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.”

I would love to meet and have a reading by Theresa,in 2005 my husband left for work-went into the bathroom and never came out. There are so many unanswered questions that my daughters and I have. There were no signs that his life was in danger. To this day I still shed tears for him and for my daughters and grandchildren who will never know what a kind, loving grandpa that they would of have. I still have a void in my heart and life and i have this picture him dying in a bathroom alone,that still haunts me. I must know what he felt and and if he called out to me for help. Please help me climb this huge mountain that I face everyday-and long for answers to my questions.
I am sicilian and we treat our husbands with so much respect and love. I want him to know that I still respect and love. Theresa, you are wonderful and I see, all you do to help families get over their grief and on the road to healing. Thank you, Daisy Herbe
Today is my first grandchilds birthday.She was born 2003 and murdered 2005 on my mother’s birthday.We still have not gotten a copy of her death certificate.I’m so lost still.
just was wondering if you could help me … i can see past over people but i need to really let my husband know im not crazey but the reason i have exsperenced a much diffrent life isn;t because what i am saying is make beleive but because i have seen spirit and i would love to move foward and allow you to let people come forward for me so he can know im not just seeing or talking to shit and let spirit explain to you who i am … it is so hard what i have been going through and experienced and now i am at the age where i need a partner not to just understand but except the fact that i am real and this is real and it wasn’t something i asked for but a gift i was given… they promise not to disappoint you
oh and i will pay you,,, the money is no object just let me know what it cost . the cost of being free is not comparable to being honest! probably once you see this post if you even do ,, you will have immediate activity they should be letting you know i really need your help i told them tell you where i live but i know you would be like what !

Hi Theresa,
I know that you’re super busy, but I need your help. I lost the love of my life and the father of my oldest son & I feel like he doesn’t want me to find happinees…my life has been a downward spiral lately and I need to know if my son’s father will ever let me find happiness….you are my last hope. I need to know that Steve will release me and let me find happiness.
Kind Regards,
Dawn
Hi I dont know if you really read all the comments you get but i was wondering if you could maybe give a friend of mine some kind of peace back in april she lost her 3 year old son to a sudden accident and i know now she is leaving a nightmare maybe you could help
Iam a 73yr old women and have lost many friends and family in the last 40yrs I don’t do well with death and not a day has gone by when I don’t cry for some of them. This might sound crazy but when I pass I have left a letter telling my Husband, son and grandson to come to you. I don’t want them to go through what I have gone through all these years. And I know they will find peace through you. Thankyou and may God bless you for all you do for people.

HI TERESA
MY NAME IS TEENA AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR SHOW AND IHAVE LOST 3 SIBLINGS AND MY PARENTS I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A READING.
THANK YOU TEENA
Hi Theresa my father died over a year ago. We lost him to Alsheimers. He had this for a very long time. Thru the whole time my mother stayed with him. She would only let us stay in small doeses of time. He died only after my mom said it was ok if he was ready he should go to his Lord. He died in her armsa few short hours after that. She was holding him but had dozed off. Theresa I think she hoped that he would have just a moment of clarity before he passed. What I wish for her is a not maybe a goodbye but a I’ll be seeing you. Thanks for using your gift so beautifully. Kim

Hello my name is Kashlee. My sister went through a tragity a few years back, and has never really found closure. I feel that it’s holding her back from some things in her future. She is so young and bright I don’t want her to miss out because of the past. It breaks my heart, I just want her to be happy and move forward, instead of clinging to the past. Please contact me anytime. Thank you for your time.
sorry Theresa my grandson was 5 years old when i lost him.
Theresa, i dont know you or about your show.The mother of my 3 boys called we recently seperated after 11 yrs,anyway she said you was gonna be in norfolk and for me to check out tix,which i might add are very exspensive.The thing she needs closure on is her mom suddenly died on 8-6-03 and she was not sick,out of the blue she was 57 at the time of death her husband refused an autopsy as to why nobody still knows do you believe there was any foul play involved at all thank you very much john panzino
I have looked and I guess this is the best way, I am not comp. savy. I have questions for you un-related to me hearing from the “gone from our physical lives”, but about finding our way. I have had many occurences where the other relm has been brouched. You seem to be the real deal and as I am a born Catholic and a semi recent Wiccan with christian ties I find it fasinating to see anouther catholic to come forth to (help?) others. My Mother is sceptical but lit the white candle and opened the window from another state when my grand father past. It would be nice to converse. I understand family and other obligations so a simple yes or no or a non response is fine.
Thank you for your time in reading this.
FYI: Nails ta di for, and love the hair.
Dear Teresa — Please tell me what you can about my Mom and my Cousin…..Thank you and blessings…….Mary
