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, I like your show very much, because I wish you could contact my mother, she died last year on the 23 of Dec 2011, I never got to say good bye and I miss her so much she had an anurism in her head and bleed her head so much that she never recovered, my wish is that you find out for me if she visited some times me, but is one problem she does not speak english she speak spanish, but I believe you could tell me how she fell about our relationship,if you could contact me it would mind the world to me. I know you are very busy but I also know you care about the people you contact, you have a wonderfull gift. I wish you a very happy new year and I hope to hear from you very soon. You can find me home in the evenings during the week monday thru friday, take care Teresa, sincerery Nati

Hello Theresa,
How are you? In 1975, my father sister and brother were killed in a house fire. The cause was never determined. I had four older brothers and lost one over eighteen months ago. He died horribly and had not spoken with any of his family for a very long time. We were always so close and after he woke from a coma, I just happened to be visiting him and he confided to me that he was at fault for starting the fire. I don’t know if this is true, as we never had the chance to speak of it again. He was diagnosed with having HIV/AIDS, and the day he had died my mother and brother Joe were told by a nurse that he had Jacob Cruzdfelt Disease (Mad Cow Disease), and I believe his doctors and the hospitals should be held accountable for the incorrect diagnosis that caused him to be estranged from us. I have had many hardships since this happened including losing my home of 17 years to a wrongful foreclosure. I have a thirteen year old son with autism and my mother has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. In less than 2 weeks we were ordered to have all of our possessions removed from our home and I’m afraid we are going to lose everything as we do not have the means to complete this process. I was born on 1/14/1969, and have been told by many people that I have a gift of being incredibly lucky but I need to learn how to utilize it to obtain any benefit from it. I believe there is something I need to do to restore the balance somehow. If you could find a way to suggest some advice to help me through these times I would be most grateful. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I’m 51, I’ve experienced paranormal activity most of my life, the last few years have been the most active! I need help to understand! I have never slept thru the night, and most nights I’m very apprehensive about going to bed. I need to know I’m not crazy! The sometimes they invade my dreams, the dark shadow people that stand over me startle me to my soul. I’ve had perfume sprayed in my face, they tap my leg, flip my hair, walk by the bed, say my name! I have captured orbs and faces on my camera phone. I’ve encountered spirits while on vacation several times! Recently after a few events that took place, these things really weigh on me, I went to confession, right before I exited the confessional, the Priest asked me if he could say something to me, I knelt back down and he told me that I may see things that scare or startle me, not to pay attention to it, I related some of the things that have happening to me, he told me ignore it! I got up and left, it didn’t dawn on me right away, “how did he know”? I was 6 people in line? It validated a lot for me! Please if you could help me to understand this!!!!! I need sleep! Love your show!
Dear Theresa, four and a half months ago , my precious 8 yr old baby boy was murdered in a drive by shooting while he was asleep in his bed. a bullet from the gun shot through the window hitting him in the head while he was asleep in his bed. I never got a chance to tell my baby I loved him before he went to bed that night. It is the biggest regret I will ever have in my life. The murderer has been captured but I feel nothing. I really need this to help me heal. I have 2 small children ages 4 and 5 that still need me to be strong for them. It is the hardest thing to even get out of the bed in the morning. All I need is to be able to communicate with him one last time. Please. please read my story below http://www.tribtoday.com/page/content.detail/id/575640.html
Jessica,
Your son knows and is fully aware of your love for him. In fact, he is able to fully take in your love in its entirety now that he has passed. I hope that you get a chance to speak to Theresa so you can get some form of closure, but I assure you that your love for him is recognized and his only desire is for you to know that he is ok, and the love that you have given him in his life has changed his soul forever. That will never be broken. I wish you love…
I NEVER even write emails much less to a TV star. This summer I was home sick and there was a marathon of “Long Island Medium” on that week. I don’t feel I’ll ever get an answer but here goes. My dad passed away 43 years ago right after my 7th birthday. I was his only child. We were extremely close and considering the short time I had him I have many great memories.Its more than that though he feels so close to me and I’m always searching for bits and pieces of his life (he’d be 107 now ) and I just turned fifty. How do I find out if he is still with me?
I was wondering if you could help me…I just recently lost someone I love…I can’t seem to get over it. Could you help??
Hello Theresa,
My cousin was murder Jan. 7 2009 by her ex-boyfriend. I would like you to try and contact her for my aunt and her brother. Her death took a big toll on her mother and brother. I really think they need some closure in there life. Even to this day they still can’t except her death. They have become so angry and I know my cousin wouldn’t want her mother and brother like this.
Theresa I keep on having these scratches on my upper back, places that I cannot reach (due to injured shoulders) They constantly come and go, my husband is even baffled by this. This has gone on and on for so many years and I would like to know if you can help me figure this out.
I wrote a msg on thersa cuputo’s contant page 2 make an appt but I’m not sure it was on the correct page. My msg was the one about losing 7 close members of my moms family. But the page I wrote on didn’t ask 4 any contact info on me. So on this page I left name & e mail info. I hope and pray somehow theresa gets these msg. We need closure so badly. I know n my heart thersa is the way 2 that closure
I would like to mail Teresa a book I have written about my brothers abduction and he’s never been found. Where can I send it?
my son is fascinated with your show. He is twelve and a true blessing. He has serious medical conditions including epilepsy. I have always said he is wise beyond his years. He tells me things that I thought were his way of copying, like his Aunt Suzi holds his hand when his head vibrates (seizure) he started this at 3. He also would talke about grandparents that passed before he was born and says he sees them and they keep him safe. He makes comments that I use to believe was him retelling stories he had heard from other family members. My friend lost her son to SIDS. Shortly thereafter he had a seizure and he told me afterwards that his Aunt Suzi was taking care of the baby and was happy now because she was missing her kids. He recently had an episode where we thought he may have had a seizure because he had fallen and no one saw him just before. He was adamant that he his head did not vibrate because he saw no one. He said I just bumped my head. I am not sure what to make of it all and he is such an innocent wise soul, that I truly believe what he is telling me. He definately has a gift how do I help him with it. He is devoted to your show and when watching it he tells me he is like you and “she gets me”.
