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 Teresa, My mother passed July, 1996 and I am still having a very hard time missing her. I need to know my mom is ok and at peace. Thank you
Teresa, I have been with my husband since dec. of 1988 , 3 beautiful girls almost 19 yrs of marriage . I feel the need to leave my husband , losts of hurtful things from our past and present day! I truly need to know if leaving him will be a good choice for me. Let me finally find myself. I am so lost its consuming my life. It has for many years. Please I would love a phone call! I’ll pay over the phone! I just want this dark cloud over me gone! Thank u michele

Dear Theresa- I don’t know if u come to Texas but I have never been settled since my father past! Didn’t know if u can travel but need to know about him!
Theresa I don’t know how your schedule is my idea, I don’t know if it’s a good one, would be if you could go to Sandy Hook and help the parents of those beautiful kids that were taken in such a harsh manner. I am a parent and I would appreciate someone letting me know my child is ok and it would relieve much stress for me, I cry all the time just thinking about that tragedy, I’m sure the parents would welcome this from you, please consider this, thank you.
Dear Theresa, I lost my parents 11 years ago, and after there passing my life has been Questionable, decisions had to be made on all aspects, I was there caregiver and had to make decisions that nobody should ever make, with no help from family,They were young and I was torn when I lost them, I need to know if they new that I did my best in caring for them, and how much I love Them, since they passed I lost 15 friends and it feels like I am surrounded by nothing but death, hope I can meet with you so you can possibly give me some peace, Thank You…Laura…

Merry Christmas to you and your family,
I am writing in hopes that my letter might stick out among the thousands I’m sure you get, mine I’m sure not being any more important than the next. My Father passed in 2004 and I just cannot seem to come to any level of acceptance and carry a great deal of responsibility on my shoulders: ie could of, should of, etc. I would feel blessed to visit with you if at all possible. I’m in a small town in Oklahoma. Thanks, and God bless your gift.
Hi teressa, i just want to say i love you and the show. im a true beleiver of spirits. i lost my mom suddenly with no warnings she was sick in july 2010.i feel i never got to really say good bye or if she even knew i was at the hospital by her side daily. Then the doctors told me how bad she was and i was her prom proxy and had to make the decision to stop machine. i knew it was right thing to do as a human and from working in nursing field 20yrs.MY heart is broken and not a day goes by that i dont see what i walked into her room last day she was gasping for air. i told the nurse u need to give her something now,she did and mom was gone. i just like to know if she knew i was their till the end and maybe give me a sign she is around me or her grandkids who were destroyed by loosing her.ive been in house depressed last 2 yrs because i cant get that vision of her gasping out of my head.i still have her cell number in mine because im afraid if i erase it then its really real.SO many things i needed to say but she had so many visitors i never got her alone. Please help me Terressa. kelly

Theresa,
My only child was born hydrocephalic and died suddenly at the age of 7 years old in 1984.
My husband died tragically in 2002.
I have no closure on either death. I can’t seem to move on despite the great time lapse.
Where are my son and husband?
