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, my dad past 7-13-11. Every time I watch the show, I feel closer to him. I cry and feel his presents around me. I have a lot of unanswered questions about myself actually. I’m not sure if you really read these comments or not. But I feel you may have some answers to my unanswered questions… If you do read these, please contact me! Thanks for everything! 🙂

Dear Theresa,
I have watched your show a few times & admired how you connect people with their loved ones who have answered their call. I live in upstate NY and wonder if I can possibly meet you regarding one my deceased lover.
Your assistance is most appreciated; I understand you currently on tour & I may have to wait a while if I’m lucky
Kindest regards,
Hey Theresa,
I am not writing for myself but for my mother. My mother is a very special woman. We both have energies and feel people we have passed but don’t really know how to explain it (hoping you can shed light on that). My mother and I were watching your show at the same time, unknowingly the other was watching, and once we turned it off we both felt my grandmother Blima, my mother’s mother’s presence. After, that I knew I had to contact you. My grandmother had Alzehiemer for 13 years before she passed 3 ½ years ago. During the years my grandmother had Alzehiemers my mother cooked and took care of her. I know my mother would love to hear from her mother. Another I want this for my mom is that her and her brother have not spoken in thirteen years. I want my grandmother to help. Please I know you have so much on your plate and so many other people who need you but I am asking you as a daughter to please help my mom heal! I am begging you to please Help. We live In NJ so travelling is not an issue.
Thank you so much for all that you do!

Hi Theresa,
I have been living in 7 years of pain and in severe depression ever since the sudden loss of my mother, Cynthia Brannon. She passed away March 7th of 2007 and I never had a chance to say goodbye or kiss her one last time- I was off at my first year of college at the University of Hawaii at Manoa which had to have been over 2000 miles away. I will never forget that morning my little brother called me screaming in pain and shock and I was in severe shock as soon as I heard the words “mom’s dead!” I was 18 at the time and she was my sole support and love in life- she was my best friend and my guardian angel- I could never picture life without her and I remember feeling half of my soul lift out of my body the night before her viewing and ever since then- I cannot function properly in life. It kills me because there have so many moments in my life when I have desperately needed her love and support and my heart will not properly heal. The only healing that has truly filled part of this loss was the day my daughter, Briella was born which was 2 years ago. I need to hear from her and I need to know what happened that caused this sudden death- she was very sick but this death was unexpected and it has put such a burden and darkness in my soul- I miss her more than anything in this world and I wish I could move on with my life knowing that she is better and that she will always be with me but at times it is hard to believe. I have gone through so much in my life so far and I have made mistakes and changes that I am unsure that fit my mother’s approval and blessing. I fear that my future is going to be very difficult and my confidence has disappeared slowly over the years since her passing. I have never felt such loneliness in my life and I do not know if this makes any sense but I feel as if my “spiritual health” is at stake and it has been affecting every part of my life. I want to be a happier person so I can give my new daughter all the love my mother gave me. My mother was a perfect mom- she gave me more than enough love than anyone could ever dream of. She supported me and my education- she pushed me to fulfill my dreams but ever since she left- my drive for goals and the passion I used to have with school and taking care of myself has disappeared. I had to see an on campus therapist to try and deal with the grief and I was suffering from terrible anxiety attacks because I was not able to handle my responsibilities and accepting that I had to follow through with my future alone. This caused me to make mistakes and go in and out of school- my grades suffered and my choices in life- I did end up marrying a wonderfull guy that I am currently married to, whom I moved to Nashville, TN where I currently live and we have been together for 5 years now- we have a beautiful daughter whom I love and cherish more than anything but this grief that is hovering over me will not leave and I need to either speak with her one last time or hear from her- there is so much I want to say and feel from her but it has been impossible for to meditate and focus. I need you to help me more than all of the love in the world- I want to hear from my mother once and for all. I swear I have felt her around at times but was unsure and scared- I thought she has been trying to get my attention in our apartment numerous times- someone is following me or something because I have had lights go on andoff randomly, things move across tables my kitchen sink turning on and off as welll as dishes moving! I swear all of this on my life and no one believes me or will try to help me- I have had dreams about my mother but almost all the times she has been in my dream- she hardly talks to me or she seems sad and dissappointed. I need proper closure and I want to feel loved again at least for one last time- besides my daughter- she was the last and most positive part of my life. I have not quit school just yet but I have had many emotional obstacles in the way of my dreams and I am trying to at least become a nurse – my main goal is to become a doctor one day so I can help save lives in honor of my mother.
Sincerely,
Arielle Brannon
Hi Theresa, My name is Dianna. Tomorrow will be 4 years that I have lost my”SPECIAL” sister.This year I have lost my step sister and 2 of my step brothers all from sickness. My heart is so heavy, before the passing of my “SPECIAL” sister I lost my father and my oldest brother. I was there when my sister took her last breath and before that she was trying to tell me something. There is not a day that goes by I don’t think about her or what she was trying to say to me. I know she wasn’t ready to leave us but I know for sure that She was at peace with God. She had so much going for herself, she was the light of our family. She did most of the family plannings and I would ask herr approval for just about everything. I know that she is in a better place and she have father, sister and brothers there with her but I love and miss her so much and I want to conect with her one more time because there is so much going one in my life and I know she have the answers I need. I am not looking for anything free but I don’t have much money but I NEED help or should I say peace.
Thanking you in advance
Dianna Oliver

Theresa, I have been told that I have ghosts that follow me but I’m not sure what they are…I’m not sure if it’s someone or something trying to reach me from the other side. I can hear TV’s when there aren’t any playing, I can hear people talking when there isn’t anyone around and in my last house, I had what we called a ghost slam doors, shut the garbage can cover and I could hear people talking when I was home alone. I recently moved to my mothers house and now her living room lights come on when she walks by…it never happened before I lived there so my mother says I brought my ghost with me! I know I’m not crazy…is there someone trying to reach out to me?
Please help Theresa…I just want my normal life back! I also wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your show and believe in ‘the other side’. I think what you do for other people is such a gift and you are helping so many people and for that, we thank you!
Sincerely,
Ann Marie Peterson

hi, i’m emily. i’m 14 years old. i lost my mom when i was 4 years old from breast cancer. it’s been really hard without her lately because i’m getting older & actually realizing that it’s getting more challenging without her here with me. i feel things would be really different with her here & i just need to hear from her. no one understands how hard it’s been lately. i would like to know if my mom knows what’s going on at home right now with my family. i know you’re really busy with your own family & other people but it’d mean the world to me if you would simply just reply.
