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.”

Hello Theresa, my name is also Teresa and I watch you’re show all the time. I at fist had my douts about mediums.but after watching your show I do believe that a person can have the gift. my fiancee has always been a skeptic.But I tell him that it could be that God can gift a person with that. I was wondering if you could maybe someday you could give me a reading. And also finally make my fiancee a believer. Thank-you so much. Teresa from Colorado
I was watching a videos of me a few weeks ago and there was a spirit follow me throughout the hole thing I would like to see you for other things to. Thanks
DearTheresa,
I am truly devasted three years later from my Mother’s death.
I can’t seem to come to grips with her death.
I took care of her for over a year and know this was the greatest gift God could ever give me. However, some days I feel I can’t go on. The pain is overwhelming. Always in her room were ladybugs…smile. I consider that a sign from her. I can’t forgive myself for not being right next to her when she took her last breathe. Please help me to be able to go on. I would love to know if she is with me. November 5 makes three years and it feels like yesterday. Please respond in some way. Thank you and bless you and spirit. Also God bless your family.

Dear Theresa,
In October 23rd of 2000 my world and my families world was turned upside down. My dad was shot and and died that night. It was my mom that did it and she said it was a accident. It has been very hard trying to get through this. My mom received 15 years. I was my daddy’s little girl and my mom was my best friend. Their has been a lot of anger and uncertainty with all of us. We lost my mom and dad that night and I miss him so bad. I love her so much too but would like to know what happened. My dad and my mom were my world.
Hello Theresa,
My story sounds no different than the others that have written….but I am so sad and so is my family. I am hoping you can give me (us) some relief and peace. My boyfriend, Mark committed suicide in March 2012. We were together for 15 years. We are all suffering from feelings of guilt – feeling we should have done more for him and maybe he would still be here. It is hard to move on…..I would like to know if he finally peaceful and in heaven surrounded by loved ones. IF he is OK. If he blames us….. I still love him so much and miss him so….Please consider spending time with me and perhaps the family. Thank you.
Hi Theresa, my name is Gabrielle, i watch your show all the time and i am a true believer in mediums, just recently i lost a member of my immediate family and i was wondering if you can do a reading with me? My boyfriend is a skeptic and thinks your show is staged, i feel sorry for skeptics because there life can be so boring, maybe you can do a reading for him as well. Thank you for your time and if you can email me at this email address it would be great thanks!

I recently lost my mother, it was right at the time my daughter was getting married. She so wanted to be there to see her. Was she? I am missing my parents so badly and am lonely for them we were a very close family, Sunday suppers, daily lunches and phone calls once a night at least. Are they ok? Thanks and God Bless. Shelley
Hi, my name is Rachelle. About 7 years ago when I was 9 I lost my best friend in a fire. I have never been able to get over it. Also my Grandfather passed away before I was even born. Ive always wanted to get to know him. If you can please email me back.
THANK YOU!
I lost both my parents in the last year or so and missing them badly. My brother often comments that he can feel Dad with him, that he gets signs from Dad and since Mom passed only in July he doesn’t think he will get a sign this soon. I on the other hand can’t feel either parent, we were an extremely close family, sunday suppers, daily lunches, phone calls at least once a day. I am lonely and confused. I hope they knew I loved them truly, my daughter recently got married only a week after my Mom’s passing, this was difficult and I know she wanted to be there so badly, was she? Thanks so much and God bless. Shelley
Hi Theresa, My name is shirley. I lost my brother one year ago. I got a phone call from the hospital telling me my brother was put on life support and that he left all medical decisions up to me. they took him off life support and he seemed to get a little better then he had a set back , they had to put him back on life support. I got a call that he took a turn for the worse it was time to make a decision to take him off life support and let him go. I felt that my heart was being ripped out. it was the hardest thing i had ever had to do. I feel very guilty. I cannot sleep and i cry all the time wondering if i made the right decisions. i need to know if he is ok and with family. and that he forgives me for letting him go. Thanks Shirley
Dear Theresa,
My mom passed away this year on Mother’s day of pancreatic cancer, then about 4 months later my grandmother (her mother) passed away due to old age. We had to move my mother to a home which I really did not like, but my other family members are not in the best health condition. I feel bad that we meaning me and my dad. I missed the death of my mother, but my half brother was there when she took her last breathe. I went home to get some school work done and I got a phone call from my brother to get to the home as fast as I can and I did not make it. I am trying to be stronge for my half brother and my dad. I am going thru some depression right now due to the losses that I have back to back. I work full time, got to school to get my B.S. in Accounting and I have a family of my own. I am needing to know if both my mother and grandmother are fine and are looking down on my family. I have not had any signs of them in my presents. Can you please help me and my family move on or let us know that they are there with us and what not?
Sincerly,

I know how busy you are and know alot of people are in need how they love ones who pass is alright, and this note probably will not reach you, but, Within 1 years time I loss my Mom and then my son and then my niece. My mother I can accept, but my son and neice, they were in their 30’s and dont understand why. Both die unexpectly. They die with months of each other. I wish you could give some answers or at least to know they are alright and they are loved.
I dont think this will be answer, but there is a little hope that this could happen.

Hey um.. Theresa.. I wanted to know.. is it possible, for an average human being such as myself.. to communicate with the deceased?.. My friend passed away on Sunday, October 28, 2012. His birthday was the 25th of October. I attended his funeral, just yesterday, November 3, 2012.. but I still don’t feel right.. Is there a way.. you could communicate with him for me.. or at least tell me.. how? He was 14. He hadn’t even made it to high school. I just want.. one last time to speak with him. Please, is there a way?
