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.”

My Father, my best bud, died in 1998 of Lung Cancer.
I wasn’t doing to good at the time and unfortunately in a place where I could have lost my life and children at the time of his death, and was moved to leave this place to be informed by my brother who hasn’t been close to me since we were children. I want to know if my Father forgives me and is he watching over me as I move on in my life.
Thank you

On Sept 8 2012 I was on my way to see you in Lowell Mass. at 3pm. There were hundreds of people entering the building. I was on crutches and was moving slowly. As I was entering the building, I heard my name called and turned around to see dear childhood friends whom I’ve known for over 40 years and hadn’t seen in a few years. After our hellos and hugs, one of them turned to me and said “you heard about Joe?” Joe was my first crush and the first boy I ever fell in love with and we remained friends for all these years. I was in love with him but never told him. I wanted to scream with grief, but my friends tried to comfort me, unsuccessfully. I had difficulty concentrating on your show Theresa because I felt so guilty about not seeing him or calling on him to see how he was. I was told he was asking for me before he died. I feel that he wanted to tell me something…I don’t know why, I am filled with guilt, but my daughter said to me “mom even though we didn’t get a reading, you know Joe was responsible for you seeing your friends out of hundreds of people and wanted you to know he passed. The strangest thing was that out of the thousand plus people that were there…my friends were 2 rows in front of me in row R (their name is Ragucci) I was in row T (my name is Theresa)! Was it truly just a coincidence or did Joe’s spirit come to me? I know the odds of a reply are slim to none, but maybe Joe will help me there too..lol.Thanks for listening…

Hi.
My name is Heather, and I am 41yrs old.
Since I was a little girl, I have had encounters with paranormal activity. As I have gotten older, I have had premonitions, and dreams that have made me question my abilities.
I would like to know how to use my abilities to their fullest extent, just so I can become more comfortable with my ability, and understand it.
I also would like to know about my past life.
My dreams are always in the Victorian Era, and always about old homes, and people/spirits occupying them.
I also have reoccuring dreams (since my childhood), about being able to breathe underwater, and not drown, flying, falling off of high places, and never hitting bottom, just going right back to the top.
I also have encounters with a dark shadow of a person standing in a certain spot, for periods at a time, when bad things are going to happen.
I need a better understand of all of this.
I also had a great grandfather who died years ago. There are rumors that he was murdered. Would love to be able to know for sure.
Would love to hear from you.
my brother killed his wife of 25yrs and then hung himself. my poor father found them. we were across the street at my parents house when this happened. i need to know that my sister inlaw is ok and my brother made it in heaven because of what he did i don’t know if he made it in. this is killing me inside every day not knowing if he’s alright or not. that’s all i need to know and i won’t bug you anymore.
I would like to contact my father. He died 40 yrs. ago and I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to him.i HAD A VISION OF HIM WHEN I GAVE BIRTH TO MY GIRST CHILD- A SON PLEASE REPLY-
I would like to know how to have a reading with Theresa,
Hello Theresa i just love and believe what you do, need to know if my dad who died seven years ago ( Maurice Valois) is around me and if he knows how much I miss and love him, and that I would have done anything for him. And that I sometimes eat his favorite desserts to let him know how much I miss him. If you could respond to my question it would mean the world to me I know that what you do is completely true. Thank you much god bless you , you don’t believe how much this means to me.
Dear theresa, My brother just passed away 3 years ago and our dad 40 years ago. What I need to know is, I keep getting terrible chest pains and I don’t know if it is my heart. Could you ask my daddy or brother. I wish you lived closer than you do. God bless you and yours.

I lost my ex-husband 16 months after a divorce. Neither of us wanted the divorce but felt it was best. I do not believe how I was told he died. I need the truth. I have carried this belief and burden since Oct. 4, 1975. I an desperate for answers. I live in Jacksonville, Florida and could never travel to Long Island.
How can I get on the wait list for an appointment? Thank you
