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 am from Brooklyn but live in Los Angeles. I have only one brother and niece left in my family alive and they live in Japan. I have lost my parents, grandparents, husband, 22 year old cat, my brother Jeff. i have no kids. I think anyone who knew me would say that you remind them of me, and vice versa. I would be willing to come back to New York to see you. I don’t really know how my husband died. Sometimes all these losses just stop me in my track and the pain becomes overwhelming. If you have any availability, please let me know. In the meantime, I’ll keep watching. It gives me hope and bolsters my faith. With appreciation, thank you.
I love your show you are so great and i know that what you do is real i feel it i wish that i could do what you do. Because i have lost my Grandma and Mom and i feel like i can’t go on with out them even thou it has been 4 and 3 years since they have been gone i still cry almost every day. Because I don’t feel like my mom loved me and found out after she died that my sister and brother are only my half sister and brother and they can’t find there dad’s because they don’t know any thing about them no names or any thing. So i hope one day to meet you and that you will be able to help me have a great day Kim
Hello Theresa:
I love your show and am just amazed at your 6th sense which allows you to communicate with spirits. Just fascinating!!
I would love to make an appointment with you to hear what my dad has to say about the situation with me and my mother. I have been taking care of my mother for the past 20 years since he died of lung cancer. My mother has some mental health issues and now has quite severe dementia, now coupled with some health issues. I have had to make tough decisions and ALL the decisions for her regarding her health, her caretaking, everything. I only have one sister that is just finally starting to help me. I know my dad would not be pleased with me giving up so much of my life to care for her and he would greatly disappointed in his other 4 living children for not having seen their mother or done anything to help her. I want to know if dad still loves mom despite all their hardships. I know he loves me but he didn’t tell me that until he was literally on his death bed, so that would be nice to know.
Also, would love to hear from my sister Mary. She died at the age of 39. She committed suicide after having a very long drug problem. It was so sad and I cannot overcome the guilt. I was a bully to her growing up. I feel awful that she got such mixed messages from my mom and dad. Many inconsistencies. Mary felt she could never measure up with a hyper critical mother and other issues. I hope she can forgive me for being such a brat. We had a fairly dysfunctional family, but that is not an excuse. I was just trying to get some very needed attention from my parents which was hard to do.
I would love to know about our best friend’s son who committed suicide 4 years ago. He was in a drunken rage and will never know if he planned it or it was just a moment of insanity. He had a good life as a new police officer, a girlfriend he adored and planned to marry. There were no signs other than his risk factors of heavy drinking and ADD. It devastated his father. I would just love to be able to tell dad if he is at peace.
That’s it! Please let me know when you can see me, even if it is two years away.
Sincerely,
Sara Sessions
Hi..i have had many losses and a very difficult life. This all began when i decided to leave home away from the negativity. My life is very scattered. I will not go into detail because i see how busy you are and i do not want to push the issue. I understand you are very busy and appreciate what you do.
Theresa,
I know your so busy with your life and your business. I’m sitting here watching the show and I was given the urge to do a google search on you and I found this forum. My husband and I have had great lose. We lost 3 of our parents a year a part. We have lost both our parent and i have lost a brother. I feel uneasy with no closure. To be honest I don’t know why i’m writing. I just wanted to get your take on things if any. I understand if your to busy to get back with me. I want you to know I enjoy your show..
Sheila
I just wanted to say thank you! Your show opened many peoples minds to the paranormal. I’ve had my brushes with the other side and felt I couldn’t share those with anyone for fear they would just assume I was making it up to get attention. My childhood, and current, home is over a 130 years old and use to be a mental institution. I was about four when I saw my first spirit and my mom thought I had an imaginary friend that I would play with. There was also a dream about 9/11 the night before but once again, i thought who would believe me? You make it possible for people who are different to know that we are not alone and we are not crazy. Thank you for my sanity!

Hello Theresa, I truly need a reading from you. My dad passed away on the 26th of March 2011. I am so devastated over his death that I can’t pull myself together. I lay in bed crying all day long. I did not get a chance to see him before he passed. Please let me know what I need to do and where I will need to go to meet with you. I live near Columbia South Carolina. I am a 46 year old mother and wife. Please help me. I cannot go on any longer like this and in this kind of grueling pain. Thank you so much. Be blessed and highly favored. Yours truly, Tricia
Dear Teresa,
In 1995, I found a cervical mass on a co-worker of mine. She was very young in her mid 20s. She lived 51 weeks to the day. I know she is with me all the time. She (Joy) is my guardian angel. I have lived with guilt for so many, many years. Please help me resolve her death. I know she is here with me. When things are tough. I hear the song “Because You Loved Me” on the radio. She ALWAYS lets me know when I am down that she is with me…………. PLEASE HELP ME.
I know Joy is with me but I need some resolve.
Sincerely
Anne Fulcher

Theresa I love your show. You are an amazing gift from God !!! I hope all these people get help in some way or another and give Him glory!!!
I enjoy your show very much.
I’m very interested in the supernatural; not the occult though since there’s a thin line between them.
I’ve had quite a few strange supernatural things happen to me; all different though.
If I ever get a chance to meet you I would like to know about my deceased husband, mother and father.
God bless.
Donna Kessler
