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’m from Ottawa Ontario Canada. I watch your program on tv.I would like to have a reading. I’m a widow on long term disability and the family is going through a hard time health wise. I find it really hard to cope with all that.
Hope to hear from you.
My 56 year old brother died last week. We are waiting on his autopsy, it could take 2 months. Why did he leave his deaf and autistic son who is 24. He now lives a wonderful home in Chicago, I will now become his guardin
Theresa, First of all your show yesterday at the Tropicana was fabulous because I was at the 3 p.m. show and I gave a note to your husband Larry to give to you. Since my father has passed away May of 2012 whom was my Rock it is very hard since I am an only child and my Mom had a stroke years ago and I take care of her at home because my father never wanted my Mom to go in a nursing home. After my father passed away we did not leave our home for over 2 months just getting up was hard because I felt like I don’t know how to deal with this let alone what do I say to my Mom? My Mom has Biopolar so loosing a loved one is hard enough for someone without the disease butt compound my Mom’s age, with her having a stroke and with her having Biopolar sometimes I wonder if I will ever be bubbly Rene’e again or if I will have get Peace of Mind for my Mom? If anyone can help us I know it is Theresa so I hope the spirits come to Theresa and tell her how much we need to hear from her! Rene’e from McAdoo, PA.

Hi Theresa I’m from Toronto Canada. I’m not looking for a reading but I just wanted to say you have put my faith back in the spiritual world. I’m Catholic like yourself and have been brought up to beleive you do not disturbe the dead. What you do to bring peace to people is truely beautiful, and you have renewed my faith in when we pass on there is another side. I’ve alway’s been scared that when I pass then it will be total darkness or wouldn’t know I’ve passed, and scared I wouldn’t be able to watch my daughter grow, you have renewed my faith how you pin point certain details that you would never know but the person receiving the reading can relate. I’ve been told by psyicic’s (spelling mistake lol) that why are you here you can do this yourself. Also I have alway’s been sensitive to spirits but not on your level. I would love to meet you sometime and feel your energy, I know it would be spiritual and positive. So I’m hoping oneday I can come to New Jersey. Till then God Bless you for all your wonderful and truthful work in the name of God.. Take care and God Bless you and your family..
Hi Theresa,
I first saw you on the Dr. Oz show and ever since I have been trying to win a reading from you. I am 20 years old and have just lost my mom in February of this year at the age of 45. My sisters and I are struggling beyond belief because everything happened so fast that even now we can not process it all. And 4 years ago this month I lost my best friend in a tragic way that also happened so fast. I am just hopeing I can win a reading with you because our lives are turned upside down and getting some answers or just know they are ok would help more than anything. Thank you for you time.
THERESA, I NEED YOU. MY DADDY DIED IN 1966,(i WAS 16 YEARS OLD), I HAD NO SAY IN WHERE HE WAS BURIED, MY OLDER BROTHER AND MY MOTHER MADE ALL THE DECISIONS. I AM FROM ILLINOIS, AND AFTER DADDY DIED, MOM DECIDED THAT WE SHOULD COME BACK TO HER HOMETOWN OF WOODSTOCK, IL. I WAS ENROLLED IN THE WOODSTOCK HIGH SCHOOL AND GRADUATED IN 1968. SINCE MY DADDY WAS BURIED IN THE ORLANDO, FLA, CEMETARY, I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE HIS BODY EXHUMED AND BROUGHT UP TO WOODSTOCK, IL. IN THE PAST 10 YEARS I HAVE LOST MY BROTHER AND MY MOTHER. I AM THE ONLY ONE LEFT. THE COST OF BRINGING DADDY UP TO WOODSTOCK IS VERY HIGH, I CAN NOT AFFORD IT, EVEN THO I DO HAVE A GRAVE IN THE FAMILY PLOT FOR HIM. MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE BURIED IN THIS FAMILY PLOT………..YES, I WOULD LOVE FOR DADDY TO BE HERE ALSO. HE HELD SWIMMING RECORDS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AT WOODSTOCK HIGH SCHOOL………I NEVER FELT THAT I MEASURED UP. I NEVER LEARNED TO SWIM…………SO MANY PEOPLE TRIED TO TEACH ME, BUT, AT THE AGE OF 62, I STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM. THESE WERE THE LAST WORDS MY DADDY SAID TO ME: ” HAVE YOU LEARNED HOW TO SWIM YET?” I HAVE LOTS OF UNRESOLVED ISSUES WITH MY DADDY. HE HAD PROMISED THAT WE WOULD STAY IN IOWA TILL I GRADUATED, BUT THEN HE GOT SICK AND WE MOVED TO FLORIDA. I WAS SO MAD AT HIM…………. HE HAD PROMISED. HE HAD BEEN A SALESMAN PRIOR AND WE MOVED OFTEN WHEN I WAS GROWING UP……. I WANTED “ROOTS” SOMEWHERE. BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE HE GOT SICK. I NEED TO KNOW THAT HE ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT I COULD NEVER LEARN TO SWIM……..AND THAT I DID MEASURE UP TO HIS EXPECTATIONS AS A DAUGHTER. I SO WISH THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THE BIRTHS OF MY 4 CHILDREN. AND MY 7 GRANDCHILDREN………… THEY ARE ALL SO FABULOUS. I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT MY DADDY KNOWS ABOUT ALL OF THEM. I LOVED MY DADDY SO MUCH.
do you read people the are not rich?
Hello Theresa,my father-in-law and myself were watching your show and after being a sceptic for his whole life you have made a believer out of him. Roughly 25 years ago he lost his brother in an accident and not a day goes by that he does not speek of his brother and wonder just exactly what happened, and after watching your show he has made several comments about how he would love to talk to you and see if he could possibly get some closure on this matter. It would mean a great deal to him if you could possibly find the time to give him a moment of your time to help him with this. We understand that you are an extremely busy lady but a few minuetes of your time could possibly change his life. My name is Kevin and you can contact me thank you for your time.
REGARDS
KEVIN
PS. I also have a 6 year old son that you may could have some very interesting conversations with.
Dear Theresa,My father passed quite a few years ago.I’m not actually sure of the date or year.But the month was October.I loved my father dearly & miss him so much it still hurts.My father was ill & I moved from Indiana back to Ohio to take care of him.I left 1 weekend to go visit friends.That Sunday before I left to come home my sister called me & told me that they had found him dead.This has been a guilt of mine for years.I feel that if I had not left that weekend he would have not died.I never got to see him again.I was told he was found in the bathtub with his hair perfectly combed etc.But there was no water in the tub.I would love for you to help me.I am a 2 time cancer surivor & I would truly love to know what happened if possible.My father was a fighter & I see no reason for his passing unless it was neglect on my sisters part.Please help me.Before it’s to late for me to know.
Theresa,
There is a beautiful lung lady named Carlie Ann Deilke. She passed away 12/2/2011. She was such an important part in our community that words can’t even describe her. Carlie died in a car accident and died instantly on impact. Carlie always wore her seat belt, but according to the police report she was not at the time she died. She was on a dirt road and a farmer was digging in the ditch illegally, and was the cause of her death. Carlie was one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Many other people feel the same way. Her funeral packed an entire church, and this church was big. Many people left school to come to her funeral. There was even an article in our news paper about her. There are so mamy things to say about her and the people she has impacted that i could go on for day. I know you have so many request and a long long list, but this is a big one. 200+ people were at her funeral. Many people need your help and need to her from her just to know if she really wasnt wearing her seat belt and to know that is ok, and so many other things. So please theresa help us out and do a reading for us. We all need to heal and i know this is what you do the reading for specificually. Many people would greatly benifit from this, do please help us out and put us on your short list.
God bless,
Courtney

Hi Theresa, I know you are getting a lot of these kind of requests, I wish I could get a reading from you. I lost my father a few years ago and on the same date but different month lost a very good friend. Both are missed extremely much. My heart has a huge hole in it even more now. Can you please put me on your list? I live on Long Island as well. I really need this reading from you. I really need to know if my dad and my friend are happy and safe now. And if they’re looking over me and omg Theresa I have so many more questions. I love you show and you really have an awesome personality. Love it!!! Please please contact me. Thank you very very much.
Theresa,
I would love to talk to you as I also have,the ability to read. the accuracy is frightening and I often times feel uncomfortable feeling energies around me. I would love to learn to be grounded or protected to being open to receiving these messages without feeling scared. please contact me I would love to know your peace.
Hi Theresa,
If you get anything for me I would like to know. I will pay you up to $200.00 if you get anything for me.
Thanks
Steve
