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.”

Good Morning Theresa,
I have been glued to watching your show in hopes that I would have a connection to my Dad who passed away 9/15/11. I have not stopped crying since he passed and sometimes I feel that I can’t move passed his passing. He had brain surgery January 2011 and went nine months being in rehabs, hospital, then home and back to the hospital for the last time. I was the only one with my Dad when he suffered a major stroke 9/11/11 which I think has had a bad effect on me. I so want to meet you so that I could have a better feeling about where my Dad is now. You certainly do have the greatest gift. Thanks so much for your shows it brings a little comfort knowing that you can give someone peace of mind.
Sincerely,
Denise

Dear Theresa,
Hi my name is Lupe Romero.We love wacthing your show sometimes it makes up cry (That’s mainly every show :D).You are just amazing with your Gift.I’m are here writting you this who letter to help us.On August.25,2008 I not only lost a husband but we lost a loving father to 3 kids,a brother to 9 kids, and a son to a loving,widowed mother.It brings me in tears to write to you but we have to know.We have to know if he’s okay,if he was in pain, and if we, his family were in his thoughts before he was murdered.We couldn’t belive that we had lost him.I was in tears, my kids were in tears.I somes feel guilty because i didn’t see him and i don’t want to carry this guilt with me anymore. I feel terrible that I didn’t see him. I need to know if he can forgive me.
Hi Theresa,
I’m Shelby Romero.My mom is the on top.Now I’m here writting you this letter to know if my dad thought of us before he was murdered.I just miss him so much and i cried everyday after we found out.I remeber his last words “I love you mija(daughter)” those were the last words he told me.I just miss him soo much.He’s never going to be there to watch me go to prom,he’s not going to walk me graduate,he’s not going to walk me down the aisle,and he’s not going to see his grandkids. He always used to say “Don’t worry be happy” and i miss him saying that.I miss his voice,his laugh,his warm hugs,him telling me “i love you”. I was the one who had the hardest time because I was very close to him.Everywhere he went I went.We were like connected.Once he passed I was lost,angry,upset,and especially lonley.I had no one to talk to.I only knew him for 8 years, can you imaging just knowing your own dad for 8 years.My sister knew him 15 years, and my brother knew him for 17 years.And my mother knew him for the longest time.And it breaks my heart because I look so much like him.And when any of my uncles or aunts from my dads side look at me and see him.They sometimes cry.So does my mom.I know these letters are long but we have to know. Please help us we need closure.

Hi,
I have always felt different and distant from many! My wall has been up when it comes to people and life in general and many have seen it. Don’t let many in and it all stems from two decisions that i made in life that cost a part of my heart and soul. Lost two precision angels by my own doing…Hold alot of regret and run myself over a grate for it. Don’t feel like i could love like i should and can until i somehow get confirmation that my children are ok. I was 19 at the time and now 37. My lost resulted from bad choices and letting others dictate to me what i should do. Vunerable and low selfesteem set me in a motion of a HEAVY HEART with so much to give but my wall is thick and needs to be knocked down..what are your fees and would REALLY APPRECIATE help moving forward…Thank you
I need some answers from family members that have past on. Am I wrong in feeling that I was not appreciated by them. I have lived through many years with feelings that I disappointed them. I don’t know how to get out of this “”blue funk”” I’ve been in. I love my family an d I have always tried to be someone they could be proud of. I don’t try to hurt or malign anyone. Please if you can help me do so. I’m very poor, disabled and in need of comfort. If anyone could bring this to me it would be you. Thanks for listening. I love you and the work you do.
You don’t have to answer…you are too busy…sometimes just writing down helps..maybe God will see

Hi, don’t know how to go about this as it is for my boyfriend Ian, that I’ve been with for 8 yrs now. He lost his mother when he was 21 He was very close to her & had great admiration for her* He’s now 45. She *Anna Adamson* died on the altar at her church giving a prayer *she had an aneurysm. This was one of the rare times he was not there at the church. He is devastated & feels great guilt He gave the eulogy, on that same altar at her funeral. He’s a religion teacher now & never stops asking if she’d be proud of him it’s never ending because of the guilt He’s such a good man I’d love some way he could have some peace . Thanking you in advance for reading this. I would be a grate full if you could pass this on to Theresa
I lost my best friend,my mother on 12/27/2007 to cancer. It was sudden and I took time off work to be with her and care for her. I would love to know she is at peace. And that she knows her sister( the evil twin) treats me and my brother terribly. My mother asked us to take care of her sis once she passed. Its hard cause she is really mean and tries to keep our family distant. I don’t know what to do. I need to know what mom would want us to do. I need her to know I found the love of my life. And I finally found healing and happiness. I love you mom. I miss you. I would like to connect with my mom. Could you please help me Mrs. Theresa. I watch you show. I know to many you help and bring closure. Please help me… Crystal 10/9/2012

Hi Theresa, thank you very much for sharing your wonderful gift with us. I was just wondering if you could tell me who my spirt guide is. I believe it is my Daddy, but I am not sure. Also, I had a Buddist Monk, tell me I am the oldest, living woman on earth. I have lived in a house that was a port hole for the dead and new that it was sacared land of the Serum People. I told my daughters, while living there, that the Native American people, who once lived there, were only four feet tall and were all left handed.(Please, I am not crazy) and I walked up a wash one day and a Mesquite Tree vibrated so hard that it scared me. A couple of years later, my youngest daughter, Kylee, was writing a paper for History class and asked me to find her a book on Focloure. I found a book writen by a mother and daughter that discribed desert, forest, moutians, etc., Miths and Focloure. Of couse, living in the Senoran Desert I went to this section of the book first. I could not believe what I was reading: First paragraph, The Serum People who were no more than three feet high…….the second paragraph, worshiped a tree that fibrated that spoke to a woman of clairvoyance. She was called a Seatacka, she could understand what the sacared tree was saying and would tell the Serum People what it was saying. I believe, the land on which this house sits, is on sacaret land. This house Theresa, was so haunted that all the showes I see on TV do not hold a candle to this place. I lived there for about six months. I could not believe that what I had told my daughters about this property, I had found confirmation in a book, years later. The last name of the mother and daughter who wrote this book is, Clark. Who am I Theresa and have I been reincarnated so many times that the spirts of the Serum People believed I was their Seataka that they reviled themselves to me. Can you help me? Thank you very much for reading and considering me for comment. Very truly yours,
Kandace Pashby
