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. I just saw you on the Dr.Oz’s show. I have had many tragidies in my family. My brother drowned at 5yrs.old, My father and husband died w/in 6 months of each other, then my sister dies. I have a 1/2 stepbrother & sister that I don’t see.
I want to tell you about my husband,(he died at least 25 yrs ago) who was killed by a drunk driver @38yrs.old, after my fathers death. My husband used to tell us (me and our 2 daughters, how he was going to die that he saw it in his dreams all the years we were married and knew how he was going to be killed (in a car) I also had dreams of seeing the Virgin Mary comforting me and used to cry in my sleep. The moment he was killed, I knew and sat up in bed.(it was a Friday night and he was out with the guys for a beer and in crossing the street going to his car, he was killed outright by a drunk driver).I worked for the District Court in our town and knew all the police, who never called me. I had a nurse from a hospital call me to tell me my husband was dead, told her she was crazy & she told me she had his wallet. It was a virtual nightmare. I asked God to let me see him one last time to let me know he was okay. (Which he did)What I want is to know if all my family is okay. I do feel their presence. At night when I’m sleeping, I sometimes feel that someone is laying beside me, who would that be. I still think of my husband often. I remarried and my 2nd husband died of a Massive heart attack and that’s another story. My 3rd husband I divorced. I was unaware he was a con-artist at the time and used all my retirement money, savings etc.to start a business which I supported. I was so nieve. I thought we would have a great life. He was also verbally abusive, and more. Why has my life changed so drastically. I used to blame God for their deaths, but I know it’s not true. I now have a boyfriend and am also wondering what my future would be with him. I believe that God keeps leading me down a new path each time I have a tragidy in my life.I’m still working because all my funds are gone and it’s been tough. I’m 72 yrs.old.
I need some closure to the past and can you see a future? I would be eternally grateful to speak with you and help me in any way you can. Thank you, Pearl Travis

Theresa,
I had two great losses within a short period of time.
I need to find some peace in my heart and comfort. I need some answeres that I don,t know if even you can answere but I need to try. If anything could help lessen the sadness and pain a comfirmation will not take it away but it would help. If a private reading can be arranged it would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if u were going to come closer to Turlock,CA any time?
Missed a part in the first message which was not too clear Theresa. Sorry about that. It pertained to the passing part of the message. I meant that,” I missed the passing of my Mother and two sisters due to various reasons that were beyond control. Please contact me if possible. Mom lived to 101. Dominick
I’m 83, lived in Centereach, L.I. in my teenage years and the passing of my Mother and two sisters for various reasons. I want to know if they are angry at me for my missing them. It could’nt be helped, in the hospital when mom (Catherina) passed. I live in Spring, Texas now and would love to see you. Can this be done somehow? RSVP Dominick
I’m interested in a small group session with you at my home in Edison,NJ. In the past 2 years, our family has lost 3 people and need to know they are ok. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Mrs. Caputo
I just love your show. My hubby is sceptic of you but not me.. It is to bad that you are in the State, I am in Ontario Canada. I have never been to a spsykic but I am sure you are the best.

And I will just continu wishing that one day I will have a chance to meet you (but verry dought it).. Maybe in my sleep I will get a chance to meet you.. Well I will let you go and just wanted to let you know that you are watch from far. You have a fan from Ontario..lol , Sonia
Hi Theresa, My name is Yesi Ronquillo and i’ve been watching your show and it really hits home because i commented 3 huge sins in my youth. God already forgiving me but i still need some closer. I pray to God you can give me your time to help me heal and go on with my life in peace.
I would love to get a one-on-one reading with you. Could you please call me to let me know when you would be available for an appointment. I would fly to NY if I have to. I see that you are in Charlotte, NC on Oct 24. Are you taking any individual appointments while you are here? Is so, please contact me.Thank you so much and I hope I hear from you. Sincerely, Dianne Massey
