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
My name is Erika I had someone very close to me pass if you could help me i would be greatly appreciative ……..if not i know you are busy…..hope to hear from you ………. Thank you
I’m sure you already know this, but I’ve been having very lucid dreams of my grandmother and other family members. I would love to have a meeting with you and figure out what all of these dreams mean to me. I know that my family members are with me all of the time and I feel them more than a normal person should. It’s like they are always in my presence.I just feel it. I am a very lucid dreamer as is my son. He has told me of dreams he has had.I think that must run in my family. Please get back with me. I would love to have a reading. There are so many in my famliy that have gone too soon. Thank You for reading this. Sincerely, Jennifer Kerr
Hello! I am watching your show on tlc and you are truly amazing. My step brother recently passed away he was shot in the back and the guy that shot him is getting away with it saying it was self defense I need closure I need to know if it was self defense. I need to know if he is still around. We miss him so much. He was only 19. I need this and my family needs this. Please help.
Thank you so much
Hi Theresa–I’m so hooked on your show! How can one tell if they have or can develop ‘special’ powers? I thought my husband and I were soul mates–he died 12 years ago and I’ve never had a truly tangible sign from him. I keep hoping that I’ll figure out what I’m doing wrong so I can be sensitive to any messages he may be sending. I would certainly appreciate any tips you are willing to share.
HUGE hugs,
Bambi

Sincerly Lucy.
Ok i know this is crazy for me to do, i wouldn’t say i’m a non-believer or anything like that , its just i’ve never thought about anything like this… Well i’m writing because i’m pretty desperate at this point with all due respect. I’m 20 years old and i lost my (almost) perfectly healthy mother in her sleep 5 months ago and i’m searching everywhere for closure can you help me? I understand your busy, I just seen your show for the first time yesterday so I thought I would give this a chance. Thank you
Seriously, I would like to see what Sue Drew has to say to me as my adopted mother did not give us a chance to have a private conversation before Sue passed away.
I want to know what my “son” Joey has to say to me as I always want to hear his last words to me as we did not get that chance before he passed away.
Seriously, hope you get this and get to me.
Thanks,
Mindy Joy
When people die and are resuscitated, do they leave behind energy like others who die, or does that energy return to their body? My cousin died twice after a car accident and was saved and thinks of herself as reborn, I was wondering if she truly could have left behind a part of her behind that day.
Hi
I wanted to know if you are able to do readings over the phone, or if I where to send a picture to you could you read from the picture??
I would like to make an appointment with you.. How do I go about doing this ?
Hi im steven. Me and my grandmother live in New York .My mom passed away when i was 4 years old in 2001. Im 14 now and me and my grandmother want to know if she is still with us. I would like to make an appointment with you.
hi theresa i would love to make a appointment with you l lost mom mom in 2004 and i also lost the man i loved in 2004 i just want to know if they are still with me i miss them verry much thank you
My mother passed away 5 years ago and I still feel very guilty. I feel that her passing was unnecessary and that I could have done more. She just gave up. Since her passing I smell cigarette smoke in the most unusual places. I feel she is here and is trying to tell me something. I would love to have the oppurtunity to talk with you if that is all possible.

When My Grandmother dies, I was 27 No one believes this, but I actually saw her sitting on my bed for months after she died. I visual saw her. I loved everyone moment of it. I wished that I could see her again. Can I do that. Most people believe that I might have felt her presence. But iam telling you I SAW HER.
Please tell me what to do.
Meryll
Hi,
We are in my office in Rockville Centre, NY and we are thinking about our loved ones lost today especialy, as it is “:All Souls Day”. Meryll was very close to her grandmother, and I lost so many people lately, including my only sister and we really want to connect today if possible. Please respond if you can………
Dear Mrs. Caputo,
My name is Katie and I am writing on behalf of my uncle who lost his daughter in early 2004. The loss of a child is something no one should have to experience and every time I see him, it is like it happened yesterday. I think of my cousin fondly and I think maybe if he could have a chance to reconnect with her maybe he could finally move forward with his life and give the family that he has left a chance to see him in a more possitive light. I miss my cousin very much, but I miss my uncle too.
Dear Theresa I’m in so much pain I need to talk to my love one more time I cry day and nigth I lost hem one year an 2months my life is spining with no control I’m geting deeper and deeper in this and I don’t see the way out please help me thank you so much.
theresa, i would love to see you!! my biggest fan, my father passed away 10 months ago and i never got to say goodbye. please help me.
Hi, I am so happy for you but also understand the challenges that you face with your gift. I am just stopping by your site to say I love your show and wish you the very best.

Yes…i love your show Theresa and am booking an appnt, but can I say to the people that are begging for help on here that people are unbelievable!!! She is a medium and does not do email readings nor is a doctor. She can’t medically diagnose you like some of you have asked for or help you deal with issues in your life that is outside of her BEING A MEDIUM!!!!! Reading some of your comments makes me feel a whole lot smarter in this world. See you soon theresa!!!!
God Bless
