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.”

hey theresa
im 23 years old and my grandma and grandpa passed away when i was 12 my dad has always been interested in mediums and always wanted to get a reading done i would really love it if you could contact me so could set up something for my father
I saw your show for the first time this past week. You have impressed me enough to want to contact you. My friend Phyllis Patricia Macay was one of the 4 hostages killed last feb. on the sail boat the Quest, off the shores of Somalia .
Here is her web page, Here mother and I have been in contact ever since this tragedy. We lost touch for many years due to separate lifestyles. I’m in fear for her mothers remorse and condition and pain of the loss. Phyllis was my childhood friend.. If you have chance to look at here web site and feel anything that might be of importance I could speak to you to give you more information,before her mother and sister was ever approached. I have no way of how you work with your special gift, but if you feel there is something without exploitation please contact me
thank You Theresa.

Last nights episode conviced me that your gift is real. I wish I could find someone in my area that I felt was legitimate. I lost my father many years ago suddenly. I am dealing with it fine, but my son, who was 15 when he passed is still not o.k. He is 24 now and is filled with so much rage and sadness, that I am worried daily that he will do something drastic. He just became a father himself and is not coping with anything well do to not letting my dad go. I know if my son believed that his grandfather was still alive, he would behave this way, but he believes he’s just gone. I don’t know what to do. If he does not get help soon, he will lose his family and get further depressed. What you are doing for people is amazing.

Theresa,
My name is Lilly and three years ago I was witness to a horrible car accident that took the life of a beautiful mother and wife. I actually saw this woman Laura gribneau hanging from the vehicle she was riding in and her husband laid her on the ground where I knealt over and rested her head in my arms. Her eyes were openand I can remeber every detail of that horrible night. I talked to her and her husband about her children her life and that she had to hold on until help comes. This accident was on August 3 2008. In May of 2009 I was called to testify in front of a grand jury and again saw Laura’s husband there at court. After Isaw him that day I got his phone number and wanted to talk to him and see how he was doing and his children. I went to his house and we talked for a long time. I met his daughter and they showed me the beautiful gardens Laura had and we talked all about her,. When I got ready to leave (this was May 24th 2009) Laura’s husband B.J. gave me a hug on the porch and I felt this overwhelming warm sensation go through me that was so peaceful. I felt like this was the reason I witnessed that horrible accident. Up until that time I was mad at God for putting me there to see that. After that day B.J. and I started to become friends and eventually date. We did so many things together over the next two years annd I felt I was put there for a reason and that was to help him heal along with his daughter. He ended moving out of the house they shared and I helped him go through her clothes, her personal items etc. One thing at a time we did it together. I bought him a beautiful cedar chest and we kept certain things and put them in this chest. As time went on B.J. seemed to be healing and he would make progress. When I met him he had a large tatoo of her put on his chest, he still wore his weading ring and slept with her nightgown and her ashes next to his bed. Over time he moved his ring to the other hand, we took her ashes and let them go in places her and him loved and I fell deeply in love with him and his daughter Cameron. In 2008 B’J’s father was also diagnosed with Brain cancer (the exact same day as his wife was killed August 3rd 2008) on August 1st 2010 his father died. I felt like I was losing him and several other factors came in to play. The man I met so tragically now was cold and unloving. I need your help both for me and for B.J. I have since moved into my own house but we remain friends. In my heart I know he loves me but I pray every night Laura will give him some peace to move on and let him smile again. Can you PLEASE help us. Please there is more tot his tragic story and we would love to sit with you and talk.
Hi Theresa
I heard that are excellent I having looking for a person like you and I finally found one. I nwant to know about a love that that I lost a couple of years ago. I still miss him .Can you e-mail me Please I would greatly appreciate it.
Please, Please Dear Theresa,
Please contact me. My 19 year old son Christopher was the center of My universe. He was an Amazing young man. He was taken from me Sept. 20, 2009. He was brutally shot and killed. I died the day I lost him. I’ve spent the last two years waiting to die. Sometimes I smell his cologne. I know that if you take your own life that it is an unforgivable sin and I will not go to heaven or the hereafter so that I will be with him. That is the only reason I am still here! I pray for God to end my pain and suffering. My son was my life. Please Dear Lady, Please give me something to believe in. I just need to know that my beautiful baby is okay, I need to know that he’s no longer suffering and that he is happy. I need to know the purpose for my still being here. I’ve been through so much. The man that murdered my son is still a free man. I barely leave my home anymore except to go to the doctors. And to go to the cemetery. Most days I don’t even leave my bed. My son was everything that was beautiful and wonderful in my life. Please, bring me hope….
Thank you You have such an amazing gift to help others to get through their loss of a loved one. Please help me. Sincerely, Lori L. Dickel
I live in Hicksville as well and actually eat at Crossroads often – when will you be there again and I could I attend. I have several friends that would love to go as well.
Thank you – love the show!!!!
Would like to make an appointment–I miss my brother so much, we were so close, want him to know how much he is still loved (and missed here)
How can I improve my intuition abilities to help people like you do? Thank you.
Therese,
I have no family left, not a single member. I am not religious. But, a after life has nothing to do with religion. I would like nothingmore in this whole world than to have some tiny proof of an after life. Anything. Can you help me?

Dear Ms. Theresa: I am helping a friend of mine search for her biological mother that she was taken away from due to severe abuse. Her adoptive mother passed away without leaving her any information. Denise is a lovely women and has suffered tremendously that I feel in my heart you can speak to her deceased adoptive mother to find answers for her.

My brother was killed this year at the age of 16 and my 5 brothers and mom do not have any closure.
My mom is depress and needs help. My brothers and sister as well
you are a fake… you and people like john edwards prey on peoples emotions and the fact that they lost someone close to them, I to can walk into a room and ask 15 people “who lost someone that names begins with s” wll guess what out of all those poor people who are so sad someone is going to fit the bill. OR ” did you bring something from the deceased ” out of all those people more then half would bring someone. I keep me dad driver ID in my wallet all the time. ITS A WORDS GAME SHE KNOWS WHAT OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS TO ASK, THEN SHE WORKS ON THE ANSWERS YOU GIVE HER, ITS A OLD CARNIE TRICK. DON’T BE SUCKED INTO GIVING HER YOUR MONEY, ASK HER WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS AND DON’T GIVE HER ANY INFO ABOUT YOU AT ALL AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS ! NOTHING ! SHE SEES THAT SOME PEOPLE WHO LOSE SOMEONE ARE SO DESPERATE AND SAD THEY WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING AND PAY ANYTHING, SHE IS THE WORST KIND OF PERSON. CRAWL BACK UNDER YOUR ROCK……YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED !
Hi Theresa,
I’ve been watching your show, and I truly believe that you are amazing at what you do. I have been asking myself for many years if people with a gift like yours really exist. Im not sure if you will actually get to read this, since I understand how busy you are, but if u do I would love to schedule some time with you. I live in California, and willing to do anything by all means to meet you Just like everyone one else here I need your help I truly do, need closure its been many years. thanks Theresa
I don’t know why your name keeps coming to me as I grieve for my loved ones. But even as I cry and watch TV your show pops up. You must know I’m not 100% about all this. Yet, you keep coming to me. PLEASE, explain…I’m at a loss.
TERESA,
I WATCHED THE PREVIEWS OF YOUR SHOW & COULDN’T WAIT TO WATCH. MY BROTHER DIED IN 1983. HE VISITED ME TWICE, BUT HASN’T FOR MANY YEARS.

HIS PASSING HELPED BRING OUR FAMILY CLOSER, HOWEVER A PROBLEM HE HAD THAT I’M AFRAID CONTRIBUTED TO HIS PASSING, I AM NOW HAVING. I HAVE PRAYED FOR HIM TO HELP ME. I NEED TO KNOW THAT HE IS STILL THERE. I HAVE TRIED SO HARD TO BE OPEN TO HIM VISITING ME AGAIN, BUT IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 30 YEARS. GUESS I CAN WAIT ANOTHER TWO. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE ADDED TO YOUR LIST. I AM A LONG WAY FROM LONG ISLAND, BUT WOULD TRAVEL IF REQUIRED. MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE COLORADO 🙂
Although I would love to get a reading, there is someone in my life who struggles with a death in the family and needs it more than me . It is affecting their life in negative ways and I feel closure would help immensely. Thank you!
