart longs to know and it has for 33 years for anything and if you can find the time to answer this it wold mean so much to me its hard to tell anyone how bad the pain is of never having a real dad i want to think you for your show it touches me in ways words cant say God bless and thanks
Hi my hope
I hope my parents contact you and let me feel that they are with each other .
I felt bad my dad was in the hospital struggling with a massive stroke n my mom was dealing with ovarian cancer in which al of this happened with in months of each others illness I feel so quilty that he was by himself when he passed and after his passing I left my Mom byherself at night and she so wanted to not be alone I was with her when she took her last breath.
Also I lost my baby and never could have anymore n was wondering if it was a girl or boy n if Mom n Dad has met their grandchild or not .
Also if the change happenings on my grandparents farm was my Grandfather reaching us n I m so sorry for loosing the farm pls help me tk you so much n what a wonderful gift God has given you
I was just wondering, some people say that if you smell something, hear something, feel something, or see something completly out of the blue that reminds you of someone in your life that past away it means they are trying to let you know that they are there. Is this true??
I am very interested in booking an appt with you for my Mother who lost her Brother and is so distraut that she has lost all touch with happiness and any spirituality she previously had. I understand you are booked out for a while, but if I could get a future appointment I would be so happy. I watch your show all the time and just know you are the real deal! My Mom really needs this.
Thank you
Lidia
Dear Ms. Teresa C.
Can you please assist me on helping me get closure from my Grandma (Teresa C.) death. She was my world and I blame myself since her passing and I can’t move forward and its hurting my soul if I don’t get any answers. I can’t even visit her grave or think of her without crying. There so much more to say, but I am hoping you would take a moment to help me. Thank you.
Have never gotten a stright answer from anyone. On the downside of life and doubting my beliefs. Need confirmation of the “afterlife.” Can you help so I can stop being afraid.
I miss my mom so very much. I’m not married, I have no children, my brother lives in NY, and has his own family, I live in FL.she was all I had..
It has been quite a few years yet it seems like yesterday. Sincerely Connie
Good MOrning Theresa,
I need you… Bonnie
Ok so I finally posted a comment and less than 30 minutes after I am sitting at my local hangout and I keep feeling a strong male precense and am not sure what was going on but it would not go away, do I finally get the nerve and go up to this woman and ask and she did say she lost her dad and I still thought nothing more bout it until I simply asked her about the number 16 and before I asked she was already writing down the date of her dads birthday and death which were both on the 16th of if April and nov, I finally understand I have the answer from my higher power however I do think I would benefit from talking to someone who hnderstands
Hello Theresa my name is Jenny I lost my cousin Vincent in May 2003. While growing up we were so close he was like a brother to me. In May 2003 his life was suddenly taken.
